Great purchase, purchased a second one
We haven't had any issues with our panel heater. It heats very quietly and there's no fan. We actually have had it in our baby's room for the whole winter and it has a thermostat and switches on and off to achieve the desired temperature.
I'm a little worried now though, after reading the previous comment about the fire? :-(
Great heater, quiet, inexpensive. Bought it when it went on special to $79 with free delivery.
Not good for big rooms eg living rooms etc

Very happy with my purchase
Bought two Kogan panel heaters and am very happy with delivery speed and the product itself. They both work really well and have a built in thermostat which controls room temperature. My rooms heat up quickly, there is no noisy fan and they are portable but would fit on a wall quite well also. Took only 2 days for delivery. I am very happy with my purchase.
Portable, quiet and heat up quickly
Nothing

Effective and inexpensive
This is a great portable heater..Definitely great because of the obvious "portable" fact...but does the job. We have it in our living room and heats it up within the hour. It seems to have reasonable power and is safe. I have a baby so that is always a concern. It is inexpensive, looks clean and tidy and heats effectively.
Inexpensive

Faulty within 3 days - not happy.
After receiving heater, it stopped working after 3 days (only used twice). Plugged into the wall socket, turned it on - nothing. Called Kogan who said to return it for them to look at. AFter 3 weeks, and chasing up on the phone, they tell me its working perfectly and I would have to foot the bill for freight as it was not faulty.
I was furious - they send me a faulty heater, somehow it magically works when it gets back to Kogan, and they ask me pay the freight to and from Kogan - which equals half of what I paid for the heater itself!
Not happy. Spent 30 mins waiting on the phone for someone to answer.
Do not buy from Kogan!
Poor quality. Bad service. Complete rort on freight.

unsafe for baby!!
We purchased this heater as a safe heater to have in our babies bedroom as we live in a very cold house.Thought it was great until this morning it caught on fire and started to melt! Luckily my baby was not in the room at the time.Makes me sick to think what may have happened if he was.It happened without warnig,it wasnt close to any object and there was nothing covering it.
Portable,quiet.
Caught on fire! Faulty.

How to set temperature?

HI Annette,
It depends on the model.
Some of our panel heaters have a digital control where you set the temperature in degrees, while others have a more basic switch or knob which engages more of the heating elements.
If you can check the model number (on the box or on the sticker on the back of the product), we can advise. It will likely be a number beginning with KAHT.

I have read the reviews and comments but nowhere do I see how much it costs to run. Is it a big energy user and if not how much does it cost to run? I live in Sydney..

Hello Dennis,
I'm sorry but I can't tell you how much it costs to run.
I have not seen a noticeable increase in my power bills.
Perhaps the product specs can tell you how many kilowatts it draws per hour.
I'm not much help either, it powers up to 2000W so its no lightweight, but I have solar with feed-in tariffs so its hard to judge. That said, my estimate is $150 per month when I ran it pretty regularly last winter and it was a lot cheaper than my gas burning heater, which was costing me about $250+ per month
