Fire and insurance issue AVOID THIS PRODUCT – Bulbs burn and melt plastic. Causes unit to come apart. Spring coil connection to plastic clips is flawed. This unit will cause a fire and should be allowed to be sold . Be aware of house fire potential .
Heller cheaped out on this downgraded unit. Disappointment plus+ – Shame that Heller went and cheaped out. Not the same as previous TRUSTED model. No improvements here. New model is light & flimsy. Big deal it has… Read more
wheels, it feels unsafe.No more on/ off button - now you scroll dial to highest point to engage fan. I used to highly recommend but now only say AVOID BUYING TO AVOID TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Heller brand never buy again, just stare at it with contempt for ripping customers off and loosing customers. Reviews and word of mouth CAN help other buyers from making the mistake of BUYING this heater unit and not being unhappy.
The user manual is a dogs' breakfast – The user manual is a dogs' breakfast. I've read every word of this lengthy 10-page leaflet. It tries to cover all models. It repeats statements… Read more
unnecessarily. Diagrams don't match the parts to assemble. No explanation for a choice of 3 settings. Still can't get the timer, I paid so much extra for, to work. Regret purchase!

Lasted 4 hrs before blowing a fuze. Cheap crap. Don't buy
It's just a great pressure cooker it's cheap feels strong and heavy for plastic it does take a while to pressure rise but its a great reliable pressure cooker
Foolish design - giving it to the op shop – I have a white Heller HIM10 ice making machine which was gifted to me 3 or 4 years ago. It has a plug at the bottom of the water holder which is… Read more
meant to allow you to empty the machine by sliding it out from the benchtop and holding a bowl underneath the drain hole, or just placing the edge of the machine over the sink. However, the little plastic tab on the plug is so tiny that it's impossible to get a good enough grip on it to pull the plug out! Therefore, to empty it, I have to lug the machine over to the sink and turn it upside down to let the water run out. As the manufacturer's instructions include the proviso that it's not meant to be turned upside down, this is scarcely satisfactory. I have emailed Heller a few times but received no reply. I'll be ensuring nothing made by Heller enters my home again.
You Get What You Pay For – We purchased this heater on May 8th, 2019, and absolutely loved it. Perfectly suitable for our undercover patio area. But, the pull cord failed and could not be repaired. No more heating. Lasted a year and a bit. Sadly, a throw-away item.
broken and not working as advertised – recieved today and re packed and returned today and hope to get refund why bother sell flauty products There must be some quality control to filter… Read more
out non work ing stuff Not happy at all and just wasted A consumers time and effort Don't know how choice gave it a high 'rating'
At last, a quiet exhaust fan – I bought this ceiling exhaust fan to replace another Heller fan, model HEX250L, that was unacceptably noisy. It does not have a light, but I did not… Read more
need that. This "250" fan has three blades and a 34 watt ball bearing motor. The noise level is the best I have found so far for a "250" fan, yet the rated volume output is good. This model may be hard to find as it is not available at a major retail hardware chain.
With its power lead, DIY installation is easy if you already have a socket installed in the roof space for a fan. If not, you will need an electrician. If you are replacing an existing "250" fan, note that this fan requires a 300mm round cut-out, whereas many others only require 290mm.
Providing it lasts, I am very happy with this unit.
Good to heat small to medium size rooms quick – I bought 2, works well and is quick to heat. tried in room sized 3 x 3 meters and also on 5 x 4 meters. It works well in these size rooms. Rooms gets… Read more
warm in 5 -15 min normally. Not really sure on auto cut off and restart start. Auto cut off works but have not seen it start back again when the temperature goes down. That is my only disappointment. It is a bit noisy for its small size. It is light weight with a decent size cord. For the price paid, it is very good for heating small rooms.

Biggest waste of money – Bought the dryer in April 2022. I rely greatly on the dryer being a family of 6. Two days ago it stopped working. It turns on, makes two clicking… Read more
sounds, and then turns itself off. I am no closer to a resolution with Mitre 10 Hoppers Crossing. I sent an email 3 working days ago and no one has been able to help me.
Kogan 1800 watt flame effect heater – The thing blew up the fourth time I used it.Not happy Jan. $99.00 for nothing. Could you tell me how to make a claim to get my money back, I haven’t got the money to waist on things that blow up. Sorry no longer have the email for the product.
Had an earlier model - was great. Purchased latest model but was faulty on arrival and would not engage without utilising the timer switch, which was… Read more
unaligned and not correctly seated. Also very noisy and unsteady. Got a refund but store didn't want it returned. Threw it in the trash. Would not recommend.
Very easy to use, however half of the kernels weren’t popped. Even with a large bowl, popcorn was being popped onto the bench and floor. The photo shows how many kernels weren’t popped.
This has lasted under 3 years. When I contacted Gaf repairs . They claim it would be cheaper to buy a new one. We do not have any spare parts. This has hardly been opened as it is simply what it is described as a bar fridge. Never by this brand
Performance is terrible – Does not work well for extracting steam from our bathroom/shower. Very quite. I am now replacing with something else. This is suitable for a single… Read more
toilet area as is quite and could slowly extract the air without everyone hearing that someone has visited the room. Not recommended for shower area where steam is to be extracted. Electrician said it was difficult to install.
instructions? – Just purchased recently. The instruction manual could be improved in the operations/installation if the written instructions were better explained.… Read more
The small text is a nuisance to read. Sizes of the drill bits required for wall installing are not given. Operating instruction states 'turning the handle of the thermostat clockwise or counterclockwise....' is difficult as the thermostat does not have a handle! In the low heat mode, the unit is ideal for our bathroom. Turning it on reveals the room temperature, increasing the required temp is easy, but activating the timer is a little hard to master as the instructions are somewhat unclear. It does the job without any complaints from me, looks neat and tidy and it works. And not expensive with a reasonable warranty period.
Short Term Life – I bought one of these fans 5 years ago when I moved into my house and installed it above the shower. Two years later it stopped working so I… Read more
replaced it with another Hellier Fan. Now another 2 years later and this one has packed up. Do I have anything nice to say about Hellier Exhaust fans? NO. Would I now buy another one? NO. I will be looking for a replacement brand.
Not happy – We bought this strip heater for our bathroom October 2021, it bombed out April 2023. We paid $195 for it online through Mydeal and when approached… Read more
for the name of a repairer was told they couldn’t help nor could the distributor GAF industries. A private electrician said it would cost more to fix than to get a new heater. Not happy Heller

This worked great for four weeks, and then died. (Usage: only 1 hour a day, 3 days a week) It doesn't really heat the room, but it is nice when you sit next to it.. that is.. while it is working.
Disappointing Product – This wall mounted 3 element strip heater was fitted in our second bathroom, just over 3 years ago. The bathroom is generally used by just one… Read more
resident and on average the heater is on about 10 minutes per day. Two of the elements no longer work. As it is hard wired, to replace the heater we have the cost of both a new heater and the services of an electrician (not cheap!) I contacted the firm responsible for product inquiries re Heller products (GAF Control) and it was totally dismissive of my concern and offered no help.

Not happy – This product was just awful I can’t believe I’m saying the but I would rather buy Kmart fans It’s so clingy weak easily to fall the design it’s just… Read more
horrible the legs fell off easily there’s no structure reason of me returning I would recommend buying a different brand for summer.
Terrible fan – Terrible quality. Cheap plastic plate at bottom and too heavy at top so it tilts over, then has an auto shutoff feature if it is tilted over and… Read more
won’t work unless it’s upright. So then it is a game of putting teatowels under it to get it to balance so it won’t automatically turn itself off. Useless waste of money.
