When it works, it works just fine. But two died with 18months. Zero durability.

Great slow cooker for at least 6=7 years – We've had this slow cooker for easily 6-7 years or so now. It's served our very hungry family of 3 or 4 very well in all of those years. Made many… Read more

casseroles on low heat over 8 hours at least once a fortnight to once a month, and it cooks well every single time. Great investment for a great price.

I like it, a lot. It’s a cheap plastic cooker, perfect for 2 people, takes a minimal amount of space and very simple to use. The cheap material might… Read more

end up breaking in the future but it’ll just give me an excuse to get my tools out and and make replacement metal clips…

2 little cups of rice, 4 little cups of water - flick the switch, 15 minutes later, cooked rice for the whole family! This is the smallest, cheapest rice cooker at JB Hifi (which has a surprisingly large range) and it fits perfectly in a tiny kitchen. It automatically senses when the rice is cooked, switches itself to warm and then sits quietly. You can steam vegies, hard boil eggs in the steamer basket etc. The non-stick bowl is magic and wipes clean with a paper towel. No mess, no fuss. No more sludgy rice water in the sink. Fuiyoh!

Bought at Good Guys for $47. Noted that this toaster is also sold under different brands - they look similar & have the same button layout. Very… Read more

poor - it will either under-toast or burn, the browning control knob is quite loose. Spring to eject toast is too strong, almost chucking it out onto the floor. The crumb tray is too small & crumbs get caught in the bottom of the slots - no wonder they warn that the toaster may catch fire.

This is a brilliant steamer. I use it on fine material dresses without any issues and it works super fast. Great product.

Makes great pancakes and is much safer and consistent than a fry pan. Grand kids love them!

Just what we needed – This slow cooker is a great addition to the kitchen. The instructions are helpful. It is a stylish design and the removable inner bowl is not out of… Read more

place on the dining table and is easily washed.The temperature control is clear and easy to read. The food we have cooked in it has been done to a nicety.

Disappointing! – Kettle died after less than 4 years operation - plastic posts on base disintegrated, causing auto switch off mechanism to fail. Also found that… Read more

plastic filter holder inside the kettle was also disintegrating - adding plastic to our tea and coffee - YUK!

We've had this bad boy for over 10 years with pretty much daily use. Only recently the power cable has become stiff and started to crack at the pin plug. So time for a new "2025" model.

Works fine but short lived. First one stopped working at 12mths so took it back to good guys for a warranty replacement. Second one just stopped working at 12mths & 3mths. Not buying another kambrook.

Excellent value for money – Like other users giving highly positive ratings, it took a while to "dial in" the optimum browning setting, but this machine seems to manage to get… Read more

the same amount of brownness on the one setting for all types of bread, fresh or frozen - c. 1.7 on the dial in my case.

It takes no longer to cook frozen bread than fresh, so it must have some smart sensors (hand-me-down from the Breville parent product?).

A very different device from the conventional electronic toaster of yore, but once you have it dialled in, it's great, and well worth the effort for the price.

The Kambrook brand guarantees durability and quality but none of my appliances have lasted very long, well under the expected lifespan. Made cheap.… Read more

Sunbeam outlives Kambrook. I purchased 2 "industrial" looking fans that both broke. One outside warranty period and one within weeks. My kettle and toaster broke after two years, which is a very short lifespan for this kind of appliance used by one person. AVOID!

Long lasting, efficient and inexpensive – My Kambrook Steamline has given me more years and more reliability than any other iron I have used in 60 years. This could be me being more careful but i think it is the affordable, easy to use product. Nice long cord.

Fantastic product – This juicer is easy to use and clean. It produces a lot of juice.

It only lasted 2 years and 3 months, not 5 to 10 years . The output and power was satisfactory for use in a small room

Kambrook Skillet – I was given this skillet fry pan by a lady in 2021 no lid, you can buy one from Kambrook, however I use one I found that fits. It is the best pan I… Read more

have used, fantastic performance cooks everything even a small roast, hardly use the cooker top these days. 100% recommend it, I want to buy one as a spare. The only thing I would suggest is a better coating on the pan as it will scratch over time. Could be a little bigger for larger family cooking. Take care of it cleaning and cooking and she's is a wee ripper.

We recently had to replace our kettle. Had it for 5 years. Obviously we replaced this with exactly to same kettle. These just work and work and work. We love these and are so happy we found the same one.

Not as good as I hoped it would be – Only used it for about 6 months and not a lot of use in that time either. I seem to be going further round the heat control to achieve a result.… Read more

Where previously I was between 2-3 to get a light toast, now I'm between 4-5 ? [2 slices] So, it's heating power is a bit weak and quite slow to pop up. Also, an uneven toasting. Cheers. John

pancakes and is so easy to use, even my 6yo can cook pancakes with no assistance. The timer function takes the guess work out of cooking and it is the easiest appliance to clean. We use our own pancake recipe, not the one provided in the box.

Poor quality – Non stick surface peeling off after 2 months and only ever used soft rubberised utensils...also power plug is difficult to remove on pan end Wouldn't buy again as is of very poor quality and a total waste of money

It's ok. Ordinary electric fan which looks generic. Made in China – This is my review for the Kambrook 30cm desk fan, Model KFA241, Arctic antique gunmetal finish. I've purchased this fan online from The Goodguys for… Read more

$89.

This desk fan needs to be assembled but that wasn't difficult for me to do. The Instruction Booklet was easy to follow for me.

This desk fan has manual controls for the ON, Fan speed selection of 3 x speeds and a Swing button for oscillation On and Off, and this is what I wanted in such a fan.

This is for Australian power rating 230-240Volts ~50Hz, 40 Watt.The outer packaging information reads "Only the best pass our test". "Tested for 2200 continuous hours".

The label underneath the motor head reads "Engineered in Australia by Kambrook". "Made in China to our exact specifications" and this is where I find such statements suspect. There's so many other brands with this very similar looking generic fan design available globally ( sometimes also referred to as a bench fan, only the flat round base varies and the colour or finish ). For example Kmart Anko 30cm Black metal Bench fan appears in almost identical design except that the round flat base seems different. Goldair also has a very similar 30cm desk fan where the round base seems different. There's also other brands with almost identical design and this raises questions for me. Is this a generic desk fan that Kambrook put their label on and had some variations of specifications done by the manufacturer and Kambrook ?

While in operation, to some even the low speed might sound a little loud but that sounded ok to me. On the second and third speed setting or high speeds this fan jerks slightly while oscillating although it's not an issue for me. The fan speed sound might be a little too loud for some. I wish that the low speed setting was much lower though. ( I hope that someday a manufacturer engineers a fan to include a very slow, quiet speed setting which simulates a very gentle breeze like my much older desk fan did ). To some the low speed setting on this Kambrook fan might be too fast.

The Gunmetal finish might scratch easily so be careful with your screwdriver while assembling this fan. The fan blades are also a little suspect to me because they appear to be made of bare tin i.e. they're not painted. This can be an issue later on because tin can corrode. With an $89 price tag, I would've preferred that the fan blades were manufactured with a coat of paint at least.

Although this generic desk fan design has also been available by other brands of manufacturers the reason I chose this Kambrook fan is that Kambrook states their products are "Durability Tested" ... "every Kambrook product is still built to the toughest durability standards and performance levels".  But I don't know if this desk fan is of the highest quality or longevity and I'm also having some doubts because this design is also available by other manufacturers; to me, it really does appear to be a generic desk fan manufactured in China with some specifications or variations changed by Kambrook. After reading their above product claims from Kambrook, I hope this Kambrook desk fan remains safe and trouble free.

This fan is ok, for now, I don't know if it's going to be trouble free or have longevity. However, I do think that the price of $89 is far too high for what it is i.e. other brands eg. Kmart Australia is advertising a very similar generic Anko fan for a competitive $39. That's $50 more for this Kambrook generic fan which I think is hard to justify; it better be to Kambrook's "durability" and "performance" claims. People are able to search online read information, reviews and compare products and prices easily with their smart devices. Please refer to the photos.

It cannot be that hard – Opened box and saw that this product was almost identical model and design compared to the K-Mart Anko (I think it was) brand that I threw away,… Read more

which prompted me to buy another, but what I thought was going to be better quality, yet six oranges later it was dead! Yes, you read that right: I didn't even untie the cable tie because I thought to myself, 'oh here we go, a rebranded product and probably the same sad design' but this actually it turned out worse for more money, at least I had my other one for a year! I don't know why they persist with this design, I guess some people got lucky like my last one. In saying that, you could say I am a veteran using this 'press juicer' design so I know I certainly was not pressing too hard to actuate the press, but I assume it has sheered the gears and now the pieces have fallen between the pressure switch contacts and it will seldom even powers-on...but that is futile with damaged gears anyway if it did spin.

Kambrook, why is it so hard to make a juice that has a simple on-off toggle switch??? It is not as if this is a circular saw! It spins at probably 100RPM and there are no sharp extremities/spinning blades; you can also incorporate a micro-safety switch that detects the jug is fitted if you a really concerned about this juice going rogue; you guys have made descent stuff for years, yet this one slipped through the cracks.

Kambrook Soup Maker 2 simly no longer works – I purchased my Kambrook Soup Maker in June 2018. It's worked so well until today when there was a loud grinding noice as it went into blend mode.… Read more

That noice is due to residue from metal breaking up in the base of the blender which connects to the blades. File below shows the residue I found in the blender base. There is also some apparent metal shavings iniside the sealed compartment of the blender jug. Trying to report the issue so they could consider a recall on current and older models is near on impossible. Kambrook email directs you to Breville. I eventually found my email case on the Breville site after I set up a free account, which was opened and closed by Breville at the same time. It's such a shame their Customer service for Kambrook appears to be non-existant. Last Breville product I will buy.

Kambrook 1.75L Baroque kettle – Very appealing looking kettle with temperature reading which is a great feature however at around 6 month mark kettle appearance started to deteriorate and now looks old although still heats water very well but is quite noisy when heating

Will NOT buy again – Bought this fan less then 12 months ago, and it started making a tapping noise so ha to take it off rotate, then all of a sudden it just STOPS, and the top of the fan where the motor is, was HOT.

UNSAFE/SAFETY HAZARD! DO NOT BUY! Faulty crackling remote just after a few months use – My fault for losing the receipt, but the remote started making a weird crackle noise and stopped working just after 3 months. Called up Kambrook,… Read more

said they don't offer replacement parts, don't even have a repair program. Just throw it all away and big a new one. NOT worth $150 at all.

Probably a good thing I'm having to throw it away since I don't want to be electrocuted by this thing.
