Just my current view of Kaden – I am a licensed installer of split system air conditioners. I have a Refrigeration Handling License. I also own properties in Darwin, and manage others. In total, I have responsibility for over 40 split system air conditioners. In recent years (over 5 years) I have been purchasing MHI airconditioners when replacement was necessary. I like MHI.… Read more ·  1

However, unfortunately, at times in Darwin MHI are unavailable. So, so far, I have been buying Kaden from my usual supplier, Actrol. And so far, so good. There is plenty to like about Kaden. Hopefully, Kaden will be a good brand going forward,

No Pilots Licence Required – Easy to use remote control, basic Air Conditioner-and no need for a Pilots Licence to operate. Worked quietly during a 42c day recently unlike my Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Con previously. Don’t look for remote control features as there’s virtually none, but importantly it cools brilliantly in a heat wave. Show details

I'd like to give it 5 stars, except that – It's a great air-conditioning unit. I would give it 5 stars if it had a decent timer function. I can't believe that it doesn't allow me to set the ON and OFF times using the time of day! Also, I would have expected it to provide 7-day scheduling instead of 24 hours. Show details ·  1

CANT GET SPARE PARTS, Do not reccomend Paul the owner of AIR MR Refridgeration as the reccomended Installer for Kaden – We purchased two arconditionerts and got the reccomended installer from Hervey Bay to install them on our boat, He made a absolute mess of our boat and of the airconditioning unit on one aircon. We had to replace walls and ceilings on the boat, He left a large hole in the deck and we had leaks through the ceiling of our boat. He rubbed glue off… Read more

the cover of the Aircon with thinners and when i requested a new cover i was informed that Kaden do not have spare front covers. I contacted kaden directly and found out that that is correct. I told them about the installer and the situation and they are unable to get a new front cover for my brand new Aircondtioner. The installer was Paul the owner of AIR MR Refridgeration Very dissapointed all round. Oh and the heat settings blow hot air for about 10 minutes and then blow cold air, There is no consistancey in the heat settings. Very Disspointed.

Best ever air cons!! – I have 2 x 7.0kw and 2 x 2.4kw Kaden air cons. Not only are they reasonably priced but great for cooling and dehumidifying! I live in a very humid area and absolutely love this brand!! I have another brand 5kw installed but Kaden runs circles around it!! Show details ·  1

Very happy with my Air Con! – I had an old and noisy air conditioner, ready to be replaced. After lots of research online, I found Kaden as the best option for me in an affordable price. The design of this air conditioner, with the white glossy colour and the LED numbers that show the temperature during the day and the option to remove it at night was a big tick on the box.… Read more ·  1

Also, the heating and cooling system is great as my room is warm in just few minutes. At night it is the best once I am asleep, as I can programme it for after I'm sleep. I am very happy with my purchase. It looks like a part of my room’s deco. I'm also very happy with the service provided. I can highly recommend this product and company to my family and friends.:)

Absolute rubbish – I have had nothing but trouble with it. First call out was at 12 months old, the middle of summer showing p4 error. Electrician came out and change the motherboard said it was faulty! Second callout was 3 months after the first callout, NOW another error message….. electrician came out and told me that it must be a faulty Computer between the… Read more

inside unit and the outside unit. Had a call from Reese representative she told me that the error is now due to a mice plague, which clearly it’s not as it was faulty well before the “mice plague” seems they don’t honour the warranty of this brand… I am yet to have it fixed middle of a blizzard and mind you been without an air-conditioner for a month…. extremely poor customer service! Just do the right thing and replace the unit…. I will take this as far as I can!!!!

Broken out of the box, 8 months waiting for a $20 part – Have a 4 month old baby now freezing as Kaden's after sales support is non existent. This air conditioner does not maintain setpoint. Have it set to 24 degrees and the room gets down to 17. When I explained this to the person who answers the support number she just said "okay" after 2 months they were able to arrange a third party service provider… Read more

who was very busy and took 6 weeks. Diagnosed it as a thermocouple and we have been waiting 2 months for the part. Don't buy !

Love it. So quiet. Timer is great. The warranty provided is amazing – Features are great and easy to use. Heats or cools quickly. I love the timer, makes getting up on a cold morning easier. Best thing was the warranty! Very happy with my air conditioner  Show details ·  1

Does the job and does it well – The unit is quite quick at cooling or heating the whole room. When it's hot during the day or night, having it on for less than a few minutes usually brings the room to the right temperature. When I have it on for extended periods it doesn't seem to reduce in effectiveness. We don't use much of the extra features but the timer works as it… Read more ·  1

should, but the remote needs to be nearby during the duration. If you set the timer elsewhere and don't put the remote close to the unit, it might not trigger.

Some days in the summer, the AC will be on full blast (17 degrees, turbo mode) and we would be sitting directly under the unit, still sweating. But that's probably the fault of the Brisbane heat rather than the air conditioning. Other than those cases, it seems to do its job quite well.

KS12 AC – Works well in extreme conditions, quiet outdoor unit, remote is simple to use. Install was easy as and we had to add an extra $100 for the outdoor unit height brackets. Would like to know more about the USB wireless Capability if it is compatible for this model, Not much info; on it though, KADEN could you please explain if its available or do i have to use a Sensibo unit instead ? Show details ·  1

Quiet and efficient! – I am a qualified airconditioning installer and I decided to try out a Kaden after a lengthy discussion with the sales team at Reece. I got one for my own house to see what it was like and I must say I am very impressed! The unit is just as quiet as any I've installed in the past and works great! I will definitely be buying more in the future. Show details

Wowee - My Kaden unit is amazing! – My mate (AC installer) suggested to get a split system for my apartment, he said you could go with all of the named brands etc... And get ripped off. Or you could go with this new brand called Kaden? Its backed by Reece (so you know its good) and can save you a few dollars! Sounds good so far! I now have 2 split systems in my place. 1 for the… Read more

lounge & Kitchen (Mitsubishi) & 1 for my Bedroom (Kaden). Both are fantastic and to compare them, I would say the Kaden is far better. Easier to control & looks better on the wall. It's super quiet even when on high fan speed (compared to the mitsubishi), and the outdoor unit I can't even hear (especially in a high density environment). I am looking forward to the Summer when it gets really hot and I'll be able to have a comfortable sleep in my bedroom rather than in the lounge. I'm getting a Kaden splitty in my next place for sure! Really pleased with the outcome!

Great Lounge room split – We replaced our old broken down split system with a Kaden 5kw unit and its been amazing. Great looking unit and provides heaps of air flow compared to the old one which heats and cools the lounge really quickly. Would definitely buy one of these units again. Show details

Great value for money! – I bought two units for a rental property about a year ago to replace old ones and they have been working trouble free on both heating and cooling. The previous installed units were made by TCL and one was damaged by the tenant and the other just stopped working Show details

Great bedroom unit – Bought this unit about a year ago, very quiet as I'm a light sleeper and I've never noticed it. Keeps the room nice and cold and isn't too bad on the power either. All in all I'm very happy with it. Show details

Terrible quality and customer care – We purchased 3 units from Reece and have had nothing but trouble, one stopped working, the internal fan’s accumulate dust causing the units to purge the air. An air con tech said they were poor design. We have sent emails to Reece and been in store but we are still yet to be contacted their customer support Show details

Rubish!! So angry! – I am wasting so much money on electricity trying to warm my tiny 2 bedroom house. I have even closed it off so that it is only the small lounge and my room. Have it on 30 degrees turbo fan, its only warm air up close and cool air 3 meters away. After 8 hours use on 30 degrees the 2 temp readers in my lounge sat on 18 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Complete waste of money - absolutely useless! Heat will only work if you use another heater source! – I bought this unit 12 months ago because I was assured it was a quality Australian made product. What a mistake that has been! I have already had the outside unit replaced once. Last winter even on 18 degrees the unit blew out cool air, not really a heat. I had to buy a $30 floor heater and a heated wrap blanket for any warmth and comfort. Having… Read more

just been through a hot summer, again the unit offered very little cool comfort - had to also use a cheap floor fan. Now approaching another winter - and unit does not throw any heat. Instructions as shown in booklet do not work. My little $30 floor heater throws out more heat than this unit. But boy! - is power bill going through roof. What is most annoying is that the booklet has a very sneaky sentence that is NOT explained when buying the unit. Says - (for heating) - "we recommend using this air conditioner in conjunction with other heating appliances". Had I known this previously, I would NOT have bought this item. I simply cannot understand it - it does not make sense! So in order for this heater to work, you need to have another heater working! I have other air conditioners and none of them need another heat source to work. More disappointing is the company response - I paid for an Air Conditioner that works, that is definitely not what I have. Do not recommend.

Not what I was expecting – Got this one to replace my Mitsubishi which I loved but unfortunately died before it should have just after warranty. The unit looks great but the fan is very powerful and is suitable for large homes not 3 bedroom villa. My Mitsubishi had a quiet more adjustable fan which could be blown any direction and had many speeds which I mostly used the… Read more

low. I use the low on kaden and it feels like high, plus the directional flow isn't as adjustable as I would like it. It has made my electricity much higher than when I used the Mitsubishi. The one good thing is the led display - Mitsubishi didn't have that.

Kaden KL25 Evaporative Cooler – Very happy with purchase of Kaden brand Evaporative air-conditioning system replacing a 17 year old Brivis. It has been a reliably cool workhorse in hot uncomfortable spring and summer conditions. It has a very strong fan and simple and reliable to operate. Low profile design and grey colour looks great on the roof. A great addition to our comfort in summer!  Show details

Super Impressed – We replaced our old clapped out unit with a Kaden unit based on recommendations from some family friends which had them installed at their holiday rental home. The unit feels a lot more powerful than the 7kw brand name it replaced and also seem to reach temperature much quicker. The indoor unit also has a pure white look to it that fitted in our… Read more

color scheme much better. Remote is simple to use and our power bill definately has improved. Also has simple filters that pull out from the top so you don't need to open front panel to access.
