Kambrook KFA839

Pleased with the product when first purchased. Will confess, have considered the Kambrook name somewhat synonymous with quality and reliability ie. just part of the furniture for as long as you can remember. For $129, I did not expect a considerable loss in power after a mere 4-5 months and no way of cleaning the fans. I also have the same experience as recent reviews and believe KFA839 model is built for the 12 month warranty and nothing more.

Easy to use and a relatively quiet operation but still pumps out a lot of air. I was pleasantly surprised and ended up buying a second one for my bedroom, overall I'm happy with the purchase and the remote comes in very handy.

Very short life span. Have had one replaced under warranty. A second has just stopped working. No power.
Very disappointing. I have had the same experience as recent reviews.
When they work they are very good, but it's a gamble as to how long they last.

We hardly use the product and now with summer approaching, the fan just suddenly starts to beep every 30sec? And the physical buttons on the tower stops working and we can only resort to remote control. What's going on?

Bought it for $130 and it was great while it lasted for about 2.5 years but now its stopped working. There is no way to even clean the inside components and i had approached a Kambrook service center since my warranty was over and the technician consultation fees itself is $70... so ur better off buying a new product with new warranty..... Overall pretty disappointed with how things turned out.

Like I notice from the majority of reviews below this fan stopped working after 1 year which where we live equates to 4 months of occasional use over one summer, very poor value almost seems like it is designed to break once the 1 year warranty expires. Took it back to JB Hifi where we bought it from, they indicated it was the most common fan they stock that is returned due to faults. Also of note this fan is designed so you can't clean it. So I have a tower fan that looks brand new that I payed $139 for which will go in the bin. I notice Kambrook gave up replying to customer reviews which shows how little respect they have for their customers.

8/12/2019 - I bought 4 fans about a week ago from Harvey Norman Belrose. Within a week, one was returned and replaced for a loud clicking sound whenever it oscillates.

I opened the 2nd box and immediately the fan was making a loud rattle !!! It sounds like the propeller is hitting onto the body of the fan !!!

I have opened my 3rd & 4th box and after 2 days, the fan is making a creaking and clicking sound whenever it oscillates !!

I'm currently in contact with Joanne from Kambrook to find out if I'm just unlucky to have receive a faulty batch of fans.

These fans are in our bedrooms and are switched on at night and off in the morning.

Positives: Looks great, has many functional options (eg: fan speeds, timer & oscillating/rotating functionality), has a small foot print which is great for smaller rooms, shows the room temp on the screen & you can do all functions via the remote control.

Negatives: Like many of the reviews here, mine malfunctioned around the 9 month mark: the oscillating (turning) feature stopped working. Before this it started to make an odd grinding noise, which means something internal fell apart. All other features however still worked fine. The lcd scree...

Had 2 In of them in 2 years first one remote stopped working with in a few months second sat for few months in winter now it's summer been using It flat out and now top bottons not working and keeps beeping every few mins

I purchased my Kambrook KFA839 tower fan because I liked the sleek design, that it came with a remote and mainly because it was quiet. After very minimal usage over the first year the fan worked perfectly, however almost immediately after the 1 year warranty was up, it started to malfunction. Most of the buttons on the unit have stopped working, it is also impossible to change the mode settings now. The unit beeps EVERY 40 secs, regardless of whether it is switched on or not. When it beeps the display lights up for 20 seconds. This is not ideal...

Great until it died just after the 1 year warranty expired

The fan will randomly work on low but only from the powerpoint. None of the buttons work anymore

Pros: good air flow, great height for the bed, remote control
Cons: bright blue LED lights, noise, stopped working properly.

Won't buy another Kambrook

This fan broke within a couple of months!! Paid $130 for it. Expected much much better! Remote was the first thing to go.. then it stopped isolating and then it would only turn on and off at the power point and not at the power button on the machine. Waste of money!

The turn table broke very easily. It makes noise while turning. And fan is noisy when you change to strong mode. All the functions are put in don't make any different when it is hot. And it is nearly impossible to clean when it gets dust. I had to take of nearly 20 screws to take it down to clean. And dont forget you still need to put them back again.
Well. The only good thing is it comes with remote.

This is a fan that I thought would be better. It is a little loud, and maybe a bit expensive for what it is. However, I have had it for a year and it still works as well as it did on the first day, so I can't complain about that.

Bought this fan 2 years ago. Really liked it initially but it is probably made from really cheap parts. At the time of this review, the control panel at the top of the fan has stopped working and it no longer oscillates. If it was cheaper, I would recommend it but at its current retail price, it is not worth the money as it has to be thrown away after 2 years. A friend bought the 90cm model and it experiencing the same problem so it seems to be designed to stop working properly after about a year.
