 AI reviews summary 

Kogan receives a high volume of positive feedback for its competitive pricing, extensive product variety, and efficient delivery times. However, a significant segment of users reports severe dissatisfaction regarding unauthorised "Kogan First" membership charges and a difficult customer service experience when issues arise.

Pros
Competitive Pricing: Frequently cited as having the best value in Australia, particularly for televisions, appliances, and annual mobile plans.
Efficient Logistics: A large number of users report exceptionally fast dispatch and delivery, often receiving items within 2 to 4 days of ordering.
User-Friendly Interface: The website and mobile app are praised for being easy to navigate, with a straightforward checkout process and diverse payment options.
Mobile Plan Value: Long-term users highlight Kogan Mobile as a reliable, cost-effective alternative to major carriers, specifically praising the 365-day prepaid deals.
Cons
Unauthorised Membership Charges: A recurring and serious complaint involves users being automatically signed up for a $129 "Kogan First" annual membership without clear consent during checkout.
Difficult After-Sales Support: When products are damaged or incorrect, users frequently encounter a "nightmare" support process characterised by unhelpful AI bots and a lack of a direct phone line.
Marketplace Seller Issues: Multiple reports indicate that items sold via third-party marketplace sellers often suffer from slower shipping, poor communication, and difficult return processes compared to "Sold by Kogan" items.
Warranty & Refund Delays: Significant friction is reported in obtaining refunds or warranty repairs, with some users waiting months for resolutions or being forced to escalate to the ACCC or Fair Trading.
Verdict

Kogan is a strong choice for budget-conscious shoppers seeking fast delivery on a wide range of goods, provided the transaction is straightforward. However, consumers should remain highly vigilant during checkout to avoid unwanted membership subscriptions and be aware that resolving technical faults or shipping errors can be an arduous, automated process.

I placed my order with Kogan on Saturday 13th June. I am not a First Member. Therefore, I payed a little more for one pair of Ugg boots plus one pair of moccasins as well as postage. Since I use PayPal for my purchasing it was processed immediately. I was notified my order had been dispatched Monday 15th and was delivered Thursday 18th June. I am… Read more ·  1

Just had an amazing experience with Kogan and I have to say — their returns policy is next level! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy website, fantastic prices, fast delivery AND if something's not right they make the returns process so smooth and hassle-free ✅ No drama, no runaround, just proper customer service the way it should be!

Very easy to find and compare similar units, good range with clear pros, sizes and reviews easy to see. Very happy with final result as it’s perfect for what I needed, small, cheap and cheerful as well as easy to set up and learn to use. Given the drier it replaced was from the 90’s I may have outdated expectations about durability but so far very pleased. Show details ·  1

Recently I purchased a Saucony woman's runners from Kogan at a great price. Delivery was quick and product was beautifully packaged. I love Kogan and Saucony. I have 3 pairs of Saucony extra-wide as they are roomy and comfortable for my problematic feet. I will definitely shop at Kogan again and highly recommend them. I give them a 5-star rating!!! Thank you Kogan. Show details ·  1

I have been looking for a black Rangehood and didn't realise how hard it would be to find, especially one that did not need to be vented. Kogan came through, not only with the perfect replacement but the right colour and a fantastic price. I installed it today, very easy. It looks great, very happy with my purchase. Show reply

Kogan delivers really good customer service (their employees or repair person/people are knowledgeable and helpful), and promises and delivers on quality products or replaces the products. The process is a little slow, so I took 1 star off this… Read more ·  3

modified review. If there was a .5 star option, I would have chosen the .5 star removal instead of the 1 star removal.

That's my experience of the purchased items, plus the request of a replacement due to a defectiveness.

Also, Kogan all in one pressure cooker, that I've used for many months, beats Kmart pressure cooker. Kogan pressure cooker has additional accessories and the navigation on the use of the device is easier to understand and remember than Kmart's version.

I highly recommend Kogan products. ---------------------------------------- Original review: 2 stars.

Just recently bought a kogan built in water tank benchtops dishwasher, because I needed extra help to do basic chores. This machine has issues such as not closing properly as concluded from the steam found on nearby walls and water droplets on the machine. It is lengthy to receive a replacement, or have someone repair the device.

I bought a pressure cooker and after a few months, it still works and hoping it does for the next few months.

I bought a wiltshire knife at Kogan a few months ago, and this product developed rust stains. I bought a wiltshire knife at big w about more than 5 years ago, and this utensil has never developed rust stains within the 5 years it's been under my care. When I can afford too, I buy Wiltshire knives because of the reputation and experience of longevity and quality.

I bought a few things from Kogan a few months ago because of the rave review and the affordability. Now, I'm sad because I've read and experienced how poor the after sales care and problematic communication in receiving a replacement, or warranty repairs.

 Follow-up  · I was offered a refund or wait till August (it was mid-latr May when the issue occured) for my new dishwasher machine. I eventually chose a refund. The refund process was quick. I bought a smaller dishwasher elsewhere for the meantime. I will my most likely buy that Kogan's dishwasher model once there are in stock (currently in presales). … Read more

Saw this beaut deal for Kogan 50" Smart TV for under $400 and ordered, without a problem on the Kogan website. Ordering was easy and payment confirm came through almost immediately. So looking forward to receiving, unpacking, installing and using this TV. We already own a 50" Kogan television and have done so for the last 6 years or more, so using the remote shouldn't be that difficult to use. Show details ·  1

We had a major problem with the delivery of our order which I have to admit was Entirely MY fault. Customer Service is sadly lacking these days and so I was not very hopeful of getting the problem resolved However due to the Absolutely fantastic Help and Service provided by Kogan's Maria Lea the problem was resolved Very Quickly! What a relief! … Read more ·  1

Thank you soooo much Maria and Thank You Kogan. On that basis alone (and the quality of the products and price were great) I would thoroughly recommend purchasing through Kogan! Best wishes, Brian

Buy off eBay or Amazon instead and save yourself the trouble of dealing with this shonky website. I purchased a USB cable on Kogan.com which arrived faulty - it provides almost no charge and if you move the cable it cuts out completely. Instead of immediately offering to send a replacement as I would have expected, they first wasted my time asking… Read more

a series of pointless questions (“Is it plugged in?”, “Can you send us a video of it not charging your phone?”...) And now since I ‘escalated’ the issue to their (apparently non-existent) ‘Customer Care’ department 48 hours ago, they have just stopped contacting me about it altogether. Of course I understand that any item may occasionally develop a fault, but at least the other 2 websites have a fast, straightforward and effective system for reporting these and often have a refund or replacement on its way to you immediately afterwards. If you receive anything from Kogan.com and it doesn't function? Tough luck.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I returned a pair of UGG boots that were sent incorrectly. Australia Post tracking shows that Kogan received the return on 29 May, yet I still have not received my refund. I have contacted Kogan multiple times and have received no response. It has now been well over a week since the return was delivered, and… Read more

the lack of communication is extremely disappointing. [Name Removed] is the internal guy looking after my complaint he is absolutely useless and should be sacked
