Kambrook Portable Heaters Review & Guide

From blenders and pressure cookers to vacuum cleaners and electric blankets, Kambrook seems to have it all. The same goes for its selection of portable heaters, offering different styles of oil column, ceramic, radiant, fan and micathermic heaters. But with most models offering basic functionality and a power output range between 1800W and 2400W – the question remains – is this budget-friendly brand worth buying? We check out the different products and features available.

Kambrook Portable Heaters

Kambrook produces a variety of portable heaters to suit most needs and households. It typically offers several styles of oil column, ceramic, fan and radiant heaters to choose from. However, the availability can change throughout the year ─ so, make sure to keep an eye out, as a model you’re lusting over for winter might no longer be in stock when sale season hits a few months later.

Kambrook ceramic heaters

For a portable heater that is a little more compact, you may like to try out Kambrook ceramic heaters. This type of electric heater uses ceramic plates which absorb heat and release it into the air. It’s better suited towards spot heating, rather than circulating warmth around the entire room. Prices usually start just at $99.95 and reach up to just over $200.

Kambrook’s ceramic portable heater range includes:

  • Kambrook Personal Ceramic Heater (KCE85)
  • Kambrook Ceramic Tower Heater (KCE340)
  • Kambrook All-Round Stylish Ceramic Heater (KCE460)

Kambrook fan heaters

Another option to make your bedroom toasty on a chilly morning is Kambrook’s fan heaters. Fan heaters use a standard metal-coil element to distribute heat. It has dual functionality allowing the fan to run in both warm and cold seasons. A downfall is that fan heaters take slightly longer to cool down compared to ceramic heaters. However, these are more affordable and usually cost between $60 and $80.

A couple of Kambrook fan heaters include:

  • Kambrook Upright Fan Heater (KFH700GRY)
  • Kambrook 2400W Oscillating Fan Heater (KFH770)

The 2400W Kambrook portable heater (KFH770) shares many similarities with the brand’s Upright Fan Heater, but provides extra versatility with two heat settings and variable thermostat controls in addition to the fan-only function. While ceramic heaters are good for heating cold spots, the oscillation function on this model is said to help circulate heat throughout the room so you can enjoy more widespread warmth. You can also expect safety features including ThermoGuard overheat protection and safety-tip over switch.

The Kambrook 2400W Oscillating Fan Heater has a one-year replacement warranty and measures (H x W x L) 322mm x 222mm x 164mm.

Are Kambrook portable heaters worth the money?

Kambrook portable heaters are worth purchasing, especially if you’re simply after a budget-friendly model with basic functions to help get you through the chilly months. Prices for its portable heaters start from as little as just over $60 for a small fan heater and go up to $200 for a ceramic model. If you’re on a budget, Kambrook’s range does remain affordable compared to most other brands but doesn’t provide extensive design features.

To help keep your energy bills low, it’s a good idea to consider how much wattage a heater uses, because the higher the wattage, the more power it will need to run it – and the more you will pay in energy bills. This is particularly useful considering portable heaters don’t have energy star ratings, which help give you some frame of reference when it comes to judging a model’s energy efficiency. Most other appliances, like fridges and washing machines do come with an energy star rating.
