Kogan TV - know before you buy

tomokaicho on 19/01/2020 - 18:40

I bought a KOGAN ZU9010 4K LED SMARTERTV™ just when they came out. A few months ago the remote control got irreparably broken (don't ask) so I contacted Kogan to buy a replacement.

Unfortunately, Kogan doesn't have a replacement remote control for this model, nor can they give me details so I can program an IR blaster. I've tried dozens of different IR blaster configurations, all to no avail.

TL;DR - if you buy a Kogan branded TV you may end up with an effectively bricked device if the remote control is lost or broken.

    You might've wanted to spend your effort on doing more research than on this well intentioned but immediately debunked PSA.

    got irreparably broken (don't ask)

    I've had about a dozen TVs and zero broken remotes. Maybe the real PSA is just to take better care of your remotes.

      Next time I'll make sure that my flatmate doesn't accidentally put it in the washing machine when I am not home. Thanks for nothing.

        Hahahaha, sorry, guess the PSA should be to… I've no idea actually. Not give dumb as rocks flatmates access to your stuff. I've lived with flatmates. Still zero broken remotes. Dunno what to tell you mate, just tough bloody break.

    Kogan TVs break super easy - someone will have a spare remote ;)

      Only because it was impossible to return for warranty claim.
