£70 radiator fan gadget shoppers say saves a fortune

The £69.99 SmartAir Boost XL radiator fan is designed to improve heat distribution around the home, helping rooms warm up faster and potentially reducing energy waste. The portable, patent-pending multi-fan heat circulator moves warm air at living height rather than allowing it to rise towards the ceiling.

By spreading heat more effectively around a room, the device can help a thermostat reach its target temperature sooner and switch the heating off earlier. The gadget is available on the Yimbly website, where shoppers have left positive reviews.

How the SmartAir Boost XL Works

The device uses axial fans that channel warm air through specially designed air-conducting funnels, helping distribute heat more effectively throughout the room. Users can choose between manual and automatic modes at the flick of a switch.

In automatic mode, a built-in heat sensor activates the fans when the radiator reaches 33°C, directing warm air into the room. When the radiator cools below 33°C, the fans switch off to avoid circulating cold air. Manual mode gives users greater control over how the device operates.

Energy Efficiency and Design

The SmartAir Boost XL is designed to be energy-efficient, with running costs claimed to be less than half a penny per hour, though running costs may vary depending on the electricity tariff. Its lightweight, portable design makes it easy to move between rooms, whether working from a home office during the day, relaxing in the living room in the evening, or getting ready for bed.

The gadget can also help speed up drying times by directing warm air towards a clothes airer, making it useful during colder months when drying laundry indoors can take longer. No plumber or electrician is needed, as the device simply sits on the radiator and is ready to use.

Shopper Reviews and Product Details

Product specifications include a weight of 2.4kg, dimensions of 81cm x 10.6cm x 11.5cm, wattage of 13.5W, voltage of 9V, and a charger cable length of 1.8m.

One shopper said: "Wish these were on the market years ago, could have saved a fortune on energy bills. Rooms heat up much quicker, fabulous product." Another review read: "Fantastic product, has made a cold room warm again. Recommended for anyone looking to radiate heat from a lukewarm radiator."

A third fan said: "I've had one of these for a couple of years, it's a excellent product, it does exactly as described. I'm more than satisfied with this item." A fourth shopper added: "This is amazing, I have my sofa against the radiator in my lounge which blocks out most of the heat. The fan now directs the heat over the top of my sofa and I have a warm room again. Wish I had bought one a long time ago."

At the time of writing, the only negative review reflects a delivery issue. The gadget is available for £69.99 on the Yimbly website.
