Shoppers have praised an Amazon radiator fan they wish they had found 'years ago', with the device priced at £49.99. More than 50 units of the Smart Air Boost Radiator Fan have been bought in the past month.
How the fan improves heat distribution
The Smart Air Boost Radiator Fan prevents heat from instantly rising to the ceilings by accelerating the warm air forward, boosting and improving heat distribution more effectively, the site says. It provides 'warmth at living height'.
Shoppers can use either Manual mode or Automatic mode, depending on preferences, and can easily change between the two modes with the flip of a switch. The fan is also fitted with an intelligent heat sensor for 'maximum efficiency'.
Versatile design and alternatives
The versatile design means the fan can be used corded or cordless. Shoppers can run it off the mains power or charge the built-in power bank for up to 14 continuous hours of cordless and portable use. The brand says it is engineered to efficiently heat the whole room in no time so that the thermostat switches off quicker.
As an alternative, Argos has the SpeedComfort Radiator Fan Mono Set in white for £49.95. This is designed to clip magnetically onto existing radiators to 'boost heat distribution and speed things up', the listing says.
At Debenhams, the Valiant Radiator Fan is available for £29.99. This features a powerful triple-fan design, meaning it prevents heat from rising straight to the ceiling or escaping out the window. The listing says the universal magnetic fit means it attaches securely to most double radiators 'in seconds', with no tools or complicated setup required.
Shopper reviews
The Smart Air Boost Radiator Fan has been rated highly by Amazon shoppers. One said: "I bought this Smart Boost to help distribute heat from my radiator more efficiently, and after using it for a bit, I'm genuinely impressed with the difference it makes. The biggest plus is how much faster the room warms up. Instead of heat just rising straight up from the radiator, this unit pushes warm air outward, which helps the temperature feel more even and comfortable much sooner. I also really like that it turns on automatically once the radiator reaches a certain temperature - no need to manually switch it on or off, which makes it feel very 'set and forget'."
A second said as part of a longer review: "I wish I had found this product years ago, as my bedroom had been cold for years when putting the radiator on. This Smart Air does wonders, so glad I saw an ad for it. The heat blows out from the side of it into your room, instead of upwards. Now I am nice and cosy in my bedroom."
While a third added as part of a longer review: "This is very good and useful set of fans. We have a large conservatory with only one small double radiator and, even though we have a thermal roof, (we) had difficulty getting it warm. With this device, you can set it on auto to come on when the heating does (we change to manual during the day), and now the conservatory can be used even on freezing mornings."
Others left some feedback, with one person saying: "A great wee device. Bought this item a few weeks ago when the weather was still a bit cold, and it certainly heated up the room in no time. Must admit, it is a bit noisy, but you soon get used to it."
Another person said: "It works, maybe not as good as I expected, but it does work. A little noisy, but you don't notice it after a while. You need to try it to see if it suits your needs."
The Smart Air Boost Radiator Fan is available from Amazon for £49.99.
