Looking to slash your energy bills this winter? I gave the SmartAir Boost XL Radiator Fan a whirl, and it’s a game-changer. Priced at £69.99, this clever gadget makes sure warm air from your radiator is pushed into the room instead of escaping upwards to the ceiling. Result? Quicker room heating and reduced boiler time, saving you money!
I was sceptical, given the recent flood of “miracle” energy savers on the market, but this one truly stands out. It adds warmth swiftly to those stubborn cold spots, and watching the thermostat climb is oddly satisfying. Plus, it’s economical, with running costs less than half a penny per hour!
The fan works automatically, switching on at 33°C, ensuring you’re not wasting any precious heat. And if you’re like me and enjoy a clutter-free setup, you’ll love its cordless option, boasting up to 14 hours on a full charge—perfect for moving between rooms.
Is there a catch? The noise. At its highest setting, it can be a bit noisy. I keep mine on low, which works just fine without causing too much distraction. Not a big issue though, unless you’re in a quiet room or trying to nod off.
Compared to other options like the SpeedComfort radiator fans, which also do a good job, the SmartAir really excels at directing warmth where you need it most. And with the added bonuses of radiator foil available to reflect heat back into your room, you can maximise your energy savings and stay cosy all winter long.
Fancy trying it out? The SmartAir Boost XL is available from a bunch of retailers, including HighStreet TV and Amazon for that very same price. Or go for the smaller version if you’re on a tighter budget at £49.99.
