4YourHome Electric Radiator Fan – Low Power Low Noise 12W White

Well, there's a surprise! I fitted the unit over the radiator - it just fits between the inner and outer parts. At first, feeling the slight. warmish flow of air from this unit, we thought it couldn't possibly make much difference - BUT IT DOES! Obviously, it can't make a huge difference - it isn't a heater - it just redirects some of the warm air which would otherwise just rise up (and over the cold window!) However, after a short time, we found that it really made a difference to the overall warmth in our lounge today. I checked and could see that the amount of electricity it used was very low - less than our dehumidifier uses. So, a good buy as far as we are concerned. Oh - and it's very quiet too! Update: As others have said, the magnets on the legs are woefully inadequate, so I have bolted two strong circular magnets on instead. (See photo) This not only holds the unit securely on any radiator, but also positions the air intake directly over the top of the radiator front. Improved warm air flow.

My problem is that the radiator in our living room is undersized, and it would be a lot of trouble to install an additional radiator. On cold winter days we use our electric fire to get the room up to temperature quickly. I bought the radiator fan to see if it would boost the radiator output so that we could use the electric fire less. The improvement is not dramatic, but it does work. I did several tests, and found that the room gets up to temperature rather more quickly, due to the substantially increased air flow. The two main problems with the product are 1) Noise - it's bearable, but can be rather annoying when there is no TV on, and the room is otherwise quiet. Our electric fire has a similar fan and is much quieter in comparison. I feel the noise could be reduced if the manufacturer used a better motor. 2) No thermostat to switch the fan on automatically whenever the radiator becomes warm. (When the fan is not switched on, the air flow is actually rather worse than it was before fitting). I think both of these shortcomings could be addressed by the manufacturer without a dramatic increase in price, and it would make the product so much better - I I believe it would then easily beat all the competing products.

Its just arrived and I was eager to set it up. It has 2 legs at the front and it comes with 2 screw on legs for the back. Depending on what type of radiator you have, you might want to fit the back legs to make it stable....I didn't need back legs. The cable is I'd say about 3 meters, I was prepared to get an extension cord but I didn't need one which pleased me. My video shows it on setting no.1, it's a low humming noise, nothing that will distract you and it flows out warm air. It's not blasting the air out but you can feel the warm air if you put your hand near the item. I'm sitting a few feet away from the rad and I can def feel warmer. Setting no.2 is a tiny bit louder and more warm air is being pushed thru the fan. You literally take it out the box, sit it on your radiator and plug it in. Easy to set up On really cold nights, I might have to put it to no.2 but on a normal winter night no.1 feels great I chose this radiator fan opposed to others, as this directs the warm air towards the room, whereas most of the others I looked at, the fans were pointing upwards. I'm so glad I chose this fan, the humming isn't loud/annoying. I could def use this in a bedroom as it isn't loud enough to disturb my sleep I also think this looks smart, not bulky or odd looking It's not an electric heater so don't expect to feel mega hot. This is just redirecting the heat that comes out the top of the radiator, towards the room I'd highly recommend this

This fan runs constantly not just when the heating is on all day and all night. Therefore also circulate cold air. The different ones I have on my other radiators which are electric come on and off with the radiators.( unfortunate out of stock). Cannot recommend.

fan works ok on full speed other setting does nothing i.e. toggle switch only works on full speed , fan does the job of blowing warm air but is very noisy you can hear the motor whirring over the tv or radio , not an ideal unit glad I only purchased the smallest one can't imagine how loud the larger ones might be , also if you don't turn it off when the room reaches temperature it then blows cold air (i.e. the radiator cool because the heating has reached its required heat) if anyone has chooses to buy this type of unit then go for a temperature controlled one there a little more to buy but save in the long run buy as the don't blow air around when the temperature is reached , a friend of mine has one and it is really quiet running and goes off with the radiator

I looked at various options for a radiator fan and this seemed like the best option for our home. The fan is very sturdy and sits on top of the radiator with magnets holding it in place. It isn't overly loud and has 2 speeds settings, we always leave it on the highest. The radiator does vibrate a bit when the fan is on but this is a radiator not the fan. We tried it on other radiators in the house without any vibrating noise. The heat blown out is very considerable and definitely makes a difference to the heat flow in our hallway where it is situated. Our hallway previously very chilly but we can feel a noticeable increase in heat in the area, especially as the radiator is next to the front door. When I put my hand over our radiators without the fan the heat is ok but when the fan is on the heat being blown out is considerably increased. I have linked the fan up to a smart plug too so I can turn it on from my phone when the heating comes on and goes off, I would recommend this to make it more convenient. Some radiator fans come on when the radiator reaches a certain temperature but they are also more costly so a smart plug is a great alternative. There is a nice long power cable too so you can put it quite far away from a plug socket. I have tried the fan in other rooms too but our hallway seemed the best option although I'm thinking of buying another one for our bedroom as the radiator is quite small in there. Overall I would definitely recommend the radiator fan, a simple solution with great results!

Works really well

It poor far below what was expected. Rather noisey
