SmartAir BOOST XL Radiator Fan Touted at £69.99 as Households Seek Cheaper Heat

Coverage highlights a sub‑penny running‑cost claim, with temperature‑triggered controls unverified.

Overview

  • The SmartAir BOOST XL is sold on Yimbly for £69.99, and Yimbly is owned by Reach PLC, which publishes the outlets covering the product.
  • The brand markets the fan as boosting warm‑air circulation to heat rooms faster and as costing less than a penny per hour to run, though these claims come from listings rather than independent testing.
  • Articles report automatic start/stop tied to radiator surface temperature, citing a 33°C activation and a 65°C cool‑down cutoff, with the differing figures not reconciled.
  • Customer reviews quoted from Yimbly and Amazon often praise quicker room warming and portability, while several note noticeable fan noise.
  • Features listed include corded or cordless use, a 2.4kg weight, and an LED display showing fan speed, battery level and radiator temperature, with alternative heaters from Amazon and Debenhams also flagged.
