'I tried a heating gadget that was so effective I had to put the fan on'

While the temperatures might be finally starting to rise after a bitterly cold January, we're not out of the woods yet. For many, heating the home is a luxury rather than a given, with the odd small heating gadget going a long way to ensure the house stays warmer for cheaper.

Our reviewer Samuel Jones has been on a quest this winter to improve the heating in his home, with him initially upgrading most of the radiators around the house. While this has made a huge different, he's still struggling to tackle the front room with it being the largest room in the property by far.

It also has a hard floor which adds to the struggle of getting some heat into the room in the first place. While it's possible, it takes far longer than anyone would like and is far from ideal when you come out of the cold seeking instant warmth.

There are lots of gadgets and gizmos out there that claim to make a difference when it comes to heating your home, so Samuel was intrigued when offered the chance to try out the SpeedComfort radiator fans.

They claim to heat the room up in “half the time while saving energy”, but how did they fare when we put them to the test?

Setting them up is simple enough, and only takes a few minutes. You just have to fiddle around with the magnets on the fans and sort out the wires, then once plugged in, they’re good to go.

The instructions aren’t amazing, they’re not terrible, but all you get is a diagram on a box. Despite this, they aren’t hard to set-up, they simply stick to the underside of your radiators with the magnets provided and as soon as they’re plugged in they’re ready to use.
