Radiator thingy to redistribute the hot air

[NotAsTired]

A fair few months ago (or maybe even last year) I saw a couple of designers on TV who had invented a new product that basically redistributed the hot air from the radiator so that it went to sofa level, as opposed to the ceiling. It was something that sits on top of the radiator and was quite modern looking. It was going to retail for about £20-30.

Does anyone else know what it's called and where I can buy one? I'm trying to winterproof my house.

id be interested in something lke this

I think it's a Radfan, developed by some guys at Newcastle uni

Ah, thanks for that.

I found another product here which costs £24.95, costs 30 pence to run a year and saves on average £70-140 a year.

The radfan is more expensive at £49.50, costs less than £2 to use in a year but does not say how much it will save (as far as I can see), although does tell us that turning the thermostat down by one degree can save us 10%.

Does anyone use either of these products?

Yes, I've used the radiator booster (not the Mk 3, though; a more basic plastic box model).

I can't quantify the effect, but it was particularly useful in getting the heating out from behind the sofa (usual rental house problem of things not fitting properly/ furniture's not having been bought for the space).

'hmmmmmmmmmm.

Looks interesting, I wonder if it is noisy.

The RadFan guys say that you wouldn't be able to hear it if the TV was on. The radiator booster - seems to be very mixed reviews regarding the noise, although most of the reviews seem to be for an older model.

piglet if it works as it should and there's one in every room, I guess it would save a significant amount. I will buy a radiator booster when I have some spare cash and feedback.
