Introduction
When I reviewed the original Shark TurboBlade cooling fan, the first thing that I thought was: wouldn’t this be great if there were a version that also heated? Here we are today with that very product, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK.
It remains a powerful and flexible cooling fan for those days you need cooling, but the addition of a heater makes it multi-purpose for those days you need some extra heat. Cleverly and thoughtfully designed, this is a great fan that can be used all year, although some kind of smart control would have been nice.
Design and features
- Adjustable blades
- Central heating element
- Remote with LCD
Externally, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK looks much like the cool-only version, with its innovative blades that make the fan unit look like a propeller. Set horizontally, the fan blades are 820mm wide, which takes up quite a bit of space.
However, the entire blade assembly can be rotated into a vertical position, saving space when needed.
Not that you have to pick horizontal or vertical, as the blades can be set at any angle in between, letting me direct air where I want it.
And, each blade has 180° of adjustment, giving even more flexibility. Whether you want to aim cool air at two people, deliver a strong forward blast, or anything in between, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK, like the cooling-only version, is the most adjustable fan I have tested.
While the cool-only model had height adjustment, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK does not, due to its heating function.
Rather than pushing hot air out of its blades, as most other fan heaters do, such as the Dyson Hot+Cool Jet Focus AM09, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK has a central heating element, finished with a rose cold surround.
To switch to heating mode, the switch on top has to be twisted to put the fan into heater mode. Most other fan heaters that I’ve reviewed give you the option to do this via the remote control. It’s not terrible, but there are times that I’ve sat down, turned the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK on, realised that it’s on the wrong mode and have had to stand up to change it.
As the heat comes out centrally, the heater has a sliding control that adjusts the airflow direction: left-to-right when the fan’s horizontal, and up/down when it’s vertical.
As a more complicated product than the cool-only version, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK has a full LCD panel on the front, with touch controls. The panel is surrounded with a blue light when in cooling mode and a red light in heating mode.
Heating mode
While there’s a brightness control (four levels), there’s no way to turn the screen and light off completely, which may rule out using this device in a bedroom.
Basic controls are available from the front panel including oscillation (45°, 90° or 180°), and a choice of 10 fan speeds in cool mode, or a choice of target temperature (16°C to 32°C) in heating mode.
For more advanced control, you need to use the remote control, which attaches magnetically to the top of the fan for storage.
This remote doesn’t need line-of-sight to work and it has its own LCD that shows the setting you’re changing, such as fan speed or target temperature. And, the remote’s colours match the fan’s mode: blue for cooling and red for heating.
REmote heating mode
As well as duplicating the controls on the front of the fan, the remote adds some extra options.
There are movement controls that let me turn the fan to the left or right. That’s really handy, as from the comfort of a seat I could move the fan to point at me (or away from me) without having to start the oscillation mode and then try to pause the motion at the right point.
There’s a timer button that moves through the options: one, two, four and eight hours.
Finally, there’s a Mode button that does different things depending on whether the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK is in heating or cool mode.
In heat mode you get the choice of Comfort Mode (gentle, constant heat), and Focus Mode (full-power constant heating). Neither of these modes uses the integrated thermostat, so be careful using them, as you could use more power than you intended.
In fan mode there’s a choice of Sleep Mode (the fan is muted, the lights dimmed and the fan speed drops), BreezeBoost (a powerful gust of air) and Natural Breeze (a more natural-feeling airflow that’s designed to replicate a real breeze).
It would have been nice if Shark had added smart controls to the fan, giving a way to automatically schedule the fan or remotely turn it off.
There’s no air filtration with this fan, but there is a dust defence panel at the back, with a simple filter that collects larger particles of dust and pet hair. This needs to be removed, vacuumed, and wiped at least every six months. If the filter is particularly clogged with dust, it can be rinsed under a tap and then given 12 hours to dry.
Performance
- Heats quickly
- Powerful air flow
- Quiet at lower speeds
I tested the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK in both its cooling and heating modes. In cool mode, I used an anemometer to measure wind speed and a decibel meter to measure sound.
On its slowest fan speed, I measured the airflow at 1.2m/s at 15cm. I couldn’t get a reading at 1m, although I could feel a gentle breeze. Sound was a gentle 38.5dB. I could hear a gentle hum but the fan’s not much louder than the background noise of the room.
On the middle setting, I got fan speeds of 2.4m/s at 15cm, dropping to a still-decent 1.1m/s at 1m. Sound was still only 42.9dB, with the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK relatively quiet.
On speed 10, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK jumped to a speedy 3.7m/s at 15cm and 1.9m/s at 1m, which is a strong gust. At 54.5dB the fan is clearly audible but I could mostly hear the sound of the air whooshing through the blades, rather than the motor noise.
Use BreezeBoost and the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK pushes air flow to 5m/s at 15cm and 2.3m/s at 1m. This mode was considerably noiser at 61.2dB.
While other fans, such as the Princess Smart Tower Fan, can output faster air, the advantage with the TurboBlade Cool + Heat is that you get a wider (or taller) column of air and there’s less of a ‘sweet spot’ than with most fans.
On heating mode, I found that the fan took 4m 23s to raise my garden office from a chilly 15°C to 18°C, on a relatively mild day.
I measured the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK at just under 2000W when on full heating mode, which is around 53p per hour at the current price cap of 26p per kWh. However, as there’s a thermostat built-in, the heater powers down when not needed to save money.
How cold it is, how large your room is, the target temperature you set, and how much insulation you have all have a part to play in total running costs.
Should you buy it?
Buy if you want flexible cooling and powerful heating
With adjustable fan blades, you can get air moving in the direction you want, while the fan heater is very powerful.
Don’t buy if you want smart controls
If you want a heater that you can remotely control and automate, you’ll need to look for a smart model.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve got a room that needs a bit of a heat boost in the colder months and cooling in summer, such as a garden room or conservatory, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat TH200UK is a brilliant all-rounder.
It’s powerful, adjustable fan lets you get air where you want it with more flexibility than any other fan (bar Shark’s cool-only model), while its powerful heating mode quickly warms a room and shuts down at the right temperature.
There are a few little niggles: you can’t change between cool and heating mode using the remote, there’s no smart app, and the lights can be turned off. My guide to the best fans and the guide to the best electric heaters have some alternatives.

- We measure the heat output of the fan and its effect on our test lab.
FAQs
No, this model isn’t height-adjustable, but the cool-only version is.
You have to use the physical switch on top to change modes.
