After 2 years of development we launched Radfan at the start of March and had to replace the first 30 for a fault we just didn't see coming and that we would only have ever discovered post launched.

We had spent months trying to iron out the obvious issues but it is impossible to reach perfection as you just can't see all of the possible problems.

Simon I agree.

However, imagine having launched Radfan March 2012 in a beta stage, inviting people to test the product at a reduced rate of purchase and report faults for you which only users would have picked up?

It would have enabled you to launch Radfan fully to the public without serious problems and would have made it possible for you to focus more resources on the marketing than to sit back for the first month and fix problems that arose.

Radfan looks like an awesome product for preventing hot air from escaping and actually going in the direction that you need it to. Good luck mate.
