DreoTower Fan for Bedroom, 25ft/s Velocity Quiet Floor Fan, 90° Oscillating Fans for Indoors with 4 Speeds, 4 Modes, 8H Timer, Standing Fans, Bladeless Fan, Black, Nomad One (DR-HTF007)

I bought this for a bedroom that’s far from the central AC main unit causing less air to reach that room and it really helps keep the space cool. The airflow is strong, the multiple speed and mode settings are great for comfort, and the remote is a nice bonus. It’s quiet, easy to use, and does exactly what I needed. Planning to buy a second one for another room soon (waiting on a sale!).

Dreo vs Lasko Tower Fans--Which Should You Buy?Summer is coming, and everyone could use a little more cooling on hot summer days. Gone are the days of box fans or awkward top heavy circular oscillating fans. Today, when people need a little extra air flow, they go for a tower fan with a remote.As you might expect, there is a dizzying array of choices available. In this article, we’ll compare the Lasko 2511 with a new option on the market, the Dreo. 36” tower fan. Both of these fans offer a quality experience, but which should you buy?Air FlowAs you would expect, fan speed, or more specifically, the wind speed of the air leaving the fan, is probably the most important consideration when selecting one. You want something that will move air! Both the Lasko and Dreo tower fans offer multiple speeds to customize your cooling comfort.The Lasko has three speeds, the lowest bing really gentle, with the highest being significant enough to be felt 8 feet away. The Dreo, on the other hand, has four speeds available. 1, 2, and 3 are pretty comparable to the feel of the Lasko. However, speed 4 is noticeably more powerful than what the Lasko offers.It’s also worth mentioning that the Lasko oscillates over a 45° spread, while the Dreo has a 90° oscillation. So overall, the Dreo is going to move air over a larger area, but ultimately it seems like this difference is going to come down to a matter of preference.NoiseThe noise level of both fans is pretty comparable, with the Dreo being noticeably quieter at lower speeds. From three feet away, at speed 1, the Dreo registers at a whisper quiet 34 dB, while the Lasko is 44 dB. You have to get the Dreo up to speed 3 to hit 44 dB, and at that speed, the Lasko only goes up to 47 dB. Basically ,the Lasko doesn’t add much more noise at the different speeds.The Dreo does have that extra speed 4 that cranks up the noise a bit with the wind speed. At speed 4, the Dreo runs at 48 dB.The Dreo has an extra feature that Lasko is lacking. You can mute the button sounds. This is handy if you want to make adjustments without interrupting the quiet.DesignThe design of these two fans is similar, but also so markedly different that it’s hard not to remark on it.Lasko, as with many of their products, has opted for a functional, utilitarian design that gets the job done. It doesn’t look particularly bad, but it’s not great either. The light indicators let you know what your settings are, but they're just dots of lights next to numbers. In the case of the sleep timer, they even require you to do math to know what the timer is set on. And the numbers you’re looking at are printed on the fan, not backlit. So you’re going to have to turn on the light to check your settings if you’re in a dark room.The Dreo, on the other hand, looks like a work of modern art, with its all black design, and the big LED screen. You won’t have any problem knowing what speed the fan is set to or what the sleep timer is set on. No moving closer to inspect tiny numbers printed on the casing.The design differences carry through to the remotes. The Lasko remote is functional, if unsightly, while the Dreo is beautiful and sleek (and the Dreo remote also comes with a battery; the Lasko doesn’t).Ease of UseTo be honest, any fan is pretty dead simple to use, but some are easier than others.In the case of these two, the Lasko comes with fairly simple instructions: push the power button to turn on, adjust the speed, etc.The Dreo has similarly simple instructions, but also has some additional options (mute, auto mode, natural mode, etc.).Also, the Dreo instructions are delivered in a much more appealing and professionally polished package, which I can’t ignore. Providing an instruction booklet like this sends a message to your customers that you take their experience seriously.One feature of the Dreo that isn’t included in the instructions is the easy to remove and clean back panel. If you’ve ever run a fan for any amount of time, you know that you’ll be dealing with dust buildup. With the one screw panel removal, the Dreo makes that much simpler. The back panel on the Lasko looks like you’ll have to remove six screws, but I’m not sure if it’s really designed to remove and clean.ConclusionChoosing from a wide selection of very similar products can be daunting at the best of times. For something like a tower fan, there’s really just not that much to the hardware to differentiate one from the other, but Dreo does manage to bring a more compelling product to the market. With quieter operation, a large and bright LED display, more features, a more appealing design, and a better user experience, the Dreo 36” tower fan really does offer a better product than the Lasko 2511. And you’ll pay $10 more for that difference, as the Lasko only costs 59.99, while the Dreo retails for 69.99. Whether or not the upgrades are worth the extra expense is really up to you, but for a product that will last for years to come, my money is on Dreo.

The media could not be loaded. Complete review:1. Assembly and Structure - 5starsThe fan is very easy to assemble no tools required, just snap the two base pieces and then snap the tower on the base. The power cord in 60inches(5feet) long. Comes with nice small remote that operates with CR2025 3V battery(included). Easy to carry handle provided at the back top. And also below the handle there is holder for the remote. Touch panel allows to change options on the fan directly with out the remote and the dislay turnsoff after 30seconds automatically.2. Noise - 4starsThis fan is promoted as quieter fan and see lot of reviews even suggesting the same. But i dont agree to that comparing it to my previous tower fan, i feel the noise level is almost the same at high speed. But the noise really wont disturb your sleep unless your very sensitive to noise. Just place the tower fan on the other side of the bed or TV so that noise doesnt disturb.If placing on carpet ensure the base is almost flat, generally tower fans if they are slanted can make noise over the long run.3. Performance and consumption - 5starsAt max speed(4) it really blows plenty of air which you can feel upto 12-14feet, so it might be good for large rooms too.At max speed(4) it probably consumes 42W and it will be little lower at lesser speeds. Use the timer function to turn off automatically that surely saves money.4. Features: 5starsRemembers all the settings except timer when turned off.i) Timer - This is a must have feature commonly found on these tower fans. Can set timer from 1hour to 8hours. Generally i set at night before sleep so that it automatically turns off in the morning. This really helps in saving costs, because some day we can always forget to turnoff due to other distractions.ii) Speeds - there are 4 speed levels(1-4).iii) Rotation - It does make a perfect 90 degree rotation and the movement is smooth and silent.iv) Modes - There are 4 modes. but really sleep & normal modes are generally used.a. Normal - Probably most used mode. Fan runs at constant speed.b. Sleep - Fan speed decreases every 30min and max reduces two speed levels.For level 4: 4 -> 3 -> 2For level 3: 3 -> 2 -> 1For level 2: 2 -> 1 (reduces only one level)For Level 1: 1(no change)Its a nice power saving feature but i felt instead of 30min should have been every 2hours.c. Auto - Its says the fan adapts to the ambient temperature but not sure how its possible in this model since it doesnt have any temperature reader. Some models have temperature reader which may be possible in thosed. Natural - Says fan runs in alternating speeds but really not sure on what basis.v) Remote Volume - A beep sound will be heard on changing optionsvia the touch panel or the remote. We can turnon/off this beep sound.5. Safety - 5starsThe gap in the grills are very small on all the sides and the rotating wheel is an inch inside, so i feel it should be safe with kids and pets around.The power plug has an inbuild fuse which would protect the fan from against any overload or short-circuit.6. Cleaning - 5starsI believe this is the only tower fan that has the option to open the rear grill and the rotor wheel, so that we can wash it. Previous tower fan i used to use the vaccuum with less success. This is one of the best feature.7. Warranty - 5starsComes with a default 1year warranty and it can be extended to 5 years if we register in dreo website. Details specified in the user manual.

The only way to improve this product is if there were a way to alter the oscillation. For example, to make the start and stop point specific instead of its wide setting or stationary modes. Otherwise, this is a terrific product! It notes that it is NOT AN AIR CONDITIONER. It blows quietly and effectively. I have it on a small stand due to the height of my bed and it keeps me and the pups cool all night! The remote is a nice touch so you can alter it without getting up and even turn it down or change it from moving to stationary. Great price and Product!
