Dreo Smart Cell Fans

Amazing Fan. This is a third Dreo ceiling fan I purchased. One in every room now. Exceptional fan features like app fan control for light brightness and warmth + fan speeds + fan reverse spin option + Alexa voice control. For me there is no way back to conventional fans. This version of the fan has shorter blade! Which is a plus for my situation. Mine is sitting between bunk beds and kids are finally getting air movement! We called it a “head chopper” fan, but since the blades a shorter no issues so far! Kids are extremely happy with a name and decided to keep it! Fan quality is great material wise! Fan is silent as well! No whooshing sound like other fans, pure joy 🤩. Installation quicker than for a fan with longer blades, since everything is prebuilt. One thing though, final step: light panel assembly was a bit hard… You definitely need apply power to connect it to fan assembly properly! Hope over time it will continue working. My oldest unit is half a year and works and look like new one!

This thing is quiet. Unlike the fake “whisperwind” promises you won’t hear a hum from this thing, and it does not need grommets everywhere to suppress the worst of that irritating 60 Hz electric hum either. It just does not make a sound, unless you put it at it’s highest speed. Then what you hear is a soft whoosh of air moving fast. But trust me, at speed 6 you won’t be able to keep your napkins on the table. We keep the speed at 2 while the highest practical speed we’ll ever want is perhaps 3. The edges of the blades are more rounded/beveled than the standard fan blades. I believe this too helps with aerodynamics and sound production. This thing has everything a normal person wants without being pretentious. For starters it is actually really quiet. It has 6 nicely spaced fan speed settings going from unnoticeable slow stirring of warm air accumulated at the ceiling to a whirlwind moving the curtains. The light also has 6 equally nicely spaced brightness settings ranging from “I can still find my bed” to “good for woodworking”. The LED lamp also has several color temperature settings. Again these settings are useful, meaning they do not offer all the rainbow colors and effects you would find in an’80s disco. Instead they offer color temperatures that range from moody candle light to light therapy bright sunlight. Enough to be practical and useful for a sensible grown up. The fan comes with a remote that does what it is supposed to do: turn the fan and/or light on and off and change any settings. You don’t need to use the remote as you can also just keep on using the wall light switch. The fan remembers it’s settings and will turn on to what you had it set at when you turned it off. The only slight annoyance might be that it takes 2-3 seconds for the light to come on after turning the light switch on. When using the remote there is no delay. The logical place to put that remote is on the night stand. That way you can make it to your bed safely and you don’t need to reach far to turn that last light off. This is such a little benefit that I only later on realized came with these new “fancy” remote controlled fans. Supposedly the fan can also be connected via Wifi. I have not done that. I like things to be simple and I don’t think I need to operate the fan at home while traveling the world. There are some timer choices too that I have not felt the need to play with yet either. That might change though. A thought: that big 12 inch wide circle of light on the ceiling seems a bit boring. I’m thinking about drawing some veins on it making it look like marble or something. Others might like the minimalist look. I understand. A tip to install it: This thing is heavy and unlike conventional fans it does not have some handy system where you can hang the heavy parts on the ceiling while making the electrical connections. If you are going to use wire nuts and/or have the fan blades mounted before putting it up it is going to be a 2 man job. If you use those “Wago” snap on electrical connectors while putting the fan blades on after it is on the ceiling you can do it all by yourself using only a Phillips screwdriver and a little step ladder. Installing this fan is less work than installing a conventional fan. It’s just different.

This Dreo ceiling fan is a standout in both design and performance. The white finish and subtle color tones give it a clean, modern look that blends beautifully with any room decor. Installation was straightforward and once mounted (quite easily I might add), it sits flush and low-profile—perfect for bedrooms. What I appreciated were the 12 fan speeds and 3 modes, along with the graduated dimmable lighting. You can fine-tune the airflow and brightness to exactly what you need, whether it’s a gentle breeze or a stronger push of air. And speaking of airflow, this fan is virtually silent but still manages to move a significant amount of air—enough that we rely on it through hot Florida nights instead of running the AC. I loved it so much I bought a second one right away. When I went back for a third and fourth, they were unfortunately out of stock, and I had to settle for a near-match from another brand for the other bedrooms. After about 8 months, I did notice one issue with the remote on our master bedroom fan—it became overly sensitive, registering touches and beeping even when just lifting it off the shelf. I had to factory reset the fan (using different instructions online) twice over 11 months because the speed seemed stuck on medium nor would it reverse (anticlockwise) for winter months, but this only affected one unit. The other in guest bedroom has worked flawlessly. Despite that minor hiccup, I still absolutely love this fan. It’s a perfect cooling solution for quiet, comfortable sleep, and the smart features make it a joy to appreciate. Trust me, if it's not turned on, you'll appreciate when it is!

This fan is great. Super easy to install. Incredibly quiet and a lot of air. The only design detail is the screws are exposed …there is actually a recessed area on the fan where the screws are and it would be super easy to cover it with a design detail. I thought there was a piece missing so I’ll just come up with something that doesn’t look tacky. The app detected both fans as soon as I created an account and it was incredibly easy to set up as well. Also I bought two fans and one of them seemed to have trouble when i changed speeds…it seemed to get stuck, do a quarter turn and another quarter turn a few times before it settled in. It may have been a one off but I’ll keep an eye on it. Thats the only reason I didn’t give it five stars but the the other fan has been fine and the fan itself is impressive.

I normally don’t pay much attention to the ceiling fan over my head to be honest. However, we recently upgraded the fans in our house and I decided to give this one a try for our first room. Long story short (“yada yada yada”), we now have Dreos up in all of our rooms! It was easy to install. (As a matter of fact, I am a 50yr old woman and it freaked my father-in-law out that I took on the installation by myself, but it was so easy to follow along with the video online that it made me look smart and gave me some serious dad-in-law cred.). It is noticeably sleek in appearance, mounts flush to the ceiling, has various light temps so that you can make it match other lamps/lighting in the room, is super quiet, and generates quite a bit of air considering the size. The app is easy to use. We have a couple that have WiFi and link to the easy to use app and one that does not. Honestly, the WiFi/app is more of a luxury as we tend to just use the remote. I was concerned that the top of the mount is just white plastic, but it actually looks better once installed than I was expecting. The only minor irritation is that there seems to be a 1-2 second delay from the time I flip the wall switch until it turns on. But it also remembers my last setting, so this is not a deal breaker for me.
