Shoppers are snapping up the Dreo 20dB Silent Standing Fan on Amazon during the UK heatwave, with many reviewers comparing its quality and performance to Dyson models that cost £270 more. The fan, priced at £79.99, has garnered over 6,000 reviews and more than 500 units were purchased in the past month alone.
Quiet Operation and Design
The 20dB Silent Standing Fan features a bionic blade design that circulates air smoothly at 20dB, guaranteeing 'quieter than a whisper' sound levels. It also has eight speeds and an auto mode that modifies fan speeds. Users can silence the beeps, making this fan ideal for bedtime. The detachable design allows for easy cleaning by removing the blade, front grille, and rear grille individually.
Features and Timer
The fan includes an eight-hour timer and three speed settings, along with three aroma pads. It is available on Amazon for £79.99.
One customer described it as 'amazing', adding: 'Saving me right now in the UK heatwave - better than my Dyson.' Another satisfied shopper said: 'Incredible fan. Easy to assemble, powerful, very quiet. We've got a Dyson fan, which was four times the price and isn't half as good. Would highly recommend, a bargain.'
Comparisons with Competitors
A further buyer drew comparisons with fans from both Shark and Dyson, writing: 'I rarely write product reviews, but had to for this fan. Brilliant performance, even compared to the more expensive competitors, i.e., Shark, Dyson, etc. With this heatwave in the UK, I was considering an air con unit, but so far this fan has kept us comfortable in bed and made it bearable to work in the office in the day.'
However, not every review is entirely positive. One customer highlighted a drawback: 'The fan itself is fairly quiet, but the oscillating mechanism makes an awful noise as the fan spins on its axis.'
Alternative Options
Shoppers with a larger budget for a Dyson can purchase the Dyson Cool AM07 tower fan on the brand's website for £349.99. It offers ten airflow settings and a bladeless design to reduce dust accumulation. Shark fans are another option; the retailer recently launched the FlexBreeze HydroGo Cordless Fan, priced at £130, which releases a cooling mist and features five speed settings and a compact handle for portability.
A fourth reviewer was considerably more enthusiastic overall, stating: 'Great fan, really cools the room down. super quiet and easy to move around. The buttons on the remote glow in the dark, which is handy for evenings.' A final shopper said: 'Looks great and super sturdy. deffo worth the price, will likely purchase another for a different room. Great in the stuffy UK heat.' Another concluded: 'Best fan we've ever had! Needless to say, as you turn up the power, it gets louder, but at the lowest setting, you can't hear it. Much better than a Dyson.'
