Shoppers are snapping up the Dreo 20dB Silent Standing Fan from Amazon, with many comparing it favorably to the much pricier Dyson fan. Priced at £79.99, the fan has garnered over 6,000 reviews, with more than 500 units bought in the past month alone.
Quiet and Powerful Design
The Dreo fan features a bionic blade design that moves air smoothly at just 20dB, promising noise levels quieter than a whisper. It circulates air up to 27 meters away, making it effective for cooling down rooms. Users can also mute the beep sounds with a one-touch button on the remote, making it ideal for bedtime use.
The fan offers eight speeds and an auto mode that adjusts fan speeds automatically. It has a detachable design, allowing users to remove the blade, front grille, and rear grille separately for easy cleaning. The fan also includes a timer that can be set for up to eight hours, three speed settings, and three aroma pads.
Shopper Reviews Favor Dreo Over Dyson
One user described the fan as 'amazing,' adding: 'Saving me right now in the UK heatwave - better than my Dyson.' Another pleased 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!'
A third reviewer compared it to fans from Shark and Dyson, commenting: '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.'
Minor Criticisms and Overall Satisfaction
Not all reviews are glowing. One person pointed out a flaw: 'The fan itself is fairly quiet, but the oscillating mechanism makes an awful noise as the fan spins on its axis.' However, another user was more pleased overall, saying: '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. Looks great and super sturdy. Definitely worth the price, will likely purchase another for a different room. Great in the stuffy UK heat!'
Someone else 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.'
Alternative Options
Shoppers with a bigger budget can consider the Dyson Cool AM07 tower fan, priced at £349.99 on the brand’s website, which offers ten airflow settings and a bladeless design. Another alternative is the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Cordless Fan, priced at £130, which blasts a cooling mist and has five speed settings.
