The DREO 20dB Smart Silent Tower Fan is back in stock on Amazon, priced at £89.99, offering smart controls and Alexa voice commands to help UK households cope with the ongoing heatwave.
Features and Design
The fan features an all-in-one airflow system with a high-powered motor, delivering high-speed and brisk cooling. It is bladeless, reducing dust accumulation, making it suitable for allergy sufferers. It offers eight speeds, an eight-hour timer, and four modes: auto, natural, sleep, and normal. The fan stands at 36 inches tall and can be controlled via smartphone or Alexa voice commands.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
The fan holds a 4.6-star rating from over 12,000 reviews on Amazon. One purchaser said: "It has been an absolute godsend throughout the heatwave. I wouldn't say it's particularly quiet, especially when it's on the highest level, but I guess it depends on how sensitive you are to noise. I can sleep through it, no issue. Love the fact it has an option for night time, so it gradually reduces over the period of hours, so you don't wake up frozen! Looks good, easy to use and set up with Alexa also."
Another buyer commented: "It does its job and has served me VERY well. It is not heavy at all, and neither is it flimsy and easily breakable. It is just the right weight and sturdiness in relation to the price being charged. The airflow is cool. The speed settings are also fantastic; in fact, sometimes it is too much of an air blast, so it has to be put on a lower setting for a peaceful night's sleep! I highly recommend this product."
A further shopper remarked: "Really good quality fan! I was dubious about spending this much money on a fan, but it was definitely worth it! It's almost too powerful in my living room on its lowest setting. Haven't used the timer function yet; however, I use the sleep mode every evening, and it'll turn itself off. Connected it to my Alexa, and it works great that way as well."
Alternative Options
At Argos, most fans are out of stock, but the Air Pro 10in Desk Fan SmartVoice with Remote Control and 12h Timer is available at £64.99. On the Shark Ninja website, some colours of the Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Fan, Mist and InstaChill System are still available, priced at £129.99 each.
One customer awarded the DREO fan three stars citing noise levels, stating: "Fan looks good, easy to assemble and quite powerful and cooling, but it is not silent, so should not state this in the listing. We have decided to keep it as it's a great fan for most rooms, and it isn't the noisiest fan we've ever heard, but if you are looking for a silent fan for the bedroom, this is not it."
Another shopper noted: "Excellent fan with many useful features - good number of speeds with low speeds being remarkably quiet (slept soundly with it on), oscillation, night mode which turns 'beeps' and lights off, and a timer. It can be controlled by its own app over WiFi, and most functions are available on the remote control - the buttons on this are luminous, which is helpful."
Another review reads: "I bought this fan for the heatwave, and I wanted to get something good quality and worth buying, and I stumbled upon Dreo, and I've decided to get this fan, and it has exceeded my expectations for fans. The fact that I could control it wherever I am works amazingly, and giving me real-time temperature of the room with very accurate readings has made me happy that I found something actually worth the money."
