Push the three little lines on the remote to get turbo.

[@iDrkTV]

This was a good review! I have a Dreo fan, myself! No issues, yet. Runs all day, everyday! ✊

[@lampclay14]

To many moving parts

[@garolstipock]

Took a leap of faith and picked this up to replace a vornado that finally gave up the ghost. Just like you, I was looking for a replacement vornado but saw this and thought I'd give it a shot. $118 deal right now on Amazon. And.. Thanks to your insight, it turns out I am eligible to file a warranty claim with Vornado with my dead unit.. I never thought about it until I watched this vid, thus the Dreo replacement.

[@beardedreviews]

When vornado first came out with the new line of fans, they gave some of them a lifetime warranty. People to this day over 20 years later have them and get them replaced. Awesome warranty plan!

[@majorgear1021]

I’m thinking of getting this fan for my home office. How quiet is it ? Does it have a good range of speed settings? My current fan only has 4 speeds and even the lowest is too high(noisy) for me.

[@garolstipock]

@@majorgear1021 Yes, its quiet enough so that I never think about it. Mine also is in a my home office, approx a 10x12 room, modest/smallish I suppose, but its upstairs in a house where that 2nd floor behaves almost attic-like. It gets hot in the summer and my air-con needs a hand to move that cool air about to keep the space comfortable. Mine is usually on either setting 3 or 4 on the 'natural air' setting where it tries to emulate the ebbs and flows of how a natural breeze is like in nature, so varying speeds. It's pretty nice . You start hearing the fan sound become prominent at 6 and above

[@SSModi852]

You did the best marketing pitch, feet to hand, feet to hand. I am sold.

[@RedrumJohnny84]

I'm looking to get a new fan and came across this video. Thanks for the info. Great vid.

[@RollinFatJs]

Click the left column middle row button twice for turbo. When you click it once I believe that’s auto. I just got it today and I’m still figuring it out

[@note2irfan]

Thanks for that tip

[@MrOffroadjunkie]

I have this Dreo fan and it works great, pushes out a ton of air for a smaller fan and has a lot of features. The only very small issue i could find is the 2 second delay when your using the remote other than that its the best fan I've ever owned. Definitely recommend

[@beardedreviews]

yea there's definitely a small delay when using the app and remote, but definitely overshadowed by how well the fan looks and works

[@majorgear1021]

How noisy is it?

[@MrOffroadjunkie]

@majorgear1021 very quiet even on a higher setting

[@tmc1473]

Nice. Thanks for making me sleep better tonight. I will hopefully wake and see the fan delivered am.

[@peacemakerle]

The best fan I owned so far. In difference to those of nearly all other companies, this one is really quite. And it stays quite, even after months of use.

[@4achoudhury]

The desk fan that Dreo sell and the one that the guy in the video you were referring to used is more powerful than the pedestal version of the fan that you’re showcasing. The guy in fact video did mention that the Dreo pedestal fan does not blow air as hard as their desk fan and would be about the same as the Vornado. Still they both seem like pretty stylish fans!

[@bid712]

The burp at 5:57😂😂

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I love the height and smart features of the Dreo but I like that the Vornado is made in the states and, more importantly, has a 10 year warranty. Dreo has only one year, which, with all the fancy features, doesn’t seem like enough. I have both coming in to battle it out and see which one gets to keep my sweaty body cool at night.

[@TheHonestCatholic]

gotta tell me the results

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

@@TheHonestCatholic they’re here and I’m conflicted. I got a USA made Vornado, and this Dreo. Both move surprising amounts of air. The Vornado wins by a small margin. It’s a little louder but the Vornado can move houseplants from across the living room so it’s got some power. It has a small noise because of the motor but it’s very quiet. The Dreo is plenty powerful and even more quiet than the Vornado which is quiet itself. You really only hear the air from the Dreo, even at high speeds. The Vornado wins in the build quality section, the plastics and the stand are substantial. The Dreo just feels like your average Lasko plastic. Fine but could have been sturdier. Doesn’t feel like it’s gonna break easily, but if it takes a tumble then it might be bad. The smart features on the Dreo are crazy. All the angles and settings and Alexa integration are top notch. The Vornado has a single, continuously variable knob. The knob is slick though and I love having total control of speed. I think it’s gonna boil down to 10 year vs 1 year warranty. The cheap plastic-ness of the Dreo makes me feel like that one year warranty isn’t enough.

[@majorgear1021]

which model Vornado? they have a pretty big product lineup. You sold me on vornado, though!

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

@@majorgear1021 I got the 723DC Vornado. Solid piece. Still works great. My only gripe is Vornado halved their warranty time on the site. Only 5 years now. I’m glad there’s still a warranty, but that was disappointing and you have to be careful which ones you order. Some still have a 10 year, but they’ve started moving to 5. Hopefully that changes back to a good warranty. I can’t see this breaking any time soon though. My 723 has the 10 year warranty on the box so I’m assuming they’ll honor it.

[@majorgear1021]

@@DenyTheZeitgeist thank you for the info!

[@dwest84]

I've found that Dreo fans sometimes have some odd or even nonsensical design choices that kind of keep them from being perfect, but they are otherwise phenomenal fans. I love them. Mostly.

[@GenX_US_Marine]

Dreo and Vornado fans are excellent fans. I lean toward the Vornado because I think it's a little more powerful. I upgraded to a Vornado from a Lasko pedestal fan which was complete garbage.

[@beardedreviews]

Yea vornado fans are built just a little bit better than most consumer grade fans!

[@GenX_US_Marine]

@@beardedreviews I bought 2 Vornado fans. The pedestal one and the 10 inch desk fan. I put them in each corner of my room. Even on setting 1 the lowest fan speed I can still feel the air flow.

[@macsigo]

tyvm is exactly what I was wondering

[@beardedreviews]

well hey, I'm glad I could help!

[@dutchyjhome]

Very nice fan ! Does it come in 230v as well (for Europe)?

[@malibustacy3606]

So clarify something for me, why would you want this fan (or any other fan for that matter) oscillating in the first place, as opposed to just moving the air where you happen to be?

[@beardedreviews]

to move the air around a room. lowers the temperature that you feel when you walk into a room. Without air movement, heat will rise and cold will settle, so at the level of your torso, it is hotter than at your feet

[@malibustacy3606]

@@beardedreviews If you're fan/air circulator is moving a sufficient amount of air, even if it's pointed directly at you, it will still function as an air circulator, the presence of a single human being is not going to remove it's air circulating abilities, reduce them a little maybe, but not remove them.

[@beardedreviews]

@@malibustacy3606 Well that would depend on the size of the room and the height of the ceilings. If you put a box fan on the floor in a 20x20 living room with 15foot ceilings, it is not going to circulate the air. Air circulators have narrower beams of air and in the case of the dreo it moves up, down, left, right, to push air all over the room, not in just one small section

[@malibustacy3606]

@@beardedreviews A box fan would be a good choice of what NOT to get, and I would think any decent 12 inch and up air circulator would do a good job of moving air around your space regardless of where it as pointing, save for maybe the floor. I use 2 Xpower FC-250AD's and they do the job nicely.

[@beardedreviews]

@@malibustacy3606 yeah, exactly my point. You're using two of them. An oscillating fan covers many angles, and the fans you're using alot of people would not want in their living space, they look very industrial, where a vornado or dreo look nice in a room.

[@tuandang2947]

I got the shark breeze fan and love it

[@kennethdelgado4810]

How long is the power cord?

[@MoiseHill]

Can this fan be controlled only by off line voice control? As you speak to the fan: Open the fan, It will answer: the fan is opened master.

[@gordondalrymple7644]

Can you lock it it any position or does it keep oscillating?

[@beardedreviews]

yes you can lock it in any position

[@JeeSingh21]

This or the meaco pedestal?

[@Mr211200]

Cool fan but…..are those blackout curtains? I’m currently looking for blackout curtains

[@beardedreviews]

Yes they are. I got them at Menards

[@thegoddeessofevil]

Is it a headache to clean like the vornado?

[@beardedreviews]

I would assume, yes, with all the small little plastic blades on the face, it would be hard to get in there and clean

[@isaacsantana915]

Is it rechargable?

[@beardedreviews]

No it's plug-in only

[@jfresh2054]

This vs dyson fans?

[@beardedreviews]

I have a dyson fan and I'm a firm believer they are more style than function. They aren't going to blow anywhere near as hard as one of these fans in my experience

[@randiortiz8054]

Began making a clicking noise while oscilating after 3 month

[@beardedreviews]

mine hasn't started clicking yet. Could maybe be a defective unit

[@iiiEazyiii]

Video is perfect not a lot of info out there on comparing these two brands. While I appreciate the breakdown of the video you were referring too, it was two different motors. This is more fairly comparable. $200 DC Vornado (10yr warranty) or $114 DC Dreo (smart features) There’s really no in between 😂

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I saw that and I know a little bit about vornado fans. One of my neighbors is actually the guy who developed the new style vornado fans. I tried to keep the prices similair with the $140 dreo and the $150 vornado (with better warranty)

[@bigguymarc05]

it's a nice looking fan, however i use a CED pedestal fan from the year 2000 and it throws out more breeze. Plus i don't really like modern fans as they don't last very long

[@nazfenix]

Hurts seeing you being paid for a review !

[@beardedreviews]

Lol this was not a paid review, and if you knew the amount of paid reviews I turn down, you wouldn't feel hurt

[@gordondalrymple7644]

dreo Looks better than that black chunk of plastic virnado

[@chungkingcansuckit6345]

You pronounced it wrong.. Oreo is pronounced aw-ree-ow.. this is almost spelled the same it's pronounced draw-ree-ow.l
