Dreo Tower Fan for Bedroom, 90° Oscillating Standing Fan with 40ft Far Airflow, 25dB Ultra Quiet DC Motor, 28ft/s Velocity, 12 Speeds, 42 inch, Smart Control, 4 Modes, 12H Timer, Pilot Pro S

Was in the market for a new tower fan and wanted something a bit quieter but with good flow rate. People swear by Honeywell but my QuietSet has been a piece of trash and tips over if you even look at it wrong. I inherited my Lasko from a roommate and it's a great fan that can really take a beating. Looked at several brands (Dyson TP07, etc. included) and was told the best to look for is something with a DC motor. Dreo is one of few manufacturers (at least on Amazon) that makes a DC-motor tower fan.I primarily use tower fans for sleep but also in my living room if I get warm on the couch. I like the consistent air flow they provide and I generally find them better for cooling my bed and sheets. I also wanted something that you could completely turn the display lights off while sleeping. Some manufacturers have a sleep mode that dims the light but that mode also gradually turns the fan speed down and turns off. Noise isn't a biggie but I wanted something reasonably quieter than my jet-engine Honeywell because I was waking up with literal ear pain from the ruckus.Was deciding between the Dreo Pilot Pro and Pilot Max. I wanted the smart version of the Pilot Max for the Alexa integration but it's not sold on Amazon (only the non-smart version) and is sold out on the Dreo website. Couldn't see the advantage of paying an extra $30 for the Pilot Max over the Pilot Pro so I bought that instead. It's a DC-motor tower fan, 42" height, and good reviews but doesn't seem to have a dimming light button/setting. I thought I'd give it a try anyways and just tape over the display if needed.Setup was very easy. You just snap two pieces together to form the base and you twist it at the base of the tower column and that's it. Plugged the power supply in and turned it on.WOW. At fan speed #5, this thing blows my Honeywell out of the water. Not even close. It even beats my Lasko at delivering a more consistent column of air. Don't expect this thing to be whisper quiet at #5+ but it is a nice improvement over Honeywell QuietSet. Under #5 though this really is very quiet. The remote is very nice as well as it has discrete +/- buttons for fan speeds so you don't have to cycle through each speed until you find the right one.But I was dreading going to sleep that night only to be disappointed by the blinding display... after a few minutes of enjoying the air, I looked up and the lights automatically turn off!!! You don't even have to worry about turning the dumb display lights off! Dreo should update this in the product title/description because I think more people would buy this if they knew the lights auto-dim.So if you want something quiet, especially for your bedroom and sleep time, that dims the light *automatically*, with high flow rate, this is the fan for you. I will be buying a second one for my living room (hopefully the smart Pilot Max) and keeping my Lasko for a backup (it will probably outlive me).TL;DR: Look no further, this fan is a great price and works flawlessly (lights auto-dim completely).

Simple to setup & use. Had it going in less than 5 minutes. 12 different speeds to adjust the airflow. Comes with a simple remote control. I like that you can mute the sounds when changing speeds. Can use it to oscillate to cool down entire room or set it to cool off one particular spot.

After reading many Dreo fan reviews and watching review videos, I opted for the Dreo Pilot Pro S. So happy with this fan! First, it's tall but has a manageable footprint. I've been able to place it in multiple locations around my small apartment without feeling like I have a giant piece of equipment in the way. Like others have mentioned, it feels a bit wobbly on its stand but is stable in operation. Secondly, it is quiet and dimmable--these were key features in my search. Not only is the fan itself quiet (at top speed it is still undisruptive), but there is the ability to mute the function buttons. Power and air flow are great. My last Honeywell Tower Fan had a high top speed but never felt like the air actually moved far enough. I can place this fan in the hallway outside my open bedroom door and feel the air flow while I'm in bed, even at upper low speed range. The smart app is great--I actually prefer using this on my phone rather than the controls on top, which require scrolling through the settings. It's easy but just extra clicks. The app shows all functions with easy toggle or slider bars. This is my second Dreo fan--I have one of the 13" desk fans, as well as Dreo space heater. Great products.

This is the second time we have purchased this fan, with the first one in 2023. The newer one is an improvement in several ways:First, no more separate AC adapter brick. The power supply is now integrated into the fan itself. This did strike me a bit odd with the previous version of the fan, as it was definitely big enough to house the transformer inside of it.Second, the fan speed now goes up to 12 versus 9 on the previous version. This fan can move a LOT of air and, like the previous version, is near dead silent on the lower speeds.Third, the oscillation feature has been further improved and now makes no noise. The older model probably used a synchronous motor for the rotation mechanism, which always had a hum to it. This newer version of the fan is dead silent even when oscillating, which is great for peaceful sleep. I don't know what black magic DREO pulled to fix this, but this is the biggest improvement they made.The bad:If you use the app to control some of the fan functions like I do, both the older and newer version of the fan are off on their temperature calibration by about 7° f. this is adjustable in the app, but it's odd that they haven't fixed this issue in the newer version.The scheduling feature is also available only in the app. If cloud connectivity ever goes down for this product, you will lose that feature. But it's not required for the fan to work. It does include a remote that gives you control of the majority of the functions, so it can be used as a normal fan completely offline if you wish.
