Dreo Tower Fan for Bedroom. 25ft/s Velocity 28dB Quiet Floor Fan. 90?? Oscillating Fans for Indoors with 4 Speeds. 4 Modes. 8H Timer. Bladeless Standing Fan. Black. Nomad One (DR-HTF007)

One of the best floor fans I have bought. It's perfect for my bedroom! It's quite and keeps the room nice and cool. Just what I need for those southern summers! Will definitely purchase another.

I can’t believe how quiet and powerful it is. I only have to keep it on speed one or two extremely powerful. I am encouraging my family members to replace the fans they are currently using and purchase a Dreo fan.

I apparently have the horrible luck in every house I live in to pick the room that is an icebox in winter and hot as balls in the summer. After adding a lovely heater of a gaming pc to my room over the winter, it has turned into a game of steal our old basic fan back and forth with my son, I finally just said to heck with it and finally upgrade (which I planned to do just had to find the right one and budget the finances for a splurge cause I didnt want to cop out on a cheepo)

I put this together in like 2 flipping seconds! It was so slick! Then it was super easy and lightweight to haul up our stairs, which was like a vacation after the work I just did re-arranging my room to promote better airflow (with like no coffee mind you...I was desperate when I woke up)

Then I plugged it in turned it on and was just blasted with the most refreshing cool air I about cried. It did start it on the highest setting but even the level 1 setting was 10x better then what I had before. And bonus! It was taller then I expected!

I am pretty sure I ordered the shorter option with a lot of apprehension since it was the only sacrifice I would consider making for a bit of a penny saver. Well I am okay that I pinched that penny because I would have really lost my mind with an even bigger one cause at that point thats just luxury life there (so maybe a future splurge haha when my son inevitably tries to steal this one me cause I just know he is going to try)

Amazing Fan, very cold. This fan is so cold I have to turn it down and cannot have it blowing right on me! Which is such a great problem to have. Definitely worth every penny.

PROS:
Very light fan that produce good airflow.
Size and build quality is good.

CONS:
Turning speed is a bit slow.
Touchscreen is hard to see at night mode, but that's the purpose of night mode, it would be nice to have actual buttons.

This is fan is perfect if you need some extra cooling off while sleeping! The fan is easy to install! It even comes with a remote to put at easy reach and don’t have to get up each time to adjust. The fan rotates and also has different intensity settings!

When I say that I JUST got this fan, I literally plugged it in about a half hour ago and my thermostat went from 73 to 71 in a matter of minutes! It’s like having another air conditioning unit in the living room. I live upstairs and it can get pretty hot in my apartment but this thing blows cold air. Not moving warm around but it blows cold air out. This is the best money I have spent in awhile and now I’m kicking myself for not buying it sooner!

My review in short:
Great fan when used supplementally. I bought this to "help" with keeping parts of my apartment cool during the summer months. This has definitely come in handy.

Disclaimer:
To be clear though, this is NOT an Air Conditioner, so it doesn't blow "Cold" air. It's just a fan and fans don't actually cool anything, it just moves around air. This moving air replaces the hot, still air around you so it makes you feel cooler.  To get the most out of this fan during the summer, keep blinds closed during the day to block out the sun, and if possible, open windows that are facing the shade and point this fan towards the window to push hot air out and another fan facing inside to push cooler air in to create cross flow ventilation.

Air flow:
There are four different levels of air flow you can choose from with level 4 being the strongest setting. At level 4 it blows very well and you can feel it from a distance of about 20ft-30ft.

Design:
It sits about 36in. tall and about 5.5in wide, so it's quite slim despite it packing a punch. 

Settings:
You have quite a few settings you can choose from which come in handy.
- Timer: If you desire, you have the option of setting this fan up to automatically turn off after a certain period of time. However, the timer function can only be set in hours from 1hr-8hrs.
- Direction of air flow: You can set the air flow to either blow in one direction only or constantly moving between a 90 degree angle.
- Air Flow: You have 4 different levels of fan power with level 4 being the strongest.
- Sound: It makes a beep every time you press a button or you can mute the beeping sound.
- Modes: You have 4 different mode settings. "Auto Mode" which fan speed adapts to the ambient temperature. "Normal Mode" where the fan runs at a constant speed. "Natural Mode" Where the fan runs at alternating speeds. And finally, "Sleep Mode" where the beeping of the buttons are automatically muted and the fan speed decreases every 30mins but will only decrease by two levels at most and will remain constant if at level 1. 

LED Lights:
While these lights can definitely be bright at night in a dark room, what's great about this fan is that after pressing a button the LED lights will turn off after about 1min or so. 

Ich Vergleiche bewusst mit dem dreo 120+120 ventilator. Habe beide Geräte gekauft.

- Optik und Haptik ist super
- Leistung ist bei beiden Geräten mehr als ausreichend
- der 120+120 lässt sich viel feiner einstellen
- der turm Ventilator läuft 90grad oder man stoppt ihn auf einer Position. Für einen normalen Raum reicht der Turm Ventilator vollkommen aus
- jetzt kommt das aber hinsichtlich schlafzimmer: Der turm ventilator ist bereits auf Stufe 1 relativ stark wodurch der Wind schon deutlich spürbar ist außer man hat ein 30m2 Schlafzimmer. Das ist bei dem 120+120 viel angenehmer. Er ist nicht wirklich laut aber der 120+120 ist wirklich nicht hörbar und er ist viel angenehmer durch die 8 Stufen. Also im Schlafzimmer werde ich den turm Ventilator so nicht nutzen können. Aber für alle sonstigen Räume ist er megagut.
- der Zusammenbau ist wesentlich leichter als der des 120+120
- ansonsten sind die Funktionen wie zb der timer gleich und auch wirklich sehr brauchbar weil zb die Geräte wirklich so leise sind, dass man sie beim verlassen der Wohnung sehr schnell vergisst auszuschalten.

Alles in allem sind die Geräte der mir bisher unbekannten Firma extrem gut und bringen einen erheblichen Mehrwert gerade in den heißen Tagen. Beide Geräte sind mehr als empfehlenswert aber für das feintuning oder gerade für das Schlafzimmer ist der 120+120 eindeutig die bessere Wahl. Wobei man sich da fragen sollte, ob man überhaupt so ein starkes Gerät für ein Schlafzimmer braucht, von dem man dann nur ca. 5% Leistung abruft.

Nachtrag: das Gerät ist wirklich megagut aber fürs Schlafzimmer ist er für uns nicht zu gebrauchen. Auch meine Frau hat bestätigt, dass er auf Stufe 1 zu laut ist obwohl sie im Gegensatz zu mir kein empfindlicher Schläfer ist. Also wer einen fürs Schlafzimmer sucht unbedingt den 120+120 nehmen. Den hört man wirklich nicht.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:
This fan is fantastic. It’s powerful but relatively quiet and does a good job at cooling a room. The way it blows air feels like a natural breeze, not a typical fan breeze. It’s also very lightweight so it’s really easy to carry from room to room and up/down stairs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and effective fan.

I have to say I’m disappointed. I see these ads making it look like the best fan ever, and the reviews I read were great. I was increasing the level and at 3 I was thinking ok this thing must go to 8 or 10. When it stopped at 4 - I was seriously questioning every review and what I’d seen and heard of the brand.

Luckily I got it on sale. The first one I received was wobbly. The fan would randomly turn off completely, or would suddenly go from high setting to the lowest and make a super loud noise. Sometimes it would go back a bit higher but noise was still there. This was while on the regular mode, not the eco natural flow one.
The remote does not work for either that or replacement.

While the second doesn’t randomly turn off or get noisy suddenly (other than maybe twice), I’m still not overly impressed.

Pros:
1. Super easy set up
2. Has a remote
3. Oscillating
4. Multiple settings -

- which includes nighttime which gradually lowers throughout the night (yet to try this but sound great for winter months)
- setting of time
- “natural air” setting

5. Front and back are removable for easy cleaning

Cons:

1. Easy set up, I appreciate, — but I also felt like the bottom was cheap and worried it would break.
2. My remote doesn’t work
3. While I appreciate the oscillation, I wish you could choose to have it fully go side to side, or go a shorter degree. —In really hot weather you want it more towards those in the room.
4. Lack of power -
Setting and flow are quite weak for such a pricey fan. I expected a lot more air flow.
5. Price. - even on sale
6. The eco or natural setting is odd.
I get the idea of more like the wind blowing or whatever, but this is like, loud on level 4 to randomly switching to quiet barely blowing on level 1, and not every once in awhile. Like continuously.
The sound alone of the switching back and forth drove me nuts and I was seeing if i should leave that option on by my dog crate while I ran to the store. In like thirty seconds I was annoyed by it.

Fans are all so pricey it’s hard to say, but I need more and I’m not going to get this one again.
I’m sure I’ll move it to my bedroom once I get another one for my living room. I think it will be fine in there.

My place is not large either. I didn’t have crazy high expectations.

Just received my Dreo beautiful tower fan. I just purchased a table fan from this company a few days ago to prepare for the summer heat. I chose this because I have a Dreo portable heater that I use in the winter and I love it. This is very quiet as advertised and attractive. We have other tower fans we have Lasko, which is fairly quiet, but not super quiet and we have two Vornado tower fans which are not quiet. This one will go in my bedroom only used it for an hour, but I absolutely love it and highly recommend it!

I tend to get hot after taking a shower and getting ready in the morning, so needed a fan! This one is nice. Easy to assemble. The only change i’d make is to the air flow. It has 4 settings and i wish the 4th settings was much stronger, but it blows out okay. Honestly, its not as cold as i think it should be, but for its size it makes sense. From where its sitting in my bathroom the air flow makes it all the way to my shower curtain, so it blows a good distance for a smaller room. Still a good find.

Super ventilo pour la chambre de ma fille avec son ordi qui dégage une chaleur 😱😱😱 plus le temps actuellement il ne fait pas de bruit du tout regule sa vitesse selon la température ambiante et la nuit le cadran n est plus éclairé vraiment contente de ce ventilo et je pense fortement en acheter un autre pour mon salon il ne prend pas beaucoup de place il y a également une télécommande franchement je recommande ce produit👌

I got this fan yesterday, put it together and used last night. It is amazing, it cools fantastic you can barely hear it running. I hope it last a long time, i had the best nights sleep in a long time. If you’re on the fence don’t be buy it.

This is an amazing fan that is well worth the cost - if you're in a decent sized room. For a smaller room, this would be more power than you need. Dreo makes a smaller floor fan that I use for one of my small rooms and that works perfectly. Even in a living room I rarely need to turn this one to the highest setting. It's best to put it on oscillate mode to circulate the air. If you want something to blow directly on you or stay stationary just get a normal pedestal fan. It also looks very attractive and modern. Highly recommend this style over a pedestal fan.

This fan is very easy to put together. You just have to snap the base together, just snap it hard it will go into place. This is the quietest fan I've ever had, I don't even know it's there. It's a good looking fan and a good air output. I'm happy with it.

I bought this fan 2 years ago, and since then I’ve moved 3 times. Still works like new and still revolves smoothly. I turn it on every night because the subtle buzzing is a nice white noise. So that’s daily use for 2+ years, and no issues. My only hassle is figuring out how to clean it, but that’s what you deal have with any brand . I would highly recommend this!

I have been using this fan intermittently for two months now. I am so glad I spent the money! I could have gone cheaper, but this fan is incredible. I scoffed at having a remote, but it's been handy. Super quiet fan, the oscillating feature is smooth. I would purchase another in a heartbeat!

This is a pretty good fan, but it makes a revving sound as it turns instead of a constant sound. It's a bit annoying.
The remote works well and I like the multiple settings.

3 years later review:

I purchased this fan in June 2022 and it worked great for 3 summers straight! Very powerful and quiet. Alas, went to turn it on this summer and it blinked on, ran for about 30 seconds and died.

So in terms of function, great! Longevity, okay. I don’t know how long I thought this plastic fan would last, but the answer was 3 years.

Honestly this fan is AMAZING! Powerful airflow, extremely quiet, nice design. Love the remote control aspect. My room has stayed cool all day in this 80 degree weather. Highly recommend. I actually just bought another one for our living room. I am tossing out that loud fan that is in there now. This new fan will allow us to watch TV without all the noise from a fan. I also love that the led light doesn't stay on, this way my bedroom can remain dark.

This fan is incredible. The fan makes it feel a few degrees cooler in the room you’re using it in. It was a life saver for the days before our air conditioning was turned on. The fan has four different speed settings. It comes with a remote control, so you don’t even have to change settings. It is pretty quiet, but will give you some ambient noise. For the price, I would recommend this fan over other fans.

While I cannot speak to long term durability as I have only had it for a few days, I am really impressed. It moves a LOT of air. I have it on its lowest setting and easily feel the breeze across the room. It is VERY quiet compared to the old school pedestal fan. Its indicator lights turn off after a few minutes and it is about as unobtrusive as you could reasonably expect. It has angle of rotation when oscillating. It feels well
built and easy to “assemble” (all you do is snap the circular base halves together and clip the tower into them. It is worth every penny it cost -
again with the one caveat is the durability which can only be known with time.

Lo he devuelto, porque el aire es excesivo para una habitación, incluso grande. El ventilador es muy bueno, muy silencioso y se ve una gran calidad. Pero el aire a 6m y en velocidad mínima se siente claramente. Es para quien quiera tener un chorro de aire cerca. No es mi caso.
Pero la calidad me pareció excelente

I love this fan. The digital display disappears after a few seconds. No rolling over or waking up to a bright light. Nice height, very QUIET. Can turn off the beeping sounds, too. Auto cycle didn’t work for me as the fan goes off and comes back on, thought it was broken at first, the slight change woke me. As someone else mentioned, I submitted for the extended WARRANTY. First email was for a year, wrote back and next day it was corrected. Small base is a big help, great oscillation range.

This is the second one of these fans that we've bought -- the first one was 2 years ago and we bought a second to use in a different room of our home - not because the first one stopped working. The remote is clutch especially when using it in the living room or in the evening when it's hard to see the buttons on the fan itself. This is extremely quiet and the fan is very powerful. The oscillation has a great range of motion - perhaps a full 180 degrees at least? Either way, everyone gets their chance in front of the cool breeze. Very happy with it and how quiet it is!

This fan is absolutely amazing! Around this time last year I would have 3 fans going and my room would reach 90°F on not even the hottest days making my life so miserable but even since I got this fan my room barely ever reaches past 82°F which is so nice! I love how powerful it is and it doesn't take up that much space compared to my old fan and it can really get the air moving without having to be on the highest setting. I've never been happier with a fan!

Okay I bought two of these, the first one I returned because I found out if you leave the fan on constantly it'll start to break/burn plastic (I think). Whatever it was it smelled like dook. The second fan I've had for a while, I turn it on at increments of 2 hours, at fan speed 2 and I've not had any issues at all. Slightly concerned turning it up more would cause it to break something, but I'm quite happy with it, especially when it's on sale. Might get another one and use smart outlets to program both fans to turn on and off on opposite sides of my apt. Looks pretty good too.

This fan is fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to put a fan in my office. My office has been way too hot all week and was way too hot when I plugged it in earlier today, and now it feels cool. It didn't change the temperature one single degree but I feel cool now. It's a huge fan and it came in a huge box. It took maybe 3 minutes to put the stand on it and get it started. Remote control worked perfectly wit the first use. I have it oscillating, set to level 2, and every time it hits me, it feels icy cold. Crazy effective. Level 2 is very quiet. On level 4, it's a pretty loud droning noise, but it also is moving a huge amount of air, so I understand. I would recommend this to anyone.

I just plugged it in a couple of hours ago, so I can't speak to its longevity.

Bought this for my son. He's says it pretty good. The remote takes some getting used to. That's basically why it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. It is nice that it has a remote and it does work well. This fan also does what it's suppose to do. If I didn't set it up it would probably still be in the box. But my son uses it everyday with no complaints.

This was purchased to replace the fan in my daughter's room.
After running non stop for just over 3 years, except for the occasional cleaning, the motor finally gave up the ghost.
I let my daughter decide on her next fan, and this is the one she chose.
This one only has 4 speeds vs the 8 on the previous fan, but because of the great design, 4 speeds turned out to be quite sufficient.
She also likes that it is fully remote control and can be operated from anywhere in her room.
The air flow is really quite amazing, and best of all, the fan is incredibly quite.
Would purchase again if the need arose

I bought this fan to replace an old, noisy box fan in my bedroom. It was really easy to set up, and I had it running and the controls figured out in no time. I really like the functionality of this fan, and the multiple settings. It oscillates, has 4 speeds, timer, and the display light automatically turns off after a minute or so. You can also turn off the sound for the beeps when you're changing speeds or the settings (hallelujah). Plus, the remote is a game changer. I can turn it on/off, adjust the speed, etc. All from the comfort of my own bed! The fan speeds have a good variation and it moves the air around my room when it's standing still. I have it up on my dresser, and even elevated, it cools my whole room. I also wanted to write this review to shout out Tina at Dreo customer support. After a month or two of having the fan, it started to make a weird sound--like a bird chirping. It was happening sporadically, but it was becoming more frequent and louder. I reached out to customer service and after sending in a video and some information, it was determined I'd need a replacement fan. Tina was quick to respond to my issue, and quick to help me resolve it. She was very polite, and honestly it was super easy to make the claim. My replacement was shipped out ASAP, and they did not need me to send the fan back (although I would have if it was necessary). It's hard to find companies with solid customer support, so Dreo gets 5 stars for their awesome fan and customer forward mindset. Noise aside, the fan is wonderful and I'd buy definitely buy another Dreo fan in the future. Highly recommend!

I bought this Dreo 36” Nomad One fan to replace a heavy-duty 14” fan which was ready to be retired after 20+ years of amazing performance. (They sure don’t make fans like that anymore!) Since I tend to run hot, I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching various types and brands of fans. I purchased the Nomad One based on the incredibly high ratings by virtually every independent website as well as the dozens of excellent YouTube videos which showed how powerful and versatile it is. A lot of the videos compared the Dreo to numerous other brands (including the ridiculously expensive Dyson tower fan) and the Dreo was the overall winner every single time.

This fan is fantastic! Since I just received it, I can’t speak to its longevity (unfortunately, nothing seems to last for 20 years anymore), but the performance is better than I would have believed.

Tons of Functions: I won’t describe all the functions of the fan or the remote control because you can read about them or see them in action on YouTube videos, but I did want give a shout-out to the “natural mode,” which continuously varies the fan speed to mimic variable outside breezes. When I finally figured out what that mode does (I had never heard of that type of function on a fan), it sounded like one of the dumbest ideas ever. Wrong! It’s actually ridiculously enjoyable and relaxing; it really does a great impression of a real outdoor breeze!

Powerful Airflow: I sleep with a fan on almost year-round because I’m always hot. This fan (which is the smallest of Dreo’s tower fans) is *plenty* powerful. The air speed is slightly less strong than my heavy-duty 14” fan, but the airflow is much more concentrated; instead of disbursing the air in a wide pattern, it produces a concentrated column of air which is much more directional and efficient — more of the air actually reaches your body instead of being uselessly disbursed around the room. Plus, because of the fan’s height, the air column reaches the top of my bed so it’s really effective during sleep; my prior bedroom fan sat on the floor, and regardless of how I tilted the fan head, the air either bounced back off the box spring or dissipated into the upper part of the room rather than providing direct cooling to me.

Superb Customer Support (thank you, Lindsay!): The fan has a standard 12-month warranty, but came with a card saying I could extend the warranty to 30 months for free by creating an online Dreo account and registering my product. The process is a little clunky — you’ll need your Amazon order # and the exact model number of your fan (which is printed on the shipping box, so take a picture of the box before throwing it out!) — but it was manageable. After I registered my fan, I immediately received an auto-generated email from Dreo confirming my registration; unfortunately, the email listed the warranty period as 12 months instead of the promised 30 months. Since I am nothing if not persistent, I immediately submitted a support ticket about the error (through the Support page on the Dreo website) late on a Friday afternoon. To my surprise, about 7 hours later, I received a response from Lindsay at Dreo Customer Care. Lindsay was a real person who had obviously read my message carefully and understood the problem. She apologized for the error and said she would correct the warranty period in Dreo’s records. About 30 seconds later, I received another auto-email from Dreo, this time correctly listing the 30-month extended warranty period. Yes, I was annoyed that the initial registration didn’t automatically extend the warranty as promised, but I was blown away with the quick response (on a Friday night, no less), the fact that a real person (not an annoying AI chat-bot) read my email and responded, and the fact that Lindsay said she would correct the error — and did so in less than one minute. That, my fellow Amazonians, is what I call excellent customer service!

Value: I was lucky enough to catch this $69.99 fan on a Limited Deal with a 10%-off coupon, but I wouldn’t hesitate to pay full price. If the build quality is a good as the performance, this fan should last a long time and the excellent performance is well worth the price.

Bottom Line: Since I wanted to see if this tower fan design actually worked, I ordered this least-expensive Dreo, without all the bells and whistles of the top-of-the-line WiFi version. Now that I have experienced first-hand that the fan really is as good as all the reviews claimed, I’ll be adding the 42” fancy WiFi version (which is Alexa/Google controllable) to my Amazon wish list and hoping it goes on sale when Amazon Prime Day arrives in July. And if it’s not on sale, I’ll probably buy it anyway — but shh!, don’t tell Amazon. 🤫

5 enthusiastic stars!

If you’re looking for a sleek, powerful, and whisper-quiet fan, the Dreo Tower Fan Nomad One (DR-HTF007) is a fantastic choice. With a wind velocity of 25ft/s, it delivers strong airflow that easily cools down a room within minutes. I was genuinely impressed by how efficient this fan is, especially considering its bladeless design — it’s both safe and stylish.

One of the standout features for me is how quiet it runs — only 28dB on the lowest setting. Perfect for bedrooms, especially if you're a light sleeper. I can leave it on overnight using the 8-hour timer, and it doesn't disturb my sleep at all.

It offers 4 fan speeds and 4 modes (Normal, Natural, Sleep, and Auto), making it versatile for different needs. Whether I’m working, sleeping, or just relaxing, I can easily find the right setting. The 90° oscillation ensures even air distribution, so it doesn't just blow air in one direction.

The fan is easy to assemble and clean, and its slim, modern look fits beautifully in any room. It also comes with a remote control, which is super convenient when you’re lounging or in bed.

Dreo vs Lasko Tower Fans--Which Should You Buy?
Summer is coming, and everyone could use a little more cooling on hot summer days. Gone are the days of box fans or awkward top heavy circular oscillating fans. Today, when people need a little extra air flow, they go for a tower fan with a remote.

As you might expect, there is a dizzying array of choices available. In this article, we’ll compare the Lasko 2511 with a new option on the market, the Dreo. 36” tower fan. Both of these fans offer a quality experience, but which should you buy?

Air Flow
As you would expect, fan speed, or more specifically, the wind speed of the air leaving the fan, is probably the most important consideration when selecting one. You want something that will move air! Both the Lasko and Dreo tower fans offer multiple speeds to customize your cooling comfort.

The Lasko has three speeds, the lowest bing really gentle, with the highest being significant enough to be felt 8 feet away. The Dreo, on the other hand, has four speeds available. 1, 2, and 3 are pretty comparable to the feel of the Lasko. However, speed 4 is noticeably more powerful than what the Lasko offers.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Lasko oscillates over a 45° spread, while the Dreo has a 90° oscillation. So overall, the Dreo is going to move air over a larger area, but ultimately it seems like this difference is going to come down to a matter of preference.

Noise
The noise level of both fans is pretty comparable, with the Dreo being noticeably quieter at lower speeds. From three feet away, at speed 1, the Dreo registers at a whisper quiet 34 dB, while the Lasko is 44 dB. You have to get the Dreo up to speed 3 to hit 44 dB, and at that speed, the Lasko only goes up to 47 dB. Basically ,the Lasko doesn’t add much more noise at the different speeds.

The Dreo does have that extra speed 4 that cranks up the noise a bit with the wind speed. At speed 4, the Dreo runs at 48 dB.

The Dreo has an extra feature that Lasko is lacking. You can mute the button sounds. This is handy if you want to make adjustments without interrupting the quiet.

Design
The design of these two fans is similar, but also so markedly different that it’s hard not to remark on it.

Lasko, as with many of their products, has opted for a functional, utilitarian design that gets the job done. It doesn’t look particularly bad, but it’s not great either. The light indicators let you know what your settings are, but they're just dots of lights next to numbers. In the case of the sleep timer, they even require you to do math to know what the timer is set on. And the numbers you’re looking at are printed on the fan, not backlit. So you’re going to have to turn on the light to check your settings if you’re in a dark room.

The Dreo, on the other hand, looks like a work of modern art, with its all black design, and the big LED screen. You won’t have any problem knowing what speed the fan is set to or what the sleep timer is set on. No moving closer to inspect tiny numbers printed on the casing.

The design differences carry through to the remotes. The Lasko remote is functional, if unsightly, while the Dreo is beautiful and sleek (and the Dreo remote also comes with a battery; the Lasko doesn’t).

Ease of Use
To be honest, any fan is pretty dead simple to use, but some are easier than others.

In the case of these two, the Lasko comes with fairly simple instructions: push the power button to turn on, adjust the speed, etc.

The Dreo has similarly simple instructions, but also has some additional options (mute, auto mode, natural mode, etc.).

Also, the Dreo instructions are delivered in a much more appealing and professionally polished package, which I can’t ignore. Providing an instruction booklet like this sends a message to your customers that you take their experience seriously.

One feature of the Dreo that isn’t included in the instructions is the easy to remove and clean back panel. If you’ve ever run a fan for any amount of time, you know that you’ll be dealing with dust buildup. With the one screw panel removal, the Dreo makes that much simpler. The back panel on the Lasko looks like you’ll have to remove six screws, but I’m not sure if it’s really designed to remove and clean.

Conclusion
Choosing from a wide selection of very similar products can be daunting at the best of times. For something like a tower fan, there’s really just not that much to the hardware to differentiate one from the other, but Dreo does manage to bring a more compelling product to the market. With quieter operation, a large and bright LED display, more features, a more appealing design, and a better user experience, the Dreo 36” tower fan really does offer a better product than the Lasko 2511. And you’ll pay $10 more for that difference, as the Lasko only costs 59.99, while the Dreo retails for 69.99. Whether or not the upgrades are worth the extra expense is really up to you, but for a product that will last for years to come, my money is on Dreo.

Complete review:
1. Assembly and Structure - 5stars
The fan is very easy to assemble no tools required, just snap the two base pieces and then snap the tower on the base. The power cord in 60inches(5feet) long. Comes with nice small remote that operates with CR2025 3V battery(included). Easy to carry handle provided at the back top. And also below the handle there is holder for the remote. Touch panel allows to change options on the fan directly with out the remote and the dislay turnsoff after 30seconds automatically.

2. Noise - 4stars
This fan is promoted as quieter fan and see lot of reviews even suggesting the same. But i dont agree to that comparing it to my previous tower fan, i feel the noise level is almost the same at high speed. But the noise really wont disturb your sleep unless your very sensitive to noise. Just place the tower fan on the other side of the bed or TV so that noise doesnt disturb.
If placing on carpet ensure the base is almost flat, generally tower fans if they are slanted can make noise over the long run.

3. Performance and consumption - 5stars
At max speed(4) it really blows plenty of air which you can feel upto 12-14feet, so it might be good for large rooms too.
At max speed(4) it probably consumes 42W and it will be little lower at lesser speeds. Use the timer function to turn off automatically that surely saves money.

4. Features: 5stars
Remembers all the settings except timer when turned off.
i) Timer - This is a must have feature commonly found on these tower fans. Can set timer from 1hour to 8hours. Generally i set at night before sleep so that it automatically turns off in the morning. This really helps in saving costs, because some day we can always forget to turnoff due to other distractions.

ii) Speeds - there are 4 speed levels(1-4).

iii) Rotation - It does make a perfect 90 degree rotation and the movement is smooth and silent.

iv) Modes - There are 4 modes. but really sleep & normal modes are generally used.
a. Normal - Probably most used mode. Fan runs at constant speed.

b. Sleep - Fan speed decreases every 30min and max reduces two speed levels.
For level 4: 4 -> 3 -> 2
For level 3: 3 -> 2 -> 1
For level 2: 2 -> 1 (reduces only one level)
For Level 1: 1(no change)
Its a nice power saving feature but i felt instead of 30min should have been every 2hours.

c. Auto - Its says the fan adapts to the ambient temperature but not sure how its possible in this model since it doesnt have any temperature reader. Some models have temperature reader which may be possible in those

d. Natural - Says fan runs in alternating speeds but really not sure on what basis.

v) Remote Volume - A beep sound will be heard on changing options
via the touch panel or the remote. We can turnon/off this beep sound.

5. Safety - 5stars
The gap in the grills are very small on all the sides and the rotating wheel is an inch inside, so i feel it should be safe with kids and pets around.
The power plug has an inbuild fuse which would protect the fan from against any overload or short-circuit.

6. Cleaning - 5stars
I believe this is the only tower fan that has the option to open the rear grill and the rotor wheel, so that we can wash it. Previous tower fan i used to use the vaccuum with less success. This is one of the best feature.
