DREO DR-HPF007S Smart Pedestal Fan: position-based oscillation explained

The DREO DR-HPF007S is a tall, silver smart pedestal fan, also called the TurboPoly Fan 707S. Its distinctive feature is position-based oscillation: it can follow you around the room. It's aimed at bedrooms and other living spaces.

Position-based oscillation

DREO says the fan oscillates as you move around the room, limited to horizontal motion, and that it adjusts its speed based on your distance. The brand notes that this works through the DREO app only. In general, features like this work by sensing where a person is, so check the manual and the app for how to enable it and for any limits on how well it works with several people or pets in the room.

Whole-room circulation

DREO says the fan combines an aerodynamic design with 3D oscillation of 150° horizontal and 120° vertical, and can refresh a 156 sq. ft. room in one minute. It has up to 9 speeds and a rated airflow of up to 1,404 CFM, with speeds of up to 26 ft/s and reach of up to 110 feet. CFM measures the volume of air moved each minute. These are the brand's figures; actual effect depends on the room.

Six modes

The six airflow modes are normal, natural, sleep, auto, custom and turbo. In general, natural varies the speed like a breeze, sleep tones down the output for night, and auto responds to temperature. Custom lets you set your own pattern. The manual explains how each works on this model.

Quiet for bedtime

DREO rates the fan at 20dB, and says this lets you stay cool without noise at night. It has an 8-hour timer on the fan, and up to 12 hours when using the app, so it can turn off after you fall asleep. The pedestal height can be adjusted to improve reach in different bedrooms.

Size

The listing gives 13.7 x 8.7 x 42.5 inches, and a weight of 18.1 lb (about 8.2 kg), so it's a taller, heavier fan than most. The weight generally helps with stability, but you should still keep it clear of walkways and children's reach, as the manual advises.

Who it suits

It suits people who want a floor fan that moves with them and covers a wide sweep, particularly in bedrooms and living rooms. It also suits those who like to control a fan with an app or voice.

What to check before you buy

• App dependence: the position-following feature is exclusive to the DREO app, so confirm your phone and Wi-Fi work with it.
• Room layout: the sensing and sweep work best with open space; furniture can get in the way.
• Height: at 42.5 inches, check it fits under ceiling fans, shelves or lights.
• Weight and moving it: 18.1 lb is easy to shift but not as light as a table fan.
• Noise: the 20dB figure is DREO's own claim; check which speed it applies to.
• Upkeep: unplug it before cleaning, and follow the manual.
