The Dreo DR-HTF008S is a bladeless tower fan about 40 inches tall that oscillates and can be controlled with a remote, an app or a voice assistant. It is designed for bedrooms and living rooms where you want a tall, slim fan that moves air across the room. Here is what its features mean.
How a bladeless tower fan works
A tower fan typically draws air into the base and pushes it out through a tall slot, which spreads the breeze in a column rather than a round beam. Dreo describes an aerodynamic airflow system that delivers air at up to 26 feet per second (about 8 m/s). That is a measure of air speed at the outlet, so the breeze you feel depends on how far you sit from the fan.
Dreo says the no-blade design suits households with children and pets, because there are no exposed spinning blades. Even so, supervise young children and pets near any fan, and follow the manual.
Speeds, modes and oscillation
The fan has five speeds and four modes: Normal, Natural, Sleep and Auto. Natural mode typically varies the speed to imitate a changing breeze. In Auto mode, according to Dreo, the fan speed follows the room temperature. The fan oscillates through 90 degrees to spread air across the room. Dreo suggests running it together with an air conditioner to help move cooled air around.
A timer of up to 12 hours and a touch control panel are included, and a remote comes with it.
Quiet running
Dreo lists operation at 34 dB, and says the display switches off automatically and Sleep mode keeps the fan unobtrusive overnight. A level of 34 dB is typically in the range of a quiet library, though noise in practice rises at higher speeds.
App and voice control
The Dreo app lets you control the fan from elsewhere, and Dreo says you can share access with up to eight members. It works with Alexa and Google Home for voice control. Smart features need a home wireless network and a compatible account, so check the manual for setup and the networks supported.
Size and weight
The fan measures 11.3 x 11.3 x 39.8 inches (about 29 x 29 x 101 cm) and weighs 7.7 pounds (about 3.5 kg). The footprint is small, which is the main advantage of the tower shape in a bedroom corner. The listed finish is silver.
Who it suits
It suits people who want a slim fan that stands in a corner, anyone who likes controlling a fan from the sofa or bed using a remote, and households that already use a voice assistant.
What to check before you buy
- Room and placement: check where you can stand a 40-inch fan with clear air in front.
- Smart setup: confirm that your phone, network and assistant are compatible.
- Noise: the 34 dB figure is the brand's, so noise rises with speed.
- Remote: confirm the remote and its battery arrangements in the manual.
- Cleaning: check how to clean the vents and the base.
- Safety: follow the manual, particularly around children and pets.
