Normally I just use cheap Costco tower fans and figured that "a fan is a fan", right? However, I bought a DREO fan on the recommendation of a property manager and realized this summer than ever the lowest end DREO fan is made and performs far better than any Costco fan. Less blade noise and fewer cheap mechanical squeaks and rattles made for a much nicer experience.
Based on that experience I replaced all the fans in my house with DREO fans. They have been absolutely fantastic and reduced our dependency on our A/C this summer. I love managing them with the app and using a HomeBridge server I even have them linked up to Apple HomeKit.
I do have one complaint with these "Smart Pilot Max S" tower fans though. It's great that we can select a narrow oscillation sweep angle like 30 degrees. However, it's almost pointless because you can't tell the app where to point that sweep on this fan, so it's often necessary to pick up the fan and point it. The MC710S has this feature and it really should be available on the Smart Pilot Max S as well. If we could save and recall favorite preset angles like the MC710S that would be even better. This fan should be smart enough to do it, and I really hope this is something DREO will offer in a future firmware update.
