Dreo 40“ Evaporative Air Cooler, 35dB Silent Cooling Fan that Blow Cold Air, 80° Oscillating Bladeless Tower Fan for Bedroom, Removable Water Tank, Ice Packs, Remote Control, 4 Speed, 7H Timer, White

I purchased this Air Cooler on the 11th May. Arrived in perfect condition the next day. Followed the very clear and simple instructions provided within the box which took 5-10 mins max to get it set up.Initially was very sceptical about how effective this Air cooler would be however I am very overwhelmed at how good it is. The item comes with 2 Ice packs which need freezing on arrival and a detachable section to insert water if wanted. The Air cooler works well without using the water system just like a typical fan would but you would be greatly surprised at how good the ice cold water helps the Air cooler blow chilly air around the room.I’ve since bought further Ice packs and now run the Air cooler with 4 ice packs at a time with another 4 in the freezer so I can swap and change without delay. A typical fan will blow ambient temperature air in your direction giving you a feeling that you’re cooling down however if you sit in front of this for a few minutes with it running on max fan speed + ice water it gets very chilly!! Yes it’s not going to be anywhere near a fully installed AC Unit but for the UK that’s perhaps a bit over the top in my opinion.I use this item in a relatively small room 13m x 9m and after approx 1-2 hours there is a good noticeable difference in temperature compared to other rooms in the house. Sort of feels like walking into a small chiller room if you’ve ever experienced that. No more sweaty nights and it’s really quiet on Sleep mode so doesn’t keep you awake if you’re a light sleeper.Have used previous Dreo Heaters in the past so I know the brand can deliver good products and this is another great example. Very pleased.

Great tower fan with the added benefit of evaporative cooling.Pros - lightweight and energy efficientlooks good (in black)moves a lot of airCons -only drops the air temperature by 2-3Ccooling pads are a little small are made of a fibre/cardboard type material not metal therefore hard to cleanthe fan can get a musty smell which can be fixed by using chlorine tabletsMajor design flaw - in order to remove the tank, you have to disconnect the pump from the bottom. Conversely, when the tank is refilled, you have to reseat the pump at the bottom of the tank which involves submerging your arm in ice cold water.?!? This can be avoided by filling with a large watering can type jug

Works brilliantly. Actually had to turn it off one evening as it was so effective it made us cold! In a heatwave!

Fast delivery and the item arrived in great condition and highest quality. Definitely recommended

It's a fan that is BIG and it is expensive. The water and ice cubes do nothing. We have a tower fan from the same brand and it is exactly the same output, smaller physical size though.Even with water and ice, its just an extra hassle. The container for water detaches and you have to detach part of a refrigeration unit that was submerged in water, which drips all over the floor.We also have another fan from the same manufacturer and it does the same job, no water needed.We did a test:Over a 2.5hr approx period the temperature went down by 1 degrees C and did not drop again.You get the comfort of cool air on you, it wont change an environment though. So 30 degree heat will be 29 degree heat with a fan blowing on you. Sent it back and getting another of the "normal" fan towers.

Works as it should, cools well and really cools when using ice packs and water, only worry point is flimsy plastic base would not take much abuse.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I had an older Dreo tower fan which was great, came with an app so you could also control it from your phone. It's still going well but with the recent heat we wanted something that was going to cool the room more.Air cooling:It's a good size, having had Dreo before we love the make and build. Sadly no option to connect to the app which we thought it would being a newer fan. It's definitely quiet running, level 1 you can hardly hear, or level 2 you can easily sleep though just the white noise. As a normal fan lovely, 4 speed settings, 2 modes, again not as many as our older and cheaper Dreo fan. Did it cool anymore mmm maybe a little, don't get my wrong you can notice the difference on your skin if your sitting closer to it but don't expect it to cool a room. We used it in the bedroom but when using the cooling feature you need ventilation. You can use any ice packs and we used chilled water in it. It's easy to change the water and ice packs. Overall a nice fan but for the money if your looking to really reduce the temperature in a room you might be better looking for an AC.

Excellent product for short term relief.
