Dreo Smart Cell Fans

Entregado ayer. Me sorprende largo trayecto desde Florida, EEUU a España a través de FEDEX. El Manual Usuario está en inglés y en la web de DREO no hay en español, excepto un documento sobre el uso de los datos que recoge el ventilador que puedan llegar al fabricante. Hay videos de instalación también en inglés, ninguno en inglés y no lo entiendo porque creo que también se vende en Hispanoamérica. Veremos qué dice el electricista ya que solo habla español. Hasta ahora todo lo que he comprado ha venido de Europa y China, teniendo o no almacén en Europa. Está guardado en la caja, tomaré una decisión en un par de días, en cuanto a su devolución por falta de información en español, idioma oficial dentro de la Unión Europea. De momento lo califico con 1 estrella

This Dreo ceiling fan is a standout in both design and performance. The white finish and subtle color tones give it a clean, modern look that blends beautifully with any room decor. Installation was straightforward and once mounted (quite easily I might add), it sits flush and low-profile—perfect for bedrooms.What I appreciated were the 12 fan speeds and 3 modes, along with the graduated dimmable lighting. You can fine-tune the airflow and brightness to exactly what you need, whether it’s a gentle breeze or a stronger push of air. And speaking of airflow, this fan is virtually silent but still manages to move a significant amount of air—enough that we rely on it through hot Florida nights instead of running the AC.I loved it so much I bought a second one right away. When I went back for a third and fourth, they were unfortunately out of stock, and I had to settle for a near-match from another brand for the other bedrooms.After about 8 months, I did notice one issue with the remote on our master bedroom fan—it became overly sensitive, registering touches and beeping even when just lifting it off the shelf. I had to factory reset the fan (using different instructions online) twice over 11 months because the speed seemed stuck on medium nor would it reverse (anticlockwise) for winter months, but this only affected one unit. The other in guest bedroom has worked flawlessly.Despite that minor hiccup, I still absolutely love this fan. It’s a perfect cooling solution for quiet, comfortable sleep, and the smart features make it a joy to appreciate. Trust me, if it's not turned on, you'll appreciate when it is!

I have a few other DREO fans that I’m impressed with so I thought I’d take a chance with this ceiling fan. This fan does not disappoint.It’s very simple to install. Once you remove the base and install it to the ceiling box mount there is a small hook you can hang the base from while you tie into the ground, hit, and neutral wires for your switch. There’s plenty of space so the electrical connection won’t be cramped while you twist the base onto the mount and screw it tight. Mine came with a collar for the mount plate to hide the screws so not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. I preferred to install the four fan blades on a work table and then bring it to the ceiling box.As far as operation goes, it’s very smooth and quiet. Was able to pair it easily to the app and control it along with my other DREO products. The remote is pretty nice and doesn’t feel too “plasticky”. The light gets bright and has a smooth to soft characteristic with many different color temperatures to choose from.Overall very happy to have this well designed and functional fan in our four bedrooms, especially during this part of the summer.

TLDR: Install is easy, airflow/energy spent is phenomenal, fan is attractive and everything works great. I wish it could dim more, and in my opinion the warmest setting is not nearly warm enough, especially for a bedroom. Still phenomenal value.First off, I have used Dreo products in the past. Good quality stuff. Foreign made, but always good quality, feature thoughts, and good engineering decisions.With this unit, the motor is DC, and as such is insanely efficient especially for how much air it moves. It moves a LOT of air in a bedroom (44"). Like turn it up to top speed and your loose papers will be fluttering.It also gives you the ability to slow the fan down and have pretty crazy levels of granularity on speed, not to mention running it in reverse, among other features. Combine that with the app and the quality remote, and you've got an absolute winner.Installation was easy if you're handy. If you're replacing an existing ceiling fan, most likely you've already got a standardized mount / power. The initial mount for the fan has slots to allow for fitting even on a less than perfectly spaced mount. Kill your power, 3 wire nuts (black to black, white to white, ground to ground, done).From there, there is a hook that temporarily holds the heavy motor while you wire it all up, and then get it in place and get the side screws installed. Its a bit heavy, so if you're doing it solo, it's great to be able to "UGH THIS SCREW WON'T GO IN AND MY ARM IS GONNA FALL OFF FROM HOLDING THIS MOTOR" and quickly hang it back on the hook. Recover and try again.Finally you'll get it, motor screws into base, and then you screw the blades into the motor (super easy from the design, they cut the blades in a way that made them slot perfectly to line up with the screw holes. Easy. Comes with a balancing kit, haven't needed to use it, even at full speed.Finally, plug in the LED module with clip connectors, shove it in, and you're done.Turn your power back on, test it with the remote, get it connected to the app, and bliss.Unit is exactly as described. Extremely quiet, very pretty (I got white with the fake "light wood" blades). Connection has been rock solid once paired to wifi, even after multiple power cuts.Now, the part that is a minor annoyance, but a big enough annoyance that it annoys *ME*. It may not annoy you, but this goes bother me.Overhead lighting is wonderful. It's got great spill, is not like a spotlight. In a bedroom, it's lights the room, not like a blasting beam straight down.The RGB is fun, but I will never use it except in a novelty role to show a guest "check this out". But if you want it, its functional and does cool RGB things.My gripe: The "warm" isn't anywhere close to as warm as I'd like it. I run very warm lighting in my house. My bulbs dim from 3000K to 2200K (the fancy Philipps ones) and honestly I'm a bit of a lighting snob. I run 2700K everywhere. I like my light warm.The white setting is great in the day time. I work from home, so some extra bright white/cool light is appreciated for circadian rhythm in the day.HOWEVER: At night and the WARM side of things is... far from warm my definition of warm. I used an admittedly unreliable and free kelvin meter from the app store. I measured the warmest level at 3000K, which looks exactly on point to me.Brightness levels: It gets bright enough for use in broad daylight, but AT NIGHT It doesn't get candle light dim, which for a unit with so much granular control and LED based, I would have hoped to see.Once again, I want to reiterate that I am a lighting snob, you may not even notice or care, but I do and it's annoying enough that when it's dark out, I'd rather use my floor lamps dimmed down than the Dreo due to it's brightness level and how neutral / cool the light is.Attached are screenshots of the app, the kelvin testing app, white balance adjusted photos of the LED light in question, as well as true 2700K super warm bulbs.If you read this far... just buy it. It's seriously a great unit. It's one of those "foreign made, but actually quality with a smart person pulling the strings behind the scenes for design and engineering choices". You will be hard pressed to find this much functionality for this price, and that goes for the larger units too.

Absolutely fantastic, no pun intended....These are a much needed leap forward in ceiling fan evolution. They're DC powered, so they use very little electricity to operate and are dead quiet. Even on start-up, you'll notice there is nearly zero hum as we are all used to with bulky AC powered units.They're also incredibly light weighing maybe 10 lbs, I'm not sure. The installation was super quick and simple. They're perfectly balanced and do not sway even at top speed, which is considerable and capable of pushing an amazing amount of air. I was somewhat concerned during the install that the fan may be too small for our master bedroom but even the lowest of the six speeds is almost too much most of the time, for my personal needs. We haven't hit the peak of the hot, miserable, Alabama summer yet, so who knows.The cherry on top is not just that there's a remote, but rather that it's WiFi enabled, with an Alexa and Google compatible app. The tunable white light is also nice since I don't gel with cold white light at all.We also bought the larger RGB enabled fan for our living room and these are, by far and away, the best ceiling fans I've ever used. No qualms.
