Product review: Dreo Evaporative Air Cooler Tower Fan, 40 inch Portable Tower with remote

 


The first impression of this fan - wow, it is quiet. I can only tell it is on because of the airflow on several settings.

Assembly was a bit tricky, the diagrams are not very clear, and the plastic parts are not well marked. But eventually, I was able to get all parts to fit.

Notes:
☆ Remote runs on CR2025 3V battery. It comes with one battery (and a battery saver inserted during transport).
☆ The water tank has tubes connecting to the cooler; to fill it with water, you have to pull it out partially and then use another container to fill the tank. It is possible to free it by pressing on tabs deep inside of the mechanism, but this disassembly is not worth the trouble.
☆ The water tank should be cleaned every two weeks.

This fan can be used as a regular fan or as a swamp cooler. It has a 1.06-gallon water tank that holds ice packs. The air blows through the cool, wet curtain inside the fan tower, so the air comes out cooler than the air a regular fan would blow.

These fans work great in California, where it is dry. They are a lot less effective in humid weather, and of course, they also raise the humidity. In New England, we get some very humid days, but overall it is not as humid as Florida. By no means is it as good as the air conditioner, but when a window air conditioner is not an option, it is better than nothing.
