Dreo vs Lasko Tower Fans--Which Should You Buy? Summer is coming, and everyone could use a little more cooling on hot summer days. Gone are the days of box fans or awkward top heavy circular oscillating fans. Today, when people need a little extra air flow, they go for a tower fan with a remote. As you might expect, there is a dizzying array of choices available. In this article, we’ll compare the Lasko 2511 with a new option on the market, the Dreo. 36” tower fan. Both of these fans offer a quality experience, but which should you buy? Air Flow As you would expect, fan speed, or more specifically, the wind speed of the air leaving the fan, is probably the most important consideration when selecting one. You want something that will move air! Both the Lasko and Dreo tower fans offer multiple speeds to customize your cooling comfort. The Lasko has three speeds, the lowest bing really gentle, with the highest being significant enough to be felt 8 feet away. The Dreo, on the other hand, has four speeds available. 1, 2, and 3 are pretty comparable to the feel of the Lasko. However, speed 4 is noticeably more powerful than what the Lasko offers. It’s also worth mentioning that the Lasko oscillates over a 45° spread, while the Dreo has a 90° oscillation. So overall, the Dreo is going to move air over a larger area, but ultimately it seems like this difference is going to come down to a matter of preference. Noise The noise level of both fans is pretty comparable, with the Dreo being noticeably quieter at lower speeds. From three feet away, at speed 1, the Dreo registers at a whisper quiet 34 dB, while the Lasko is 44 dB. You have to get the Dreo up to speed 3 to hit 44 dB, and at that speed, the Lasko only goes up to 47 dB. Basically ,the Lasko doesn’t add much more noise at the different speeds. The Dreo does have that extra speed 4 that cranks up the noise a bit with the wind speed. At speed 4, the Dreo runs at 48 dB. The Dreo has an extra feature that Lasko is lacking. You can mute the button sounds. This is handy if you want to make adjustments without interrupting the quiet. Design The design of these two fans is similar, but also so markedly different that it’s hard not to remark on it. Lasko, as with many of their products, has opted for a functional, utilitarian design that gets the job done. It doesn’t look particularly bad, but it’s not great either. The light indicators let you know what your settings are, but they're just dots of lights next to numbers. In the case of the sleep timer, they even require you to do math to know what the timer is set on. And the numbers you’re looking at are printed on the fan, not backlit. So you’re going to have to turn on the light to check your settings if you’re in a dark room. The Dreo, on the other hand, looks like a work of modern art, with its all black design, and the big LED screen. You won’t have any problem knowing what speed the fan is set to or what the sleep timer is set on. No moving closer to inspect tiny numbers printed on the casing. The design differences carry through to the remotes. The Lasko remote is functional, if unsightly, while the Dreo is beautiful and sleek (and the Dreo remote also comes with a battery; the Lasko doesn’t). Ease of Use To be honest, any fan is pretty dead simple to use, but some are easier than others. In the case of these two, the Lasko comes with fairly simple instructions: push the power button to turn on, adjust the speed, etc. The Dreo has similarly simple instructions, but also has some additional options (mute, auto mode, natural mode, etc.). Also, the Dreo instructions are delivered in a much more appealing and professionally polished package, which I can’t ignore. Providing an instruction booklet like this sends a message to your customers that you take their experience seriously. One feature of the Dreo that isn’t included in the instructions is the easy to remove and clean back panel. If you’ve ever run a fan for any amount of time, you know that you’ll be dealing with dust buildup. With the one screw panel removal, the Dreo makes that much simpler. The back panel on the Lasko looks like you’ll have to remove six screws, but I’m not sure if it’s really designed to remove and clean. Conclusion Choosing from a wide selection of very similar products can be daunting at the best of times. For something like a tower fan, there’s really just not that much to the hardware to differentiate one from the other, but Dreo does manage to bring a more compelling product to the market. With quieter operation, a large and bright LED display, more features, a more appealing design, and a better user experience, the Dreo 36” tower fan really does offer a better product than the Lasko 2511. And you’ll pay $10 more for that difference, as the Lasko only costs 59.99, while the Dreo retails for 69.99. Whether or not the upgrades are worth the extra expense is really up to you, but for a product that will last for years to come, my money is on Dreo.

The Dreo Tower Fan (Nomad One) has completely transformed my home comfort! The 25ft/s airflow is impressively powerful yet whisper-quiet, making it perfect for my bedroom—no more tossing and turning on hot nights. The convenient remote control sets this fan apart, which lets me adjust settings from across the room. Whether I’m cozy in bed or busy with chores, switching between the 4 speeds (from a gentle breeze to a turbo blast) or cycling through the 4 modes (Normal, Natural, Auto, Sleep) is effortless. I also love the 90° oscillation that evenly distributes cool air, the 8-hour timer for worry-free overnight use, and the sleek, bladeless, safe, and easy-to-clean design. Plus, its modern white finish blends seamlessly with any decor. This fan is a game-changer for anyone craving customizable comfort without the noise or hassle. Five stars—highly recommend for a cool, peaceful home!

WARNING: at full throttle, this DREO fan may blow small children and pets away! Jokes aside- when I plugged this thing in and turned it on, I actually jumped back a step and gasped at the wind power being this thing on full power (level 4)!! And, it creates a COOL breeze- doesn't just spit out hot air like me ex, and prior fans. I got this from Amazon "used-like new" for a STEAL and I will absolutely be purchasing a couple more to combat the unbearable Florida summers. It sounds like a fan- it's not loud but it's present. Oscillation circulates the entire living room and then some. As a standing fan its size is ideal to stick in a corner and feel the power! Build- again I got this used however it appeared like new and build/ assembly was that of a more expensive brand also beginning with a D.

I purchased this fan July 23, 2023 and now it’s February 16, 2024. It’s finally time to throw it out. I periodically would take the back off and clean it because I run it nonstop and it would get dusty. Now it cuts off and on by itself. I took it apart, cleaned it and my husband attempted to fix it but there’s no fixing it. It has a short somewhere but for as long as I have had it and as much as I ran it, it was a good fan.

Anytime I need a fan or heater, I go to dreo brand. They have amazing customer service that I didn’t even needed to use for years until now. Tina from Dreo customer service was fantastic in helping me with an issue. I’ve literally bought six fans of two different kinds because this company is amazing in price and quality. And I will continue to buy again from Dreo! Be sure to register your products so you can be helped faster if it’s ever needed.

As temps dip below freezing today, my wife cleaned the Lasko space heaters and we're agreeably, comfortable. But, the tower fan in the bedroom has been getting louder and a few days ago I went to browse heaters thinking Lasko has this. I'm a review reader. Amazon lists them all it seems like and the first thing is putting my cursor right on the the number beside the Stars. This way I see how new, how many are buying, and how they (whatever I'm shopping) compare. By studying the reviews I feel confident and correct, in the majority of amazon purchases, that here lie the views of users. We bought a Dreo 36" tower fan, not a Lasko and we just assembled the fan. ALL the fan has to do now is last at least ten years and we made out great. What a Fan- WOW!

This fan is strong, the wind on it is working great. My room tends to get hot especially from Arizona(hot state) and this helps a ton! I love the settings, you are able to oscillate the fan or keep it at one angle. There is no issues except I would prefer the remote to be able to work even if I am not facing the fan directly. You have to point the remote at the face of the fan to change settings.

El modo silencioso cumple bastante bien y me ayudó mucho durante el verano.

This is not a paid review or anything like that, I seriously just feel like this fan is a gamechanger! If I had this over the summer, I wouldn't have had to bother with a giant AC for my tiny apartment. I live in a middle unit of an older apartment, with baseboard heaters that need to be on during the winter, so it gets ridiculously warm in here and this fan might be the key to me actually getting to sleep when i cant have my windows open in -30 (thanks calgary). It doesn't technically blow cold air, but it feels like it does when it's directly hitting you. I read some reviews that said it was great for just air circulating, but i really found it to have a cooling effect. Even at its highest setting (4), it's not very noisy. If you are sensitive to sound, its a consistent noise and really isn't much of a bother. The timer feature is great, and when I miscalculated how many hours I would be sleeping and it turned off at 4 am, I woke up and realized my error because of the noticeable temp difference. I use the oscillating setting for when I'm moving around, and then like to face it directly at me when I'm sleeping. I was against getting a tower fan because every time Ive used one, it sucks and itls just loud and has some sort of annoying light. The display screen times out and turns off after around 20 seconds of being untouched. Remote is handy as well and it responds super fast to adjustments. Super easy set up, really intuitive. Worth the money!

Tiene buena potencia y refresca. Lo he puesto en la velocidad 2 y ha sido suficiente. Para una habitación chica incluso mediana funciona muy bien. Lo tengo mas o menos a 5m de distancia y junto a una ventana y llega bien el aire. El control llego con pilas y funciona bien. Me gustó también porque está alto y llega mejor la corriente de aire si estas acostado. No hace casi nada de ruido, lo he puesto en velocidad 2 de noche y no molesta para nada. Cumple y por el precio esta perfecto

this was in my living room this summer and kept me(and my living room) nice, cool and chill no noise.. can tell this is high quality with many menus to try.. wish i have this one in my bedroom, so i can use the sleep modus.. so the fan turns off after a period of time so i dont get too chilly at night I can recommend this one, it looks very decent too
