Dreo 40-44" Smart Pedestal Fan with Wi-Fi & Voice Control, Adjustable Height, 10 Speeds, 6 Modes, 23dB Ultra Quiet DC Motor - Perfect for Bedroom, Living Room & Office Cooling

I bought this fan after my son destroyed my dreo tower fan he deliberately turned on and jammed a pencil in breaking the tiny blades. he's 4 yrs old by the way. The tower fan was great but not child proof. So bought this pedestal fan that cost 3x as much. Is it worth it? I would have to see when summer comes around and how it compliments my AC. It has a nice steady stream of air no feathering like a traditional fan the dual blade design is cool I've never seen anything like it. But they don't real explain how it works. It could be a gimmic. It is really quite. The fan motor and blades are quiet but I could hear the motors used for oscillating. It almost sounds like I can faintly hear a dump truck operating very far away. I can only hear this in a very quiet room. It didn't bother me but it did have me looking out the window just out curiosity. There's two motors that make the head move up down left right so if you keep it horizontal you probably won't really hear it. A normal fan uses a loud ac motor and a knob that takes advantage of the spinning motor shift and gears so take that inconsideration. The fan won't tip over because it has a heavy base. The fan connects to wifi and can be controlled by your phone. You can set up this fan to work with your AC to achieve desired temp. It will sense the temp of the room and will oscillate vertically and horizontally at varying speeds if it's hot it will blow harder if it's cool not so hard. It keeps your ac from working to hard saving on power. The fan runs on 24 volt dc current which cost nothing so you can technically run the fan on batteries or solar power if you have the right adapters. I bought the fan because it's feature rich and space saving I'm sure the fans below this one work just as fine I forgot one thing the controls for the fan are low like you have to bend down or get on a knee, but they provide a remote with battery or you can control with phone. Update. Fan works well with ac and I like the natural setting that simulates sudden burst of a breeze good for when you're by yourself relaxing and you focus the fan on yourself. Because a constant breeze can make you feel cold sometimes. ?
