DREO Reviews

Hello there, I very much love this fan, and appreciate being able to control it with alexa. The commands work very well spoken alloud. However, many of the buttons and controls on DREO are either not read at all with voiceover, or are not labeled with text. For example, the tabs on the bottom of my screen read as “tab” instead of home and settings. The controls for the fan cannot be double tapped or read at all with voiceover. I very much like this product, but want to be able to use it fully. I believe apple can provide free advice to developers on how to make apps accessible. I would be happy to provide advice and feedback for improvement.

It looks like this may be the first review for using DREO with the new ChefMaker. So far both the oven and DREO work great. My only complaint is that there are limited recipes and cooking guidance on DREO . There doesn’t appear to be anyway to access or add recipes from this app or external sources. That would be so bad if you could customize the cook history. Currently, the cook history only shows the type of cooking method used and the a place to put your own comments. That doesn’t really help if I have cooked chicken 10 ways. I have to go through each cook history event to find the one of the 10 I’d like to use. A simple fix would be the ability to edit the cook method title so that I could enter, for example, “My Air Fryer Chicken Thighs”. Better yet, add a page when I could record my own recipes. As it stands now, DREO doesn’t do anything for me. I don’t need an app to turn on the ChefMaker. I can do that myself. Hopefully, there will be an update in the near future as more of the ChefMakers are shipped from the Kickstarter campaign or sold online.

DREO is great, and so is the fan I purchased. I do have two ideas that can improve the usage of DREO and fan. 1. The ability to switch to Bluetooth controls when WiFi acts up or internet goes out. Sure there is the remote but it doesn’t have certain abilities DREO has. 2. The ability to use the watch to control the fan. There are times I don’t want to get on my phone just to change fan speed or manually change the angle. With my watch, I can access it quicker. Very useful when doing a workout. A phone widget and a watch compilation would be good too! Especially with iOS17 and WatchOS10 later this year. I’ll give all 5 stars if at least a watch app is made, even if it’s in TestFlight.

Pros:
- Able to control all aspects of the humidifier via DREO . I seldom use the controls on the humidifier itself.
- Able to monitor the performance of the humidifier even while you are sleeping because it produces a bar chart of the performance 24/7.
- It alerts you when the water tank is empty, when cleaning is required, and when the filter needs changing.
- It is WiFi enabled, so I receive alerts regardless of where I am. (I never miss an alert)
- I’ve only had the humidifier a few months, but so far there has been zero mineral buildup and zero mold. I attribute this to great design, buying the optional filter, and the maintenance reminders.
- Able to manage multiple devices from DREO . I have just one humidifier at this time but it’s nice knowing I can network another in.

Cons:
- When using the timer function, at the end of any cycle, the humidifier shuts off rather than reverting back to the previous setting. And if you set up back to back events (one starting the same minute another ends), it gets confused.
- The humidifier beeps to acknowledge any setting change. This is a good thing. But it would be nice if we could disable the beeping when using the timer so it doesn’t wake light sleepers.

In summary, the pros far outweigh the cons and I highly recommend this product.

This fan is amazing while the manuel didn’t clearly state what each setting was for, DREO certainly did and made using the fan even easier to use. I love that I don’t even have to be home to use DREO . I can switch on my fan to start cooling the house down before I even get home. I love that all the settings can be changed on DREO and the fan itself. DREO is easy to use and very user friendly

The money I have saved by being able to keep the air circulating in my house thanks to my this app fans, has more than paid for them and allowed us to keep our energy bill low enough to afford a vacation this summer. I am thankful and will not ever buy another brand of fan. DREO features are seem less and easy to control. I would recommend purchasing a this app circulator or fan. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent features. Comes with a remote and iOS app. One of the best features is not just the vertical (and horizontal) oscillation, but the ability to set the width of the oscillation range. Even better it allows you to make that range asymmetrical, so I can dial it in to sweep from my head to my toes and back again when sleeping. It also has settings to disable the sounds and display on the device, so a few less glowing LEDs at night.

Use this to control a space heater in our garage. For most of these types of “product utility” apps I find that they’re like, not even an afterthought. They don’t work, they’re buggy, they look bad, and lots can be just UI front ends for a web page. DREO looks great, and most importantly WORKS. I connected to the heater in seconds, and it immediately worked. Then it continued working. If this app could bottle this up and sell it to printer companies they’d make trillions.

I have had my this app now for just about one month. Incredibly impressed with the cooks I have gotten. I’ve made steaks, chicken, shrimp, and even baked potatoes. The sous vide steak is absolutely one of the most succulent and juicy steaks I have ever made. The chef mode is fantastic and very accurate when you follow the instructions. It really is set it and forget it. Looking forward to lots more cooks and playing around with some of the new recipes that were just released and uploaded. This truly is the tesla of cookware.

Bought there fan because it connected to wifi (which was super easy to set up) and downloaded DREO and had no idea just how much stuff is on it. It has a simple fan UI which is super easy to use. But it also has a this app fan store where you can see all of their products they sell including purifier/dispenser. They also have a cooking section for their air fryers. Recipes and routines galore. Genuinely the best purchase I’ve made within the last three years.

I had needed a new fan for my living room for a while. I have a woodstove so it can get rather warm in here. Plus I need to circulate the heat. I did a lot of shopping and kept coming back to this fan. I kept thinking that no one needed to be able to control their fan from their phone, but it wasn’t that much more expensive so I got it anyway. I love this fan being able to adjust the settings as well as all the preprogrammed options are so much better than I ever thought it could be. If you’re on the fence all I can say is buy it.

This has got to be one of the better apps I’ve had over the years regarding home equipment. I think it’s neat that I can access my stuff from at work and even do firmware updates while on the go.

The best feature however has to be the access to any user manuals, instructional articles and FAQs regarding the devices registered to your account. The quick and easy access to this information has saved me from a few meltdowns.

All in all, good app with access to what you need, at home or on the go

This is the companion app to the this app chef maker. I have used mine about 10 times now cooking a flank steak or ribeye chicken thighs, bone in chicken breast and pork chops. This thing cooks everything perfectly. I had a bit of an issue with the pork chops because I was using a marinade from another recipe so I was adding excess moisture I would say, so the browning came out a little thick, but I love this cooker. I’ve tried air fryers before and the only thing I could cook would be something from Tyson made for an air fryer. This cooker has a probe and that makes all the difference in the world couldn’t be happier and I just noticed today they added additional recipes.

Simply put, the best fan I’ve ever bought. The simultaneous vertical and horizontal oscillation is game changing! I have an L shaped room and one fan comfortably circulates it.

The phone app allows you to control the oscillation. I have pets that like to bask in the sunlight on the floor, so I set the oscillation to not blow directly on them. That said, on the full vertical oscillation, it goes from floor to ceiling to truly circulate the air.

Another thing, even on high, it’s quieter than any other fan in my house and it works exponentially better than them.

I’ve only had it for a week, but I use it all day as I work from home, so I don’t know the long term quality of it. But it does seem well built, it doesn’t wobble like most fans as it changes direction.

Btw, the extra $10 was worth it for the WiFi connection. I have it connected to my Alexa devices so I can literally control it with my voice.

It’s rare for me to say this, but this actually exceeded my expectations. Like I said, I didn’t know this existed, the vertical movement changes everything!

Of all of the fans that I have owned over the last 40 years, this is by far the best. Not just it’s quietness, it’s solid build or complete control, it just works. We set it on the vent in our bedroom to circulate the cool air. It can oscillate up, down or side to side. I can use the very nice remote in my room or Wi-Fi from my phone anywhere when I’m not in the house to turn it on to cool the room before we get home. This is not the cheapest fan out there, but it is pure quality. You get what you pay for. I expect to have many years of use from this fan. In the end, I would buy this again without hesitation in a heartbeat. Thank you this app!👍👍👍

For years I used the highly rated LASKO tower fan (until a blackout shorted it out). The this app works just as well, if not better. It is quiet, light & highly functional. The remote is great as a back up but I mostly use DREO , in conjunction w/Google Home. DREO is extremely easy to synch up and use. In fact, of all my “smart” devices, the this app has been BY FAR the quickest, easiest & must intuitive. Literally, download, add device & go. Wish List: 1. please make functional w/AppleHomeKit — which is far superior to GoogleHome, and 2. if possible, please add a way to program the fan to TURN ON, not just turn off — as my bedroom heats up really early due to morning sun. Otherwise, great product.

So, my trusty Lasko fan had seen it’s day after a good 7 years and stopped working. When researching fans on sale during the smoldering hot summer days I was looking to purchase the same make and model. I was skeptical about trying a brand I was not sure (had never) heard of but after reading the reviews thought I’d give this app a try. And boy am I glad I did. This fan is beautifully elegant, not bulky, takes up a small footprint in my loft apartment and most importantly works. The fact that I can control it through Alexa and it’s own app is also amazing as sometimes I misplace the remote it came with. I can honestly say I got more than my money’s worth in taking a chance in purchasing this unit.

At first I had connection issues but the company fixed it right away with an update people plz be patient these fans are amazing when ever u have an issue just hit the calibration option it will fix the oscillation right away and check for updates there’s always one every few days and the fan gets better and better everyday and make sure you keep them clean so easy to take apart and clean In under 10 min enjoy your fan as much as I have enjoyed mine I’m about to buy the air conditioner soon been saving up for it can’t wait to get it I’ll keep you all posted and review it once I do get it best fans on the market can’t wait to get the air conditioner 💪🏻🙏🏻

My first this app was purchased through the ChefMaker Kickstarter program. From the first BuyNow throughout the entire kickstarter campaign, this app gave top notch follow through. Since that first device, several more this app products have been added to both my daughter’s apt as well as my home. What has recently become the best feature is the ability to control all of the this app Smart devices at my home while I am away from there. I have to spend a lot of time at my daughter’s apartment as she needs 24/7 care. DREO allows full control plus some. Next up in my this app family will be the wall-mounted heater and eventually all ceiling fans will be replaced with this app Smart ceiling fans. In addition to top notch products, this app’s Customer Support has been spot on when I have any questions.

$80 was totally worth the humidifier. i love it! i love all the features it has, mainly the ability to control it with alexa. i love how it can do cool and warm mist. i love the ambient light, and overall it’s look. there are however 2 things that could make it better. 1, i wish you didnt have to clean it as much as you do. 2, the humidity reading on it goes all over the place, even though my other hygrometers stay leveled. i think there should be settings that change how often it changes, and also to calibrate it. last night i had it on 62%, but it read lower than my hygrometers did, which was 66%. my windows were condensated. if you can improve those things, the humidifier will be 100% good. other than that, i love it and i think it was worth the price
