Dreo vs. Vornado air circulators

New discount code (replaces the ones shown in the video)

The dreo air circulator is an impressive little fan, blows harder than the vornado. But the coolest feature is being able to control which way it points from a mobile app! This is a sponsored video.

I never thought you'd make an only fans video, but here we are 😂

You have to respect Dreo for just sending Matthias products knowing full well he's going to be brutally honest. Next time I'm in the market for something they make, they'll be at the top of my list

Respectfully Matthias, I think a fairer comparison would've been the Vornado 633DC "Energy Smart" fan which also uses a brushless DC motor and is the same price at $99. The Vornado also has a 10 year warranty. The Dreo does have nice features of its own (remote control, app control, and a breakdown design for cleaning) but Dreo is a newer company and it remains to be seen how their long term customer support is. I've used Vornados for about 15 years now and still and use my original 15 year old 510 compact fan. If and when my Vornados break down, I'll definitely look at a Dreo for comparison. Thanks for the video.

Mad props to Matthias, I had never heard of Dreo prior to this sponsorship partnership but he’s done more to sell me on their products than an entire Apple keynote.

I love your product testing. Even when sponsored, your tests are very comparative at actually testing what the product is. Makes me want to get a Dreo even though I dont really need a new fan.

How you make better and more entertaining sponsored videos than Billy Mays while being honest at the same time is truly impressive. Dreo certainly got their money's worth.

I can totally see a use for the app control thing. I have a combine living/dining area and having 1 fan be able to blow air in a specific section of the house sounds great.


Also to annoy my dogs.

[azyfloof]

It's good that the fan has an app to control custom settings and features, but doesn't *need* the app to give you good out-the-box functionality :)

[notdmhaha]

Your video editing skills are really picking up, seeing the past 10 or so videos they all have really smart transitions and cut down on dead time. Great as always!

[ehhhhhhhhhh]

Since I own two, I can say for certain that the brushless Vornado is probably just as good as the Dreo here. The brushless Vornado also is made out of nicer material and has an analog speed dial which I really like.

[Mario-yppn]

I am amazed at the simplicity of the methods you use. The cardboard trick is pretty cool. Please keep making these kinds of tests

[alexlundgren]

I just bought one. Thanks!

I've been looking for a new bedside fan!

All the smart features are cool. But your demo really sold me. I've NEVER bought any sponsored things from YouTube videos before.

Good job! Thanks!

Nice to see vornado have some competition on the high end, you can get clones for half the price.

[NotHypfer]

Vornado also has DC-motor based fans in their line-up that perform much better regarding power efficiency at lower levels.
For the EU 230v version of the 633DC, I've measured 2W at the minimum speed which also happens to be delightfully quiet.

Taking it apart, all that I found in that unit is one potentiometer, an ac to 24v dc power brick and a motor unit that is smart enough to control the fan speed based on the voltage provided by that potentiometer. Conceivably, one could probably retrofit those with Wi-Fi capabilities as well. At least there's a lot of space for an ESP8266 or similar in that case

Maybe a look at those models could be an interesting follow-up video?

[anahatatutu]

The comparison should be between the DC motor versions of both. Vornado 633dc would be a fair fight. Lots of very impressive test methods. Too bad you didn't compare comparable products.

[eh]

That pan / tilt function is begging for stage work. An LED, plumbed in fog source, and you have a pretty epic sweeping beam!

[Lykapodium]

I like your style, both quantitative and qualitative testing conducted! A+

[MatteaMazzella]

such a fun comparison, love your thoughtful testing. never thought i'd watch a whole video comparing fans like this but here we are! thank you!

[tscoop]

Awesome video! I was looking for this exact comparison of these two models and you delivered with exceptional detail. Thank you!
