DR.PREPARE Tower Fan for Bedroom, 25 dB Quiet DC Bladeless Fan with Remote, 8 Speeds, 1-8H Timer, 80° Oscillating Fans for Indoors, 16 Inch Portable Desk Table Fans for Room, Home, Office

UPDATE: I've had this fan almost a year now. It has been running constantly last summer into fall (on high) and 3 months so far this year (mid to high setting). I have had no issues with unusual noises, odors, or failures. I've been using the oscillation continuously as well for the last 6 weeks (all day, all night, every day as I did last summer/fall without oscillation) For $40 I consider this a good purchase and would buy another if/when needed. The only improvement suggestion I would make to the manufacturer is to increase the range of the remote. You have to be fairly close; approx. 3-foot range directly in front of the sensor on the front of the unit. I haven't needed to change the battery in the remote, however as it runs continually, I'm not using it to turn on/off daily, but this year have occasionally changed the speed between medium and high using the remote. Original rating of 5 stars; no change. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've only had this fan for a couple weeks, but it has been running on high setting 24/7 the entire time without the oscillation. So far (🤞), no noises or issues with functionality. It does provide a little background sound (like a fan will do) but it's not out of the ordinary/excessively loud. It's used in a respectably-sized bedroom, not overly large, but roomy, with a second fan on the other side of the room to create circular air flow while the AC is out. It's July and hot in the south and although fans don't cool the air like AC, I'm not sweltering with this set up. One is set higher than the other as this one isn't very tall, but also doesn't need a large surface space either. This would be a nice fan for a small office space or smaller bedroom alone with AC. You do need to point the remote directly at the LED readout (not from the side) for it to respond, but that isn't odd. The remote came with a battery installed; I can't speak to the longevity of the battery provided yet. The LED readout is a little bright (white not blue) but isn't a problem for me as it isn't right next to my face. If used on a bedside table it might be bothersome to some if facing the bed. It lights up, but it doesn't "project" a lot of light. Speed tests from approx 6' away: Setting 1 is hardly audible, but useless unless you are right next to it; air flow is miniscule at 6'. Setting 2 isn't much different from 1, but might be fine sitting at a desk with this by your feet or on the desk for slight air movement. Still extremely quiet. Setting 3 still quite quiet with a light breeze close up Setting 4 start to hear the fan, light breeze close up Setting 5 starts to sound like a fan is actually running and begins to put out air flow many other small fans might on low. Setting 6 slightly higher than 5 in sound and air flow. Setting 7 a bit louder than 6, as some small fans might sound on medium or high with air flow felt 6' away. Setting 8, sound gets louder, but quieter than some fans on medium with a definite breeze 6' away. It won't blow you over, but this isn't a shop fan either. With AC, this should provide air flow in a small room without another fan, or cooling effect up close by the bed or on a desk. With 8 levels, oscillation, REMOTE, & small footprint, if this unit lasts a while it will be worth the $40 price tag. However, if you need a lot of air flow across the room, a large fan (Vornado) or multiple small fans (I also have a stationary 8 or 10" by this maker for $20) would be recommended. A small fan isn't going to do the work of a large fan, but this one does a pretty good job for it's size. The few small fans with remotes are more expensive. The big test is how long will it last. With my continual use, if it lasts thru the end of the summer on high I'll consider it a good buy for the price. I've had other less expensive small fans that worked great but did not oscillate or tilt (stationary) and certainty didn't come with a remote... or a strange name! Lol If it quits working in a short amount of time, I'll update my review.

I use this in my office because the office tempature fluctuates throughout the day. It works like a charm . It keeps me cool so that I'm comfortable at work and I love the convience of the remote. It is small enough to keep on the desk and looks great. It have a lot of airflow and is quite so it didn't distract me from work.

Needed a fan cause we lost our AC on the hottest day! This fan worked wonders to help fill a room and make it live able! It’s quiet, easy to use, slim look and cooling effect was worth every penny!

I tried this fan in place of my 16" Vornado mini tower in the living room. It cannot send a stream of air 15 feet like the Vornado. It just struggles to send a stream of air that far. So I bought it into the bedroom to use while sleeping. It does a much better job as the fan is only 5 feet from my bed. When moving from side to side it sends a stream of air across the bed that is satisfying. Its also very quiet when used like this. A good fan for the money but doesn't have the projection power of my old Vornado mini tower.

Perfect size for college dorm desk. Fairly quiet, strong motor blows a lot of air. Comes with a remote for easy access.

Awesome! Highly adjustable! This is the best fan I’ve ever owned and I couldn’t recommended any higher. It’s whisper quiet but you can crank it up and it really puts out a lot of air! Simply the best fan I have ever owned!

My Dreo fan failed after one year. So I had to shop for another one. One fan with blade was too loud and tired for my liking. Then, I’m glad to buy this Dr. Prepare fan because it’s super quiet, yet cool even at level 1. Settings are so clear and easy to use. Love all the features. It’s also openable to clean as needed. I hope it can last long.

It’s a good fan but rather noisy.
