The Dreo fan I used was the Dreo Pilot max tower fan

clever thrust measuring setup!
-
That plastic bag demonstration was quite impressive. Really nicely demonstrates the difference
-
I am a big fan of this series, it really blows other comparisons away. It's a breath of fresh air!
-
I knew Matthias had a huge fan base but it really blew me out how big it actually is :D
-
These are the kind of videos YouTube was made for.
-
You touched on this, but what about plotting thrust versus power draw, to see how efficient each fan/fan type is at producing wind?
-
I actually bought this Dreo fan a few weeks ago from seeing your coverage of their Air Purifier, and I have to say I'm not disappointed. One thing you didn't touch on too much is the noise level, but I can't believe how well it blows for being quiet too. I like the white noise when sleeping, but in my office I appreciate less background noise
-
I love these videos, feels like a sequel to your one a few years ago about the best fan placement in proximity to a window. Very interesting and truly useful information for those who are technically inclined.
-
I’m using your trick to point the fan to blow at the window and boy does it work so well. So far no AC this year, holding out for July or later. 🥵

I guess each fans have their good & bad. Seems like it’s an issue that manufacturers are seriously looking into as nowadays you can get traditional desk/pedestal fan with propeller blades that have like 30 speeds & a brushless motor. I feel like tower fans never really catch on because of their weird wind pattern & the fact that they generally can’t point up & down, but I think Dreo is up to something here. I’d still take a traditional propeller blade fan over tower fans any day though.
-
You are building quite the fan base with these empirical experiments. Very interesting to learn what is better/different.
-
As I posted on your other video, your Dreo talk was enough to get me to buy... and I usually don't jump at buying sponsored content products lol. But I love that it's able to be set in a corner and perform virtually as well as a propeller fan, and look much better doing so.
-
Would have been interesting to see some thrust vs dB measurements and thrust vs W.
-
Although it was briefly discussed, evaluating the series of fans in regard to a ratio of some sort such as thrust to overall noise (turbulent flow, motor hum, etc.) may be interesting and potentially useful in helping decide which fans may be more appropriate or desired in particular scenarios; e.g summer workshop vs studying area or office in which zoom conferences may be held and the fan noise might be bothersome
-
Where else would you find woodworking, and fan thrust measurements!? I totally love this nerdy integration.
-
This is data about which I’ve been wondering for quite a while, but for which I never took the time to make the necessary experiments. Thanks for doing the work and for sharing the results!
-
Really love this kind of content. It's obvious you are very intelligent, with how you construct all your tests, so it makes for great trustworthy content.
-
This is a mad genius video... I bloody love it! The only thing missing (and something VERY important to me) is noise level too. If you had included actual db levels... this would have been hands down the most amazing fan video on all of YouTube!
-
Your workshop/lab looks like a great enjoyable place. Always enjoy your videos.
-
THANKS DREO!! this is important stuff. now we need a video on hand fans and high velocity fans
