The powerful yet quiet Dreo Pilot Max Tower Fan can keep you cool without assaulting your eardrums. It operates at a sound rating of just 25dB—the equivalent of a whisper or rustling leaves. It can automatically adjust its speed based on the ambient temperature and oscillates up to 120 degrees to ensure the air flows evenly to every corner.

One of the first things I found about this fan is that it's extremely quiet. At a mid-level airflow range of about five or six it's almost undetectable. Dropping that level down to three or four provides almost complete silence. Even at level 10 or 12 it's obviously a lot more noticeable, but it certainly does not come close to making what anyone would term a racket.

This is one of the best and quietest tower fans on the market. Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is the Dreo Pilot Max Tower Fan and it's pretty darn nice. As you can see, it's really tall. This is a floor fan, but it takes up incredibly little space. In fact, it's 36 in tall, 12 in wide.

My thoughts: Great product! This tower fan runs smoothly and effeciently. I used it in several rooms to test (all cathedral cealing areas) and I could feel the cool air from across the large rooms at the loweset settings. In my recording studio I had to turn it down to 3 because it was too cold otherwise. Loved this product!
