TechRadar Verdict
The Dreo MC710S Air Purifier Tower Fan ticks a lot of boxes.
Its powerful airflow and filtration helps keep your house cool while reducing dust and allergens.
One such feature is its dual DC motors.
The fan operates in four modes: Normal, Sleep, Auto, and Breeze.
The Sleep mode lowers the fan speed and noise, making it barely noticeable at night.
The Auto mode adjusts the fan speed based on the room’s temperature.
Note that you might execute the fan without the purifier, but not the purifier without the fan.
Overall, it compares well to the rest of thebest fanson the market.
Speaking of the purifier, the MC710S' dual filtration system includes a pre-filter and a True HEPA filter.
One of my favorite things about the MC710S is its smart features and remote controls.
The app shows near-live air quality data and lets you set schedules, which is a nice touch.
At first glance, the Dreo MC710S’s $300 price looks to be on the expensive side.
The most like-for-like alternatives to the Dreo MC710S are the $299.99Shark HC450, and the $239.99Hunter HPF500.
It also features a thin strip of light that changes color based on your room’s air quality.
The remote control features the same icons found on the touch panel.
Setup of these smart features is quick and easy.
This is nigh-on impossible with the MC710S.
With the MC710S, it’s clear Dreo has prioritized function over form.
As a fan, the Dreo MC710S works well.
It’s powered by dual DC motors and pushes air at a speed of up 27 feet per second.
The fan comes with four modes Normal, Sleep, Auto and Breeze.
The Sleep setting lowers the fan speed, and noise.
It took a fair amount of tweaking and experimenting to find the optimum parameters.
you’re able to’t disable these features.
On Breeze mode, as well as on the lower fan tweaks the fan is whisper quiet.
I barely even realised it was on.
Especially if you’re the one sat closest to it.
This makes it great for people with asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems.
During the first test, on the lowest setting, the particulate level rose to 880ug/m3.
It then took an hour and 15 minutes to return the air quality to normal/excellent.
A little more automation would give me peace of mind.
Speaking of voice controls, this soon became my favorite way to control the fan.
This convenience goes a long way towards mitigating some of the minor complaints I have about the unit.
I didn’t have the purifier on constantly during the four-week review period.
The filter only dropped to 98% during this time.
It’s intuitive, and everything is well-labelled and clear.
An image of the fan sits in the center of the app’s home page.
If you have multiple Dreo devices you could swipe left and right to access each.
In the next row is your current filter life, and the parameters menu.
As the air quality changes, so does this number and the screen’s color.
It’s also reassuring to see how the levels change over the day and how well the purifier responds.
Should I buy the Dreo MC710S Air Purifier Tower Fan?
During which time my kitchen was also being renovated and builders were in the house every day.
I also measured the volume with a mobile phone decibel meter.
