Dreo Smart Ceiling Fan with Lights, 52 Inch, 12 Speeds & 3 Fan Modes, Stepless Color Tones, Dimmable LED Light, 12H Timer, Quiet DC Motor, Remote/APP/Alexa Control, White Ceiling Fans Indoor

We bought the smart fan that works with Alexa. The fan & light are great. The fan is very quiet. The light is bright on the highest setting. Decreased the brightness to 10% for bedroom use.It ended up being an all-day project to put it up. A lot of that time was taking down the old fan and bracket. Plus, I had to run to the hardware store to pick up a few items.The actual installing the Dreo fan took about an hour. We played the installation video as we put the fan together. Pretty straight forward. We had to use a long skinny screwdriver to put down the support rod while trying to push the cotter pin through the rod. The power wire kept getting in the way. Also, had to take the rod off and put back on because we forgot to put the upper and lower plastic hoods on the rod before putting it on. The installation video clearly showed how to do it, we just missed it.Anchoring the new fan mounting bracket took some time. We probably over anchored it, but we added 2 additional sheetrock toggle anchors. The fan comes with two wood screws. We chose to use our own 3" woodscrews to screw into the rafter. Then we used two 90lb toggle anchors. The bracket is now very secure.Putting the fan on to the bracket went well. The only issue was the installation video made it look like you needed to rotate the fan in order to lock it into the bracket. In reality, you just to line the fan mounting ball notch with the bracket's back middle. You can see a little protrusion on the inside bracket back. Then just slide it in. Once in, you shouldn't be about to rotate the fan.The wiring was a little tricky. The installation video shows how to put up a new fan. We were replacing an old fan with light switch and fan switch. The smart fan does not use the light or fan switches. You control it via the remote or whatever smart home app you use. I could not find any good videos that covered what you do with the light switches.In the end I found someone who suggested leaving one switch to turn the power on and off to the fan in case you needed to. I suggest still turning off the breaker in this situation. I left the old fan's light switch. Since the new fan doesn't need to be powered off and on with the switch, the power switch will always be on the "on" position.I removed the old fan's fan switch. That meant that in a double electrical box I had an empty spot where the fan switch use to be. I could have left the fan switch and just not hooked it up, but I didn't want to leave a switch that didn't do anything. I ordered a new light cover (Leviton 80706-W WH WP 2G 1TGL/1 BLANK STRAP MNT). This cover has a switch opening and then the other side is blank.The old fan's wiring had 4 wires going from the switches to old fan's light and fan. The Dreo fan only needs 3. I checked the colors of the wires at the light switch to makes sure that I was hooking the right power wire up to the fan. I had two old power wires (red & black). One for the old fan's light and one for the fan. I made sure that the black wire was hooked up to the switch that I left hooked up in the box. I used that black wire for power to the Dreo fan/light. I capped the old red wire in the light switch box and also up at the fan.On all my fan electrical connections, I used the Wago toggle electrical connectors (WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts 75pc Wire Connector Assortment Pack with Case). They are so easy to use and made an easier connection between stranded and solid wire.The only other issue was that I couldn't find a lot of info on how to use the Dreo ceiling fan with Alexa. To pair it, you just use the Dreo smart app. When I went to add a device, it recognized the fan without me having to do anything. Worked great. Once set up in the Dreo app, Alexa added it also.I could not find a lot of info on show to control it via Alexa voice commands. Basically, most of the commands you give control the fan. Through trial and error, found how to control the light. Most of the fan speed and brightness setting you just tell Alexa a number. For instance, "turn ceiling fan light to 3". With Alexa, you can set up routines to turn on and off the fan at certain times. Also, you can do a lot of other things. Alexa is the reason we went with the smart fan instead of the standard version.All-in-all this is a great fan. Even though we have fans throughout the house, I think eventually we will change some of them to the Dreo smart fan in the future.

Great fan! We bought this to replace an older fan that had pull cords that had gotten stuck. LOVE the remote and the wide range of speeds it can benefit from set at. I think it's very stylish and it's quiet! I like the wood side of the blades and the black just looks classy. We haven't used the lights yet, but I know it'll be better than the dim light we got from our old fan. It wasn't too hard to put up. It came with a full paper manual and we also used the video on Amazon. Just take your time. I bought this because we have Dreo floor fans and they are also fantastic.

Replacing old fans with this fan was the best idea we've had in a long time. These were pretty easy to install, and come w/a remote. These look nice. They are shorter than many ceiling fans so you can use them in low ceiling rooms. They're energy efficient, They put off TONS of light compared to every other ceiling fan we've had and you have multiple settings so you can dim or brighten them. They put out a lot of of air flow, have 6 speeds, all of which are effective. They are reasonably priced, though the first two I bought a month earlier than the last were $15 cheaper.

Love it so far. Has been installed for a few hours. Good quality parts. Fan is very quiet and has a good breeze. I purchased a Dreo oscillating floor fan a while back and really love it. Love the app. Very easy to set up. The remote functions well. I am happy to rid myself of the old wood fans with chains hanging down. My only dislike is the light. The plastic is pretty ugly. When the led is off it's not that noticeable but with the led turned on and it beams through the plastic cover it's cheap looking. And the overall shape and size of the plastic light cover is a little large and awkward. If I were to see the fan in person before purchase I might likely have chosen another style.
