Dreo 4+

Well designed humidifier and app

Pros:
- Able to control all aspects of the humidifier via the app. I seldom use the controls on the humidifier itself.
- Able to monitor the performance of the humidifier even while you are sleeping because it produces a bar chart of the performance 24/7.
- It alerts you when the water tank is empty, when cleaning is required, and when the filter needs changing.
- It is WiFi enabled, so I receive alerts regardless of where I am. (I never miss an alert)
- I’ve only had the humidifier a few months, but so far there has been zero mineral buildup and zero mold. I attribute this to great design, buying the optional filter, and the maintenance reminders.
- Able to manage multiple devices from the app. I have just one humidifier at this time but it’s nice knowing I can network another in.

Cons:
- When using the timer function, at the end of any cycle, the humidifier shuts off rather than reverting back to the previous setting. And if you set up back to back events (one starting the same minute another ends), it gets confused.
- The humidifier beeps to acknowledge any setting change. This is a good thing. But it would be nice if we could disable the beeping when using the timer so it doesn’t wake light sleepers.

In summary, the pros far outweigh the cons and I highly recommend this product.

Hi, Path303. Thank you for supporting Dreo. We really appreciate your valued advice for our product. For the timer function, you can use the schedule function and set two timed ON routine to control the device. Then you can turn off the sound at the bottom of device's app control panel.

First Review App for ChefMaker?

It looks like this may be the first review for using the app with the new ChefMaker. So far both the oven and the app work great. My only complaint is that there are limited recipes and cooking guidance on the app. There doesn’t appear to be anyway to access or add recipes from Dreo or external sources. That would be so bad if you could customize the cook history. Currently, the cook history only shows the type of cooking method used and the a place to put your own comments. That doesn’t really help if I have cooked chicken 10 ways. I have to go through each cook history event to find the one of the 10 I’d like to use. A simple fix would be the ability to edit the cook method title so that I could enter, for example, “My Air Fryer Chicken Thighs”. Better yet, add a page when I could record my own recipes. As it stands now, the app doesn’t do anything for me. I don’t need an app to turn on the ChefMaker. I can do that myself. Hopefully, there will be an update in the near future as more of the ChefMakers are shipped from the Kickstarter campaign or sold online.

Hi, Zeerod. We really appreciate your comments about ChefMaker. It will help us to improve our products. 1) The recipes are updating through the time. Our team is working on it. 2) If you want to customize your history cook, you can try the "Favorite" function in the app. You can either add it during cooking or from history and name it by your own.

AMAZING!

So, my trusty Lasko fan had seen it’s day after a good 7 years and stopped working. When researching fans on sale during the smoldering hot summer days I was looking to purchase the same make and model. I was skeptical about trying a brand I was not sure (had never) heard of but after reading the reviews thought I’d give Dreo a try. And boy am I glad I did. This fan is beautifully elegant, not bulky, takes up a small footprint in my loft apartment and most importantly works. The fact that I can control it through Alexa and it’s own app is also amazing as sometimes I misplace the remote it came with. I can honestly say I got more than my money’s worth in taking a chance in purchasing this unit.
