The Nomad One is a slim, well-priced tower fan with the basics a bedroom needs. Dreo lists airflow at up to 28 feet per second, the highest of the tower fans here, with 4 speeds, 90 degree oscillation and an 8-hour timer. Its Sleep mode lowers the speed every 30 minutes, dropping by two levels at most and holding steady once it reaches level 1, so the fan winds down after you fall asleep. The tower stands 36.22 inches tall, is rated at 42 W and assembles without tools. The main gap for this list is noise data: Dreo does not publish a decibel figure for the Nomad One, so we scored it on features rather than a measured floor. Only four speeds and a 12-month warranty also hold it back against the Lasko and Levoit picks. At $79.99, with a Wi-Fi version sold as the Nomad One S, it is a sensible choice for a small room.
Who it is for
Small bedrooms and narrow corners where a slim, low-cost tower fan with a sleep mode is enough.
