DREO 720S has earned a Best of IFA 2026 selection from Techaeris for changing airflow rather than merely raising heater output. The new whole-room heater uses a motorised top section to switch between a focused stream and 360-degree distribution, a practical attempt to make one appliance serve both personal and room heating.
Why the DREO 720S stood out at IFA
Most portable heaters offer power levels and oscillation, but the air outlet itself remains fixed. DREO’s approach is mechanical: the upper guide rises for broader distribution and retracts for a more concentrated flow. Techaeris selected the product after seeing it at Messe Berlin, while Spanish outlets Cadena SER and Numerama separately described the same two-mode design.
The distinction matters because comfort is not determined by wattage alone. A narrow jet can warm one person quickly, while a wider pattern can reduce cold spots across a room. The DREO 720S is therefore best understood as an airflow product wrapped around a conventional ceramic heat source.
| Detail | Verified position |

| Heating element | 1,500W PTC ceramic |
| Airflow modes | Focused and 360-degree whole-room |
| Claimed sound | 25dB |
| Coverage | Up to 25 square metres |
| European price | €119.99 reported by Numerama |
What buyers should verify
DREO says the forward-curved centrifugal fan and brushless motor keep operating noise to 25dB, and the heater can change temperature quickly. Those are manufacturer claims, not a substitute for measurements in differently sized rooms. Curtains, insulation, ceiling height and placement can all change real comfort and consumption.
The reported European price makes the DREO 720S more expensive than a basic fan heater. Its case rests on better distribution and quieter use, not on creating more heat from the same electricity. Buyers should compare measured room temperature, sound at a stated distance and energy used over an identical test cycle.
The DREO 720S is a portable ceramic heater whose motorised outlet changes between targeted and whole-room airflow; the innovation is how it directs heat, while efficiency, noise and coverage remain claims to verify in independent tests.
DREO 720S and the connected-home shift
DREO presented the heater alongside its Air Intelligence system and new purifiers. That places it within a broader connected-comfort strategy, much like the coordinated appliance logic in Haier’s AI smart-home showcase. It also echoes the emphasis on physical mechanisms seen in Midea’s drying-system redesign, even though the products solve different problems.
For India, the direct relevance is limited until regional availability, voltage support and service are confirmed. The useful lesson is broader: appliance makers are using sensors and moving components to shape how energy reaches a room, not simply adding an app to familiar hardware.
A practical buying checklist
Buyers should first match the heater to the room rather than relying on the largest coverage figure. A closed bedroom, an open living space and a draughty office lose heat differently. A retailer should identify the supported floor area, the thermostat range and whether the appliance remembers settings after a power interruption.
Safety deserves equal attention. The final manual should specify tip-over protection, overheat shutdown, surface-clearance requirements and whether the unit can be used on carpet. Smart control must never encourage remote operation where combustible material could be nearby. Finally, compare the warranty and replacement route with established local brands. A quieter outlet and better distribution are useful only if the heater remains serviceable through several winters. These checks turn an attractive IFA demonstration into a more grounded purchase decision.
FAQs
What is the DREO 720S?
It is a 1,500W portable ceramic heater with a motorised outlet that switches between focused and 360-degree airflow.
When will the DREO 720S be available?
European coverage reports a €119.99 price, but country-by-country dates and Indian availability were not confirmed in the reviewed sources.
Does the heater really run at 25dB?
DREO states 25dB operation. Independent testing should confirm the measurement distance, mode and room conditions.
