> At a Glance
> – DREO unveiled the TurboCool series at CES 2026
> – 17-micron mist evaporates fast, no damp furniture
> – Indoor 765S cools up to 10°F; outdoor 711AS hits 12°F
> – Why it matters: Quiet, hose-free cooling that actually chills rooms instead of just moving air
DREO is ditching the “more air or more water” playbook. Its new lineup, shown at CES 2026, swaps brute force for micron-level evaporation that pulls heat from skin without raising humidity.
How TurboCool Works
The system marries three hardware tricks:
- Ultrasonic atomizer splits water into 17-micron droplets
- Internal fan actively drives mist instead of waiting for airflow
- Dual-channel paths re-disperse any large drops
A custom brushless motor keeps noise low while spreading the mist evenly.
Three Models, Three Use Cases
| Model | Speeds | Cooling | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 765S | 12 | Up to 10°F drop | Living rooms, bedrooms |
| 516S | 6 | Up to 5°F drop | Budget-minded spaces |
| 711AS | Variable | Up to 12°F drop | Patios, 20-ft reach |
All ship in March 2026 on Amazon and DREO.com.
AI Without the Chip Overload
While the brand’s CES theme is “Ignite the Senses, Amplified by DREO AI,” none of the TurboCool units carry on-board AI. Instead, the 25-million-user ecosystem and smart controls refine comfort without algorithms inside every device.
DREO engineers stated:
> “Sometimes the smartest innovation is knowing when engineering matters more than algorithms.”
Key Takeaways
- 17-micron mist evaporates before it can wet surfaces
- Indoor models need no external water hookups
- Prices and final retail names will be released closer to March
- DREO sees heat-exchange physics, not airflow volume, as the next cooling battleground
The CES reveal signals a shift toward quieter, cleaner indoor cooling built on evaporation science rather than fan size.
