Technical characteristics and smart control options of the Dreo 714S
The Dreo 714S is packed with advanced features, making it a comprehensive and ergonomic device. Its ceramic PTC heating system delivers variable power across three levels – 900 W for economical auxiliary heat, 1200 W for daily balance, and 2000 W for extra warmth in severe cold. The desired temperature can be finely tuned over a wide range to adapt to each situation and comfort preferences.
Among the standout innovations, the “3D” oscillation across 90° horizontally and 60° vertically ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the room, eliminating the typical cold spots of traditional fan heaters. The smooth syncing of these two movements is one of the technical advantages that clearly sets the Dreo 714S apart from its competitors.
The ability to manage the device remotely is invaluable in family settings or when you need to adjust the heat of a room before entering, for instance, by using the remote control while preparing breakfast, or by adjusting the temperature upon returning from school via the app.
In terms of programming, the timer up to 12 hours and the intelligent window open detection help avoid any unnecessary consumption: my office, somewhat apart from the rest of the house, thus benefits from prepped and adjusted warmth in advance, while keeping an eye on the electric bill.
The connected ecosystem of Dreo is also distinguished by the clarity of its software interface, the comprehensiveness of its settings, and the seamless integration with voice assistants.
This versatility in controls, whether it be via the remote control or the app, gives the device a real advantage for shared family use. For example: on a cold winter evening, I remotely set the device to stop as soon as the temperature reached the desired 21°C, avoiding any waste and maintaining a pleasant atmosphere until bedtime.
| Control | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Touch panel | Direct commands, intuitive navigation, light feedback |
| Remote control | Range up to 5 m, power and direction selection |
| Dreo App | Remote adjustment, scheduling, consumption monitoring |
| Voice assistants | Voice control, automated home scenarios |
Heating performance, airflow distribution, and energy consumption of the Dreo 714S
The strength of the Dreo 714S lies in its ability to effectively heat a room of 25 to 30 m² in less than 20 minutes, offering an enveloping and uniform atmosphere. Thanks to its ceramic PTC element, the temperature rise is nearly instant, and thermal comfort is quickly felt even upon waking. The dual-axis oscillation, either simultaneous or independent, ensures that the heat reaches every nook, limiting the sensation of “warm air currents” and temperature fluctuations that fatigue the body.
On a cold morning, I raised the temperature of the bathroom (approximately 10m2) from 17°C to 21°C in just 10 minutes.
Another somewhat extreme use case: after 3 days of absence in severe cold, we found the house at 10°C. It took about 3 hours to go from 10°C to 20°C, for an open living area of 40m2. Well, this is an extreme use, the Dreo 714S is designed for smaller rooms, but it gives a glimpse of its performance.
The eco automatic mode constantly adjusts the power to maintain the target temperature, switching from the lowest level (900 W) to full power according to detected needs. If the room suddenly loses heat due to an open window – a common scenario with teenagers – the Dreo 714S intelligently modulates its effort or goes into standby to avoid waste. This fine management optimizes the impact on the electric bill, especially during daily use.
However, it should be noted that this performance has limits: beyond 30 m² and in a poorly insulated room, the model reaches its limits as a supplementary heater. The heat remains comfortable but may seem insufficient in long volumes or in cases of significant heat loss – an important criterion to consider when choosing your heating.
As for operating noise, the sound level in standard mode is around 34 dB – an asset if you’re looking for a silent device for a bedroom or office. The airflow becomes slightly more pronounced at full power, but remains significantly below the discomfort threshold of a conventional supplemental heater, particularly during long home working sessions or overnight, where discretion is paramount.
Moreover, the fan-only mode offers a worthwhile alternative during hot seasons, eliminating the need for an additional fan, while preserving the programmable aspect and mobility that Dreo products are renowned for.
A connected radiator compatible with Home Assistant
As no surprise, this device does not appear to be powered by Tuya, as is often the case. However, since it is connected, a developer has managed to create an integration for Home Assistant. To do this, simply search for “Dreo” in HACS, then add your user account. Devices associated with this account are automatically added to Home Assistant.
Being recognized as a radiator, you get control via a virtual thermostat and its different commands:
You can thus control the Dreo 714S in Home Assistant, from a dashboard or scenarios, to trigger heating automatically according to the desired criteria (automatically when getting up is detected, to prepare the shower with a bathroom at the right temperature, for example).
Safety, compact design, and seasonal versatility of the Dreo 714S heater
Dreo has placed safety and robustness at the core of its 714S. Designed to withstand daily use with peace of mind, it features a fireproof casing, a dense grille that limits accidental contact, and a smooth oscillation mechanism, ensuring the stability of the whole even during intense use.
The range of integrated devices – 8 protection levels – includes a child safety lock on the controls, an immediate anti-tip-off device, and an automatic shutdown in case of overheating. These elements, coupled with CE certification, attest to the seriousness Dreo brings to managing domestic risks, an essential prerequisite in a home with young children or elderly persons.
It is strongly recommended to always leave sufficient space between the device and any object or textile, to avoid excessive heating or the risk of unpleasant odors during prolonged use. The use of the remote control and the app also facilitates secure operation, avoiding any unfortunate mishandling.
The reduced footprint of the Dreo 714S and its featherlight weight reflect a design aimed at mobility. From the bathroom just before the winter shower to the home office or children’s room, it meets seasonal needs without imposing itself visually or obstructing passage. Its fan only function opens the door to dual utility, eliminating the clumsiness of two separate devices during summer and winter.
Ultimately, we have an excellent quality-price ratio: despite an initial investment higher than that of entry-level models, here we benefit from a reliable, secure, and adaptable heating, optimized for modern life. A key player in smart housing, a true ally facing the increasing variability of the climate as well as the search for simplicity in managing comfort in daily life.

Can the Dreo 714S replace a main heating system?
No, the Dreo 714S is designed as an intelligent supplementary heater. Its performance exceeds many equivalent models, but it remains limited for heating a large house or replacing central heating, especially in very large or poorly insulated rooms. It is ideal as a complement, for bedrooms, offices, playrooms, or medium-sized living rooms.
How to ensure maximum safety when using the Dreo 714S?
Always maintain a safety distance between the device and flammable materials (curtains, fabrics, etc.). Activate the child safety feature from the interface when necessary. The anti-tip-off device and automatic shutdown in case of overheating act preventively, but it remains advisable to use it on a flat and stable surface.
What is the difference between the automatic eco mode and the other heating powers?
The eco mode automatically adjusts the power to maintain the desired temperature, optimizing electricity consumption. The fixed power levels allow continuous heating at the chosen intensity, which can be useful during very cold periods but less economical for prolonged use.
Is it possible to manage multiple Dreo 714S devices from the same app?
Yes, the Dreo mobile app allows you to add and manage multiple distinct devices in your home. Each Dreo 714S can be adjusted, programmed, or integrated individually into home automation scenarios according to rooms and uses.
Is the fan-only mode sufficient to cool a room in summer?
The fan-only mode of the Dreo 714S ensures air circulation with the same effective 3D oscillation, contributing to a feeling of freshness in summer, within the limits of a conventional fan. It does not replace air conditioning but eliminates the need to buy an additional unit.
