I can't sleep without white noise. It's not that there's a lot of ambient or external noise that keeps me from drifting away to modern-day dreamscapes. It's quite the opposite. Our house is hauntingly quiet, which is a wonderful thing most of the time. But when sleeping, my tinnitus can kick in and all of a sudden that silence is sleep's worst enemy.

At the same time, I need a nice breeze blowing over me, especially during the spring and summer months.

Here's the problem with traditional fans: If your house has a lot of allergens -- like dust and cat fur -- those types of fans simply kick them up and blow them right in your face.

That's why an air purifier is a wonderful thing. Instead of blowing those nasty bits over you, an air purifier sucks air through a filter, scrubs it, and then blows it out. 

When I was contacted to review theDreo MC710S , a dual-motor purifier tower fan, I jumped at the chance.  

When the fan arrived, I was shocked at how large the box was. After the unboxing, I was still taken aback by its massive stature. This thing is big. Standing at roughly 46 inches tall, you know the MC710S means business.

And it doesn't disappoint.
