Cecotec EnergySilence 790 Skyline review
A straightforward 50 W tower fan, 76 cm tall, with mechanical (button/dial) control rather than a remote. Cecotec names the motor explicitly — 100% copper, branded 'CooperEngine' on its German and Italian listings — pairs it with a stated thermal-safety cutoff, and gives 3 speeds and a timer of up to 2 hours.
The bottom line The cheapest and simplest fan in this comparison — a mechanical dial, a named copper motor, and nothing else to configure — at the cost of the shortest timer here and no remote.
What Cecotec actually names
Most budget tower fans describe their motor as just “powerful” or “efficient.” Cecotec’s own copy for the EnergySilence 790 Skyline is more specific: it names the motor material outright, a “100% copper” design the brand brands “CooperEngine,” and pairs it with a “TermoSafe” thermal-safety system meant to guard against overheating. Whether that translates into meaningfully longer service life than a generic motor isn’t something we can verify independently, but it’s a more concrete claim than most fans in this price bracket make.
Mechanical control, on purpose
There’s no remote control and no digital display here — Cecotec’s own feature copy describes “3Speed Function” technology selected by button at the base, plus a programmable timer capped at 2 hours after which the fan shuts off automatically. That’s the shortest timer window of the four fans in this comparison; if you want the fan to keep running through a full night, this isn’t the one. What you get in exchange is a fan with nothing to charge, pair, or lose.
Oscillation without a number
Cecotec calls its oscillation feature “RotateWind” and describes it as giving “a larger ventilation angle” for a bigger cooling area, but at no point in the German, French, Italian, Spanish or English-language copy we checked does the brand state an actual degree figure. Compare that to the DREO tower fan reviewed alongside this one, which publishes a specific 90° oscillation angle. We’re reporting the gap rather than guessing at a number Cecotec doesn’t give.
Where it’s actually confirmed for sale
We checked ASIN B092J73VGC — EAN 8435484059190 — on all six Amazon marketplaces we track. It carries a live, priced offer on Amazon.de (≈ 40 €) and Amazon.fr (≈ 40 €) only. The same ASIN exists in Amazon.it’s, Amazon.es’s and Amazon.co.uk’s catalogues, with local-language product copy in each case, but carried no active offer at the time we checked — present, not currently for sale. We found no listing under this ASIN at all on Amazon.com.
Bottom line
At around 40 €, the EnergySilence 790 Skyline is the least expensive and least complicated fan in this comparison: a copper motor Cecotec is willing to name, three mechanical speeds, and a carry handle, with none of the remote-control or app features found on the DREO fans reviewed alongside it. The 2-hour timer cap and the missing oscillation-angle figure are real trade-offs, not oversights on our part — Cecotec simply doesn’t publish more than that.

Questions people actually ask
How long can the timer run?
Cecotec states a programmable timer of up to 2 hours — the shortest timer among the four fans in this comparison, and not an overnight option.
What material is the motor made from?
Cecotec names it explicitly: a fully copper motor, marketed under the name "CooperEngine" on the brand's German and Italian listings, paired with what Cecotec calls a "TermoSafe" thermal-safety system that's meant to prevent overheating incidents.
Is it sold outside Germany and France?
We checked all six Amazon marketplaces we track. This ASIN carries a live, priced offer on Amazon.de and Amazon.fr only. It exists in Amazon.it's, Amazon.es's and Amazon.co.uk's catalogues with no active offer, and we found no listing at all on Amazon.com at the time we checked.

DC motor · 106 cm · 9 speeds, 4 modes · 90° oscillation, 12h timer
A 106 cm DC-motor tower fan with 9 speeds and 4 modes (Normal, Natural, Auto, Sleep), a 90° oscillation angle, and a 12-hour timer — the longest timer and finest speed control in this comparison. DREO states an 8.53 m/s air-discharge speed and an 11 m wind-throw distance, but publishes two different noise figures — 20 dB on one market, 28 dB on another — for the same ASIN.
Best for: A bedroom or living room where fine speed control (9 steps) and the longest timer in this comparison matter more than height adjustment or a folding design.
120°+120° omni oscillation · 1 615 m³/h · 23–51 dB · adjustable height
A DC-motor pedestal fan with simultaneous horizontal-and-vertical 120°+120° oscillation, a published 1 615 m³/h airflow volume, and a stated 23–51 dB noise range across 8 speeds and 3 modes. DREO's height figures vary between its own listings — 89–102 cm on the German copy, 94–107 cm on the French, Spanish and UK copy — for what is the same fan.
Best for: A larger room where genuinely wide, dual-axis air coverage and a documented airflow volume matter more than price or confirmed US/UK availability.
8 000 mAh battery · 39–105 cm height · 12–22 dB · foldable
A battery-powered, fold-flat pedestal fan that stretches from 39 cm to 105 cm and runs untethered on a built-in 8 000 mAh USB-C battery. LIPETY states 12–22 dB across 4 wind modes, a 70° head-shake oscillation, a remote control, and a 1–4 hour timer, but publishes no airflow-volume or air-throw-distance figure.
Best for: A desk, tent, or small room where battery independence and a small folded footprint matter more than outright airflow.
