Power Draw: DC fans typically use up to 70% less electricity than their AC counterparts to move the exact same amount of air.
Noise: Because they use a permanent magnet and run on direct current, they eliminate the audible electrical buzz or hum common in AC motors.
Control: DC motors typically offer 6 speeds and instant reversing from the remote, whereas AC fans usually max out at 3 speeds and require flipping a physical switch on the motor housing.
I didn't know the difference between AC and DC motors until recently and was quite surprised at the magnitude of differences.

Lasko Pro Performance 9-Speed Pivoting DC Motor Utility Fan [samsclub.com]
I called Lasko, and this is apparently a Sam's Club exclusive item. Their CSR was not aware of any other DC motor powered utility blower models. I really like it, but there are pros and cons.
Pros:
Very quiet and very efficient.
Speed 1 is 4 watts, speed 9 is 75 watts. My similar three speed AC model uses 157 watts on high and 147 watts on both low and medium.
Cons:
Doesn't move as much air as the AC model on highest speed. My guess would be about 75% as much. A MUCH bigger con for me is that the unit will not come back on after a power interruption! This is a huge oversight IMHO because these type of fans are often used in disaster cleanup and mold remediation.
