About four years ago I got to spend a glorious week with a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. I loved my 7 days with what was at the time billed as one of the most advanced (and expensive) hair dryers ever made. Ever since I’ve been wondering about the long term; was the Dyson test a fad and I was just giddy with anticipation? Or is this hair dryer really something I should have just bought for myself back then and never looked back.
I recently had the opportunity to spend some more quality time with the Dyson Supersonic so I could revisit that initial experience, and see if I feel the same way after being able to use it more often and more regularly.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Dyson, makers of cyclonic bagless vacuums and bladeless fans and heaters announced its new hair dryer probably about 4-5 years ago now and it almost instantly achieved cult status. The Supersonic hair dryer features similar technology to its other products, but refined and on a much smaller scale.
The hair dryer looks completely different from traditional dryers. For starters it’s shaped like a cylinder and is open in the middle. It’s flat on both ends so it resembles a tube. That’s because the motor is not in the head of the dryer like traditional models, in Dyson’s case it’s in the handle.
Dyson Supersonic: What’s in the box
I received one of Dyson’s special gift sets, which arrives in a beautiful leather box with a plush interior. The box is a beautiful place to store your Supersonic when it’s not in use and looks luxe on the bathroom shelf (or you could use it to store makeup too!)
The dryer comes with a long, heavy duty cord (that’s 2.7m) and it does have a large and boxy electrical unit near the plug. There’s probably more than enough cord for most home users, and even for a salon. Indeed, Dyson describes this cord as “salon length”.
There’s a diffuser cone for managing curly hair, two styling nozzles that attach with magnets (very clever!), a rubber mat, and a string loop for hanging.
Dyson Supersonic Features
The Dyson dryer has some smart features that make you wonder why no one thought of them before the Dyson engineering team did.
Magnets
For starters, the nozzle attachments snap on with strong magnets, making attaching and detaching them ultra easy.
Computer guts
The dryer contains a computer microprocessor, which Dyson says is constantly measuring temperature, so it’s able to hold its heat settings more accurately, longer. Dyson says the ability to do that helps protect your hair’s natural shine.
Improved weight & balance
Dyson chose to place the motor for the dryer into the handle, which results in a better balance for the device. No longer will your blow dryer feel heavy after lengthy drying sessions (plus this dryer aims to cut drying time anyhow). With the bulk of the weight in the handle, it feels less heavy in your hands.
Ionic technology
Plenty of hair dryers today come with ‘ionic’ technology which is said to reduce frizz and static, and Dyson’s Supersonic does too. Negative ions are emitted from this dryer which should make things easier on your hair. I’ll report back…
Heat and airflow Settings
The Supersonic has 4 heat settings; 100°C, said to be for fast drying and styling, 80°C which Dyson labels ‘regular drying,’ 60°C for gentle drying, and a 28°C ‘constant cold’ setting for cooling, smoothing and setting your style.
Similarly, speed of the airflow is adjustable to three different levels; there’s ultra high for fast drying, regular and low.
How Dyson Supersonicc hair dryer works
The Supersonic dryer has 1600 watts of power. While that sounds like a lot, it’s actually quite common in professional or even drug store hair dryers.
Testing & My Review - Dyson Supersonic
I usually only dry my hair two or three times per week, mainly to try to keep it healthy, but also out of laziness; I feel like it takes up time needlessly.
With the Dyson Supersonic, I noticed right away that my drying time is shortened significantly, a huge plus. The other thing that’s immediately apparent is how soft my hair feels after drying. Like silk. My hair is easily as silky as it’s ever felt.
I decided to time my dry time with both the Dyson and my old Conair.
So, would I buy this hair dryer for myself? Oh, man, I really want to… because it made my hair feel great. At $500CAD it is definitely an investment.
Bottom line; if you can afford this dryer, if you dry your hair daily, if you’ve got lots of hair, or your lifestyle is such that a few minutes are worth getting back, you’ll love it!
The Dyson Supersonic sells for $499 CAD on Dyson’s website . It’s $399 USD on Amazon Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer (Iron/Fuchsia) - Věda a technologie
I love how she is speaking like a news reporter
she sounds exactly like a news reporter lol
She used to be one!
THANK YOU for an informative review without loads of waffle! You have a beautiful voice! Subscribed!
Erin, Well done review! The very best I’ve watched. You are so professional! Answered all my questions. Thank you Erin!
great video and fair review! I also found your videos are good resources for me to learn English lol. Love your tone!
Boy this is exactly what you want to hear about the most expensive product and Erin did a super job explaining it. She also can be a great TV anchor
Thank you 😊
I live in London and just got gifted a Dyson hairdryer. The european version doesn’t have the electrical box on the cable.
This is an excellent review! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the compliment.
Me encanta su voz 😱😱😱 olvide la secadora y puse atención a su voz 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 wowwww que hermosa voz, muy elegante 🙏🏻
Muchas gracias!
Love it its a good investment the only thing I'm not happy with when I bought it there wasn't a stand thst came with it and unfortunately you cannot buy it separately, They have now brought out a new model which is much smaller and ideal for travel
Good review, Erin. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant Informative presentation...very nicely done!...Thank you. 😘😊
Thanks for the compliment ☺️☺️
Thank you for this video, it’s been really helpful!
I'm so glad, thank you!
I love you video - you have a beautiful voice/tone which makes me want to hear more from you.
Wow, thank you!
Yup!! I went ahead and bought it. I should have mine soon! Yayyy!
You're pretty cool Erin! Thank you for this really objective and informative review.
Hi Adela. Thank you very much for the compliment. Glad it helped you. Will you buy one?
@@ErinLawrenceTV I didn’t get to it since my partner bought it for me. I’m positively in love with it to be honest, especially since it really saves time.
Nice review, thank you! Who can send a link with a good price to buy in UK? Thanks in advance
Well done! Great review.
Thank you kindly!
Amazing review, really insightful thank you!
Thank you for the compliment
Excellent Review Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
bought my mom one for christmas - hope she likes it!
I purchased. Thanks for the review.
Glad I could help!
Why am I just discovering this now this is a must have!!!!
Welcome to the club!😆
Hi Erin, thank you for touching on all the technical as well as basic aspects of this product. It is very helpful. In this video, you explained in Dyson hairdryer, one of its features is the ability to measure the temperature to adjust heat settings which help to protect the hairs from heat damage.
Did you share any video which has the comparison of Dyson Supersonic hairdryer V/S Special edition Dyson Airwrap Complete?
Since both products are very expensive.
If I purchase 'Special edition Dyson Airwrap Complete' (As have a need of hairdryer for my husband and a hair styler for me ), does the HairDryer come in 'Special edition Dyson Airwrap Complete' has the ability to measure the temperature to adjust the heat as well??.. the way "Dyson Supersonic hairdryer" has?
Please reply.
Thanks
Hi Swati. I haven’t yet gotten to try the Airwrap. But I am still hopeful!
What is the middle use for
I need to suddenly break my dryer now and drop a hint for christmas 😆😁💜
Yaasssss
Hi Erin, I am "blown away" by your review. 😉 Pause video at 5:28; beautiful smile. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
She does very well .. I would think she's a professional doing commercial or documental like a professional reporter very nice thank so much ... because of you I'm buying it with no questions asked
She says thank you!
Any idea of the lifespan of this dryer? Especially considering the price. Thanks
After a year it keeps cutting out . Very frustrating . I returned it and waiting for them to fix it or replace it . Too expensive for me to be experiencing this
Does this dryer wave ur hair
Great review! I bought one for my wife, so far I hear alot of complaints about the price I also hear alot it worth it. It is a bit pricey but it won't hurt with stimulus check😬
😃😃😃
I just picked up my dyson and wasn’t sure how to remove the diffuser nozzle so thank you so much for your review - I was able to remove it with ease 🙌
My dryer does not have the large box on the cable so that’s awesome ❤️
Woah. Maybe they’ve Re-designed it already!
What a thorough and helpful review, thank you!! I am feeling SOOOOOOO pumped now to try my new Dyson hair dryer today - it just arrived in the mail yesterday. I've wanted a Dyson hair dryer for years and, after strategically saving Optimum Rewards points for months, was able to purchase it for a grand total of $180.00 (after the points redemption) from the Shoppers Drug Mart online beauty boutique. Just a thought in case anyone is concerned about the cost (as I very much was!). I do believe this is an investment and do not plan on purchasing another hair dryer for at least another decade, so, over time I have a hunch this will be well worth it.
Well done!!
Updates? Worth it?
What do you think about it?
Great video 😘
Thanks for watching :D
If you use a metal round brush you wouldn't need to flat iron. The metal/ceramic barrel smooths the hair like a curling iron while the brush holes allow more airflow as you dry.
Thanks for the tip!
@@ErinLawrenceTV thanks for the review, can also add , if you use the attachment it will allow the hair to be blow dried in one direction, so no need for a flat iron. i may just buy one now ty
This sounds like a news segment loll
You‘ve definitely worked speaking on tv
Hola
Una pregunta se puede usar para uso profesional
Si
Do you also think your hair loose weight? To me it feels like my hair gets limp. I wonder if it’s the hair dryer? Or just this time of the year?
But I don’t read it somewhere?
Hair definitely picks up water; moisture can make it frizzy, oil can make it limp and dryness can give your flyaways. Time of year definitely impacts it.
@@ErinLawrenceTV but you don’t see difference when you use another normal hair dryer? For me it seems like this hair dryer makes it to soft. And flat. To soft. And that makes it feel like the weight of my hair is less. It’s feels thinner looks thinner
I would pay $200 for this, mostly because of the sleek design, quieter and stronger airflow. $500 is laughable. I'm using a 20+ year old dryer I bought at Zellers or Sears for under $20 and it still works great, with stronger than normal airflow. When it dies, I'll need to find something similar, but I will not be paying $500, unless I win the LottoMax jackpot.
It sounds laughable but I been using it for a year. I barely get spilt or damage ends anymore and my stylist don’t have to cut as much anymore. I have fine hair so I always had an issue with blow dryers. I don’t have that problem with this dryer. Plus I get no frizz. I also have very tight curls that come to about my mid back and this dryer cut my drying time in half. That’s part of the reason i think I’m getting less damage because I’m not constantly going over the same section. Yes it’s $500 but I figure I got my money back in needing less hair cuts throughout the year.
@@JaeGeminiis it still working for you?
This is not a dig, because I know the dyson is bad ass. I just want to know how do you dry your hair in 5 minutes? Great video, by the way. Very informative.
Thanks! I guess my drying technique is very effective? (Comb it out, dry upside down, focused air)
Bought TWO Supersonics. Both overheated, stopped working. Nordstrom's credited albeit were just days after warranty expired. Bought new one at Dyson NYC flagship. Stopped working literally at the two year mark when warranty nearly ran out. Dyson refuses to stand behind its products. They are aware given the thousands of complaints that the hair dryers have a limited lifespan and they malfunction with the same issues (overheating/not turning on). I bought in 2021 a European Dyson in Paris. I know it will be a matter of time it will stop working and I've only used it 20 times at best. Don't buy a hairdryer. It won't last. I was happier with the 75.00 turbo hair dryer that lasted 10 years. A $500 hair dryer should last an eternity and not fail at the two year mark or prior.
It’s a dream 😍😍😍😍😍 but 500$ 😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for this great video
Stay home stay safe
Thank you! You too!
Do you notice a buzzing sound on the box on the cord?
I haven’t noticed that, but now I will have to go and check…🧐
I’ve had mine since November and I feel like I just started hearing it
Please note that only the USA sold version have that box built within the electrical cord, because for some reason they still use the far less efficient 110 volt power supply, unlike almost all of the rest of the world. It contains a step-up transformer so you can use the 220-240V device on your power supply. Chances are it will make a humming or buzzing sound. Who knows, maybe one day the Americans might even catch up to the rest of the world and convert to the metric system too!!
Well..not to be insulting but if that's what my hair is going to look like after blow drying it I am not spending the money!!!! I'm so glad I watched this video first before ordering.
I want that 😳
Yes!
Very helpful review! You look like Anne Hathaway BTW, I imagine you hear that?
Wow, thank you!
Any hairdressers on here that use a dyson I'm thinking of investing
Is it made for black women and their hair types?
I don't know but I'd love someone here to weigh in if they know...
You should be a news presenter, if you’re not already.
Thank you. I did that already. 😂😎
Bellissima
It is a pretty nice dryer!
@@ErinLawrenceTV I was talking about you😆
There is no mini-computer in it, you've been reading the marketing rubbish. It contains a cheap micro controller and thermistor and triac to regulate the temperature, similar to many toasters these days! As most things Dyson, it is over engineered and 99% marketing to justify the over inflated price.
the price is so expensive this throw the money in the garbage
This looks erratic
lol digital engine!...
Didn't watch the whole video, but this hairdryer is like any other it does nothing special. It's pretty and chic but it's just a hairdryer simple.
You should try watching the whole video…
i had to get 2 of them....1 for each girlfriend..😭
Wrong - It Was Never The Most Expensive Hair Dryer - The Sedu Icon Prive' Was & Retailed For 700$ - - There Are 100's of Pro Dryers That Beat Dyson & The Dyson Is Way - Way Overpriced Like The Sedu Prive' Was - Which Was Made by VELECTA PARAMOUNT - Everyone Likes What They Like 🤗
If her hair is anything to go by it doesn't look worth it. Sorry.
Thanks for watching.
