My husband suprised me with this Dyson hairdryer and bought it for me for my birthday. I had always talked about it since it's arrival. I had always been happy with my GHD hairdryer but felt it was getting heavy for my arm. As I had an operation on my wrist I needed something lighter and quicker.

Dyson is known for its vacuums, and while a vacuum isn't exactly something you'd envision putting close to your head, Dyson has borrowed technology from its modern vacuums and put it in this hair dryer.

Cool​ ​design; Light​ ​in​ ​the​ ​hand; Powerful​ ​motor

Ridiculously​ ​expensive; Also​ ​expensive; Not​ ​as​ ​quiet​ ​as​ ​expected

Hair dryers are the least glamorous part of looking glamorous. They're cumbersome, their cords tangle easily, and they devour precious drawer space. The cheap $20 ones barely get the job done, while $200 "professional" models only provide marginal improvements on the same old technology.

A smaller, hotter, and much improved hair drying experience; Smart design choices improve a frustrating product category in subtle yet important ways; Magnetic attachments can be rotated or swapped easily; Button placement prevents accidental knocks

Cord is bulky compared to the rest of the device; Diffuser attachment is only so-so; High price causes hesitation; Sure, this product took four years to engineer and the results are fantastic; But $400 nearly doubles the industry average for professional-grade hair dryers, and that's a big jump

The dryer is super cool if you're into technology and I can't live out with my Dyson vacuums however by the 3rd time I dried my hair I felt like my hair was breaking by my bangs. Even on the second heat setting it was super hot and burning my hands as I used a round brush.

Dries hair quickly; Magnetic attachments are cool

Even lower heat setting is still kind of hot; My hair felt like straw after 3rd use; Seemed to damage my hair

Dyson crows that the Supersonic is, 'up to eight times faster' than the current top-selling hair dryers in Japan (the country has a huge market for hair-styling tech, relative to its size), 'and half the weight'.

Very powerful; Light and easy to use; Great; magnetic accessories

Far pricier than any rival

With the cutting-edge Supersonic hair dryer, Dyson has turned its flair for sucking into skills for blowing.

Dyson's Supersonic is the most excited I've been about a gadget in months. Hairdryers aren't normally the kind of "tech" I talk about on CyberShack , but Dyson isn't exactly your average appliance manufacturer. When Dyson "reinvents" something, you can almost certainly expect it to be special.

Fantastic design; My hair looks better; My hair dries faster

Expensive; Pretty niche

If you live on Instagram and Snapchat and follow celebrities and ‘beauty influencers' chances are you have already seen the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. The ‘Iron Fuschia' colour combination is certainly unique, but what is interesting is the design and shape of this, and yes the price.

When most hair dryers will set you back £50-100, it’s tough to see exactly why the Supersonic costs a dizzying £300. Sure, it’s got the smallest digital motor Dyson makes inside it, and as the first of its kind the company can pretty much charge what it likes, but it means few people are going to be able to pick one up any time soon. If the price came down, I could see this being one seriously in-demand dryer, but right now, it’s a luxury. Dyson seems happy with early feedback though, so fingers crossed a cheaper model is on the cards. Buy the Dyson Supersonic here from Currys PC World

Smart design, light weight; Leaves hair glossier than other dryers; Cools quickly after use, won't make you sweat;

Seriously expensive; Actually pretty loud;

This is the gold standard. It is expensive, but if your hair would otherwise take 4 days to dry before you can scrunch out the crunch, this is worth it. I should add I have only used this with the diffuser attachment, a must for those with curls. It would be 5 stars but the practicality of the design (ironic, given that its from a design-focused brand) is not quite deserving of more. This is because there is no loop to hang it up, and I have found that my hand covers the air intake on the handle when Im using it. But I can forgive those things, I love it!!
