Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dyson has been pioneering with all air-related technology, and their Supersonic r is leading the competition with blow dryers. Personally, hair dryers are my favorite styling tool. I love that they are so versatile and allow me to do anything from straighten to curl with just one heat tool and a brush. Moreover, the accessories provide versatility for my daughter and I, who have different hair types. For reference, I have hip-length hair that is mostly straight, while my daughter has hip-length hair that is a mixture of curls and waves. She only uses the blow dryer with the diffuser to enhance the waves and curls, while I use it for anything that suits my whim at a given time. What’s included? The Supersonic r comes with five attachments: a powerful air attachment, a pro concentrator, a diffuser, a wide-tooth comb, and a flyaway attachment. The cord length is 6ft with a large block in the middle and is extremely bulky to store, but understandable considering the power of this machine. It also comes with a removable and cleanable filter. Quality of Product This hair dryer comes with the renown and trusted quality that is expected of Dyson. It uses innovative technology to minimize size and weight significantly compared to standard hair dryers, while also removing the traditional and cumbersome barrel at the end of the handle. The entire dryer is ergonomically designed to make it easier to reach all areas around the head and minimize arm fatigue. Additionally, the buttons are well placed so there is little chance of accidentally changing the settings. The material used on the handle area is soft while providing great grip. Functionality The attachments that come with the Supersonic r snap on magnetically. The magnet is strong enough that there is no risk of them falling off and it takes a good tug to remove. What I love about this feature is how easy it is to quickly swivel the nozzles in the direction that works best for each side of my head while drying. The attachments also contain RFID that communicates with the dryer, so it knows which attachment is being used. This in turn tells the dryer which presets work best but also remembers if the setting was manually changed when last used and keeps it there the next time. Results I used the hair dryer to do a blow out after a shower and I used it a separate time to curl spray-damped hair, both times using a vented round brush. I was amazed at how fast it dried my hair. It took about ten minutes total complete a blowout on my long, dense set of hair. The results were soft, sleek hair with very little frizz. After using the flyaway attachment, that frizz was gone too. Honestly, the star attachment is the flyaway for me. I will rant and rave about it to anyone because I can use whenever I see frizz, even with no heat, and it will take care of those stubborn strays. My daughter feels the same way about it because it is a bigger issue for her. For the curls, I used the pro concentrator, and curl dried my spray-damped hair, rolling up each curl and clipping it to my hair with styling clips as I went. I then pressed the diffuser on the pinned curls using low heat to ensure that no wet spots were missed and ended up with big bouncy curls that lasted two days with no product to hold them besides heat protectant. Again, I used the flyaway attachment to get the top frizz smoothed out. The waves persisted even after several days of brushing day and night. As for my daughter, she defined her waves using the diffuser with low heat on damp hair. She ended up with lovely waves and curls that looked even better the next day. She has been using the flyway attachment daily to subdue her curly strays at the top of her head. Damage? I have to say, having long hair means going to lengths to protect it and minimize damage. Because of this, we use heat sparingly and analyze it intently after using new tools. Of the several hair dryers I own, this has been by far the least damaging. I cannot justly say the split ends I found were not already there beforehand and can also not say that they were not actually caused by using the round brush on wet hair. Basically, the split ends I have found are so few and far between that I can honestly say I wholeheartedly trust the Dyson Supersonic r to become my main go-to from here on out. I may even air dry my hair less often now because the negative ion technology in the dryer has produced such sleek results in my hair that have lasted for days. App The hair dryer can be added to the MyDyson app for short styling tutorials, a guided video on how to clean the filter, and a few other things customized to this specific model. The only confusing part is some styling tutorials use attachments not included with the model, I surmise they may be part of the professional Supersonic r. It’s not an essential app but it is nice to have for when it comes time to clean the filter plus it automatically registers the dryer with Dyson. Conclusion I am in awe at how powerful this little dryer is. It looks like a toy, but it dries like a beast. It produces sleek, lustrous blowouts that last for days, whilst using less heat and causing negligible if any damage to the hair. It is so lightweight and fast that I do not deal with the usual arm fatigue I normally get from blow dryers. I think the Supersonic r will be hard to beat, as well as become the standard others will strive to compete with. If you are looking for the best blow dryer, your search ends here.

This Dyson Supersonic R Hair Dryer is outstanding! This is a lightweight, ergonomically shaped (for ease of use) and powerful hair dryer from a company that's been doing this for quite some time. I have the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer and have been using it daily for about 9 years and it still works great. I had the opportunity to try this new Supersonic R and love that it is even lighter than before. With shoulder issues, I am finding it more and more difficult to hold the older dryer, especially behind my head. This new Supersonic R is significantly lighter, smaller and it's perfectly curved making it so easy for me to use. This comes with 5 attachments that all connect magnetically - with a strong magnet. These snap on and you need to give them a good tug to remove them, so I know these attachments aren't going to fall off. When you place an attachment the first time, the dryer automatically sets to the power and heat setting that was programmed by Dyson's "experts" as the best setting, however you can change it if it doesn't work for you. And the cool thing with that is, once you change the setting - the air flow, the air temp or both, it will remember it for the next time you use that attachment. Because these are connected via magnet and don't need to set in a specific position, you are able to turn the attachment to best reach whatever part of your head you're working on. As a safety feature, you cannot operate the dryer without an attachment. Believe me, I tried! There are 3 heat settings, 3 air flow speeds and a cold shot that are indicated by an LED light. The heat is almost immediate and any change in temperature you would need, is just as quick. The air flow speeds are perfect for my use - on level 3, there is a powerful air flow that dries my hair extremely fast, but on level 2 I am able to control the drying while I style at the same time. And when I'm almost done styling, level 1 is great while I put on the finishing touches. I did have a slight problem a couple of times when drying my hair. I accidentally hit the power button that is located on the handle. This is something I have to learn not to do. The power button is recessed for easy use, which makes it easy for me to accidentally tap it with my finger. At the bottom of the handle is a filter that Dyson says should be cleaned about once per month. If you forget to clean it on your own, there is a small LED near the filter that will light to indicate that it's time. It is easy to remove and simple to clean. The Dyson Supersonic R Hair Dryer is an exceptional hair dryer that I am fairly certain will last for many, many years. The quality, the features and the ease of use make this worth the extra cost, and I'm worth it! I would very highly recommend this to anyone.

The Dyson - Supersonic R Hair Dryer in ceramic pink and rose gold is a game changer for numerous reasons, mostly is lightweight and ergonomically styled shape. As most of us know, we never get our hair styled at home when doing it ourselves versus what we get at the salon. Now I am not saying that all of that difference is overcome with this dryer, but its shape and lightweight plus the attachments does help out a lot to get the style you want in addition to protecting your hair from overheating and damage. I am 66 and currently dealing with a health issue that is causing my hair to thin and from what I have read, heat is not my hair's friend, I must be very gently in how I wash and style it. In fact, it is recommended that I allow my hair to air dry, but then the styling is not so good. So, what does this dryer come with? There are 5 attachments that are magnetically connected to the dryer tip. In fact, the machine will not start unless an attachment is properly attached and there are markings on the machine, as well as the attachment to make sure that it is seated correctly. The attachments are the powerful air attachment, the pro concentrator, the diffuser, the wide -tooth comb (which with cool hair is what I am mostly using to be gently with my hair), and the flyaway attachment. In fact, this dryer has quite the power and commercial-like load because it has quite the transformer, see picture attached, and GFI plug-in. Overall, what is not to like-smaller, lighter, and fast drying with multiple heat and fan settings for your drying needs, in addition a cool shot button to set your style. This dryer does not have extreme heat and because of its design allows the user to style where the user usually has difficulty getting to style.

While this Dyson Supersonic R Hair Dryer is smaller (and lighter) than the usual "gun style" models, I can already tell after minimal use, that it does a much better job than all my previous standard types of hair dryers I've owned. Right out of the box this hair dryer was easy to figure out. The power button, airflow speed, and temperature controls are right there on the handheld "wand," simple to use with a slight press of your thumb. The cold air 'shot' is located on the opposite side of the hair dryer, but is also easy enough to press when wanted. This Dyson hair dryer was much more comfortable to hold and far easier to and maneuver around my head. It’s also surprisingly quiet, too. The heat being put out by this Dyson hair dryer is directed to a 'specific' spot on your head of hair, dependent upon the attachment you've chosen to use. My favorite attachments, so far, are the pro-concentrator and default air attachment that comes pre-installed on the device, though the diffuser and wide-tooth comb ones are sure to be popular options for others. However, the flyaway attachment just seems odd to me and was a bit unwieldly to use. This Dyson hair dryer seems gentler on my hair, dries my hair faster, leaving it feeling smoother and softer. I also found my hair to not be as tangled or 'dried out' when brushing my hair after drying. I will say that the ultra heavy duty cord, and huge bulky power "brick" (which reminds me of those for my gaming laptops) seems a bit much. While there is undoubtably a reason for this with how Dyson designs it's products, the cumbersome nature of the cord makes it difficult to just rest upon my bathroom sink countertop, and having it lay on the floor isn't desirable either. This Dyson Supersonic R Hair Dryer allows you to dry and style with ease. Once again, Dyson figures out a "better way" with their innovative designs. Although, as always, this comes at a much higher price point. But the performance and build quality is quite evident, so the initial cost investment can be worth it as Dyson devices are certain to continue to perform for many years to come.

I have had the regular supersonic hairdryer for years, and I've loved it. I tried the R because I really appreciate the new design and how much smaller and lighter it is. I travel a lot, and being able to bring a hairdryer with me is really helpful. The quality is top-notch because at this price, it has to be. I will say this hairdryer works incredibly well, and the attachments are very well designed, but it is incredibly expensive. The one thing that you will not see in promo images is that the cord is a regular length, which I think is about 6 or 9 feet, but there is a power transformer brick towards the end of the cord, which adds a little bit to the bulk of the total package and makes it not as travel friendly as the images suggest.

I purchased the original Dyson hair dryer and have had it and loved ir for several years. This new hair dryer caught my eye and I had to try it. I never thought I’d find a better hair dryer than my original Dyson but this one is better. Upgrade!! You will not be sorry.

Love Love as in win win...the dryer is lite and easy to use. My hair looked fantasic and I felt good after using as I had my doults. I do think it is very expensive but all dyson products are abit pricey.

Buy this if you want something to last forever and convenient. Light weight and easier to travel with for those on the go.

Great lightweight hair dryer! Seems to dry my hair faster than my other Dyson. Like the fact that it’s not damaging my hair.

Best investment i ever made as a hairstylist i think now why didn’t i buy this sooner i Love it!

Dries hair so fast, super lightweight…kinda expensive but worth it !

Light, and much better performance than the last generation.

Slim and easy to use. I was expecting more for the price.

I purchased this at the Parker store this afternoon. When I got home , I unpacked it and tried to turn it on. It lights up for about 10 seconds and then shuts off. I called Dyson and was ultimately told it would have to be sent in for repair or returned to the store. I elected to return it to the store. $615.00 and dead out of the box, what a piece of over-engineered junk.

In the box is the dryer with power cord, attachments (powerful air attachment, pro concentrator, diffuser, wide-tooth comb and flyaway attachment, instructional manual. First Impression - This dryer is WAY lighter than all of my previous Dyson hair dryers and I can’t wait to see how fast it drys my hair. Disclaimer - I have 3B hair with daughters with 3C and 4A hair. My husband also uses the Dyson dryers and he has 3A type hair. We own all of the Gray/Pink Dyson Dryer, the Dyson Airwrap and the Turquoise Dyson. I also want to add that I have pain in my wrists and hands after I am done with styling my hair although all of my Dyson products assist with getting my hair done quicker. Dryer - Just a little note, the cord is same length as all of the other dryers. The handle is super lightweight and and still as powerful as all of the other dryers. I say this because I went ahead with the setting of the comb when I attached it and turned it on and the dryer was super hot pretty quickly. I definitely turned it down to medium and it immediately got cooler and then just to try, I turned to low and it did take about a few seconds to cool down but it definitely cooled down. At this time I am wearing my hair straight and the drying with this dryer definitely made my flat ironing (with my Dyson flat iron) even faster. It normally takes me 30 minutes to dry and 45 minutes to flat iron (I have really thick long hair). The drying still took me about 30 minutes because I dried straight from the shower without towel drying. The flat ironing was a little quicker because I didn’t have to pass through as much. I barely had any pain once I was completely done styling my hair. I do want to mention that I did touch the buttons once and turned off the dryer but I repositioned my hand further down the dryer and didn’t turn it off anymore. The attachments are the same as the previous dryers, except there is a symbol where the attachment connects to the dryer and the comb have a different design. I was a little worried about the spinning comb attachment but it was very handy when I switched one side of my head to other and front to back. I would like to add that this is definitely going to be my new travel dryer but I do wish that the dryer came with a travel bag or case. Overall, I love this new Dyson dryer and I would highly recommend it to friends and family because it’s so much lighter than the previous versions.

TL;DR: This is the best performing hairdryer I've used EVER. My family has a mix of hair types and the Dyson can handle them all. But for the price, and Dyson's reputation at UI/UX, I would have expected a simple accessories bag or case, and the power brick is clunky and puts a strain on the power cord that I'm concerned about over the long term. The Dyson comes with an impressive array of accessories to match any and all hair types. The included instructions have a very easy to use QR code for styling videos and tips on how to effectively use the accessories for all hair types and styles. The controls are very easy to use and understand, and the Dyson's power and control is truly unmatched. It's amazing how so much air handling can come from the tiny handle. The Dyson can produce a very focused stream of air, with very wide variation in temperature to allow for almost any styling choice or need. The accessories are magnetically attached with strong magnets, yet are easy enough to remove with a firm, hard tug. They're also RFID or some other type of coded so the dryer knows what accessory is attached and will automatically adjust to ideal performance settings. The negatives that kept me from rating this higher are the two baffling UI/UX choices from Dyson, a company that prides itself on UI/UX. First, for a nearly $600 device that includes an additional 5 accessories doesn't include some type of carrying case or bag to organize them is inexcusable poor user experience. Even cheap drug store hair dryers include a bag to hold the accessories. Second, and more troubling, is the AC/DC components are in a power brick attached to the power cord approximately 20 inches from the actual GFCI plug that goes into the outlet. 20 inches is long enough to accommodate the brick sitting on my bathroom counter, but that's one more thing to take up space and I'm also concerned about water or wetness getting on it. If your counter is more than 20 inches from where your plug is, it'll also dangle and is pretty heavy. Again, poor UI/UX design - at least let me know it's safe to get wet or provide some innovative way to attach or support the power brick.

I have had the Dyson supersonic for a little over a week. The Dyson came with multiple different “intelligent attachments” as they’re called. They are all preprogrammed to a specific temperature and airflow for optimal perfomance but can also be adjusted by you. The purpose of each intelligent attachment was also clearly explained. I have used the Powerful air attachment for quick hair drying when my hair is mostly wet. My hair is medium length and very thick so it usually takes a long time to dry my hair and I let it air dry as long as possible for this reason. The Dyson was able to dry it very quickly, less then 10 minutes and was not left damp at all. I have mostly used the Pro concentrator intelligent attachment that focuses the air as I use a round brush to dry and style my hair. With both attachments the Dyson supersonic is the quietest hair dryer I have ever used. My husband didn’t even know I was drying my hair the first time I went to use it. Though it is blowing hot air it does not feel hot on your neck or scalp as it does with normal hair dryers. But you do need to remember that the attachments get hot since the air is blowing through them. So be mindful if you are changing attachments during your blow drying process. Besides the lack of extreme heat and the quiet nature one of the biggest differences I have noticed is that my hair is smoother after I blow dry it and it lasts. I feel that my hair is less frizzy day to day between washes when have used the Dyson supersonic.

I’m going to start out by stating the obvious. Dyson products tend to carry pretty hefty price tags but there’s a good reason for that. Dyson products also deliver quality, and the Supersonic R is no exception to that. Two things that jumped out right away with this hairdryer are that one it was lighter weight than many I’ve used and then shape of it. Both of these factors jumped out at me right away as being hugely impressive and helpful. I’ve used hairdryers that are way too heavy and cause fatigue when all you want to do is finish drying your hair. I have very thick hair, which is great except that it takes forever to dry. But when you combine how lightweight the Dyson is, the ergomic shape of it (which reduces fatigue), and the power you expect from a Dyson product, you’re left with a pretty awesome hairdryer. It’s super easy and intuitive to use. Nothing confusing or over the top as far as functionality. It does what you want to do and it does it very well. The temperature settings were perfect for me, hot, but not too hot. And I like that you can attach everything magnetically, I felt like that was a nice touch and went with the overall quality of the product. Overall, I have no complaints and am incredibly happy with this product.

Dyson always makes incredible and innovative products, but this one stands out. The original Supersonic was great and worked fantastically. This one does even better. It's smaller, lighter, quieter, and more ergonomically designed. There are five included attachments for every type and style of hair imaginable. No matter what your specific need or desire is for your hair, this dryer will do it well and do it fast without overheating your hair. I don't understand the technology, but it's there. It has four different temperature settings, including the Cold Shot that deactivates the heating element to set your hair. The included attachments when placed on the dryer each have their own programmed settings to optimize the performance of the dryer/attachment combo. You can then customize these settings on your own, if necessary. No matter what hair-drying system you currently use, this one is better. Dyson also gives you a two year warranty to back up their product. My ONLY complaint is that there is not a case or bag included to hold the attachments. This is a small addition they could have easily provided, but it doesn't take away from how amazing this thing works!

This hair dryer has a beautiful design. Love the shape. The pink tone is really pretty. The packaging is top notch. I love nice packaging on my products. Everything can actually fit back in the box if you want to use it for storing after use. The attachments all work very well. They attach magnetically. The magnet is strong, so attachments don’t fall off during use. I love the feature where the device shuts off if the attachment comes off or is pulled off. No need to have to turn it off. This was a well thought out feature. The two attachments I will use the most are the comb and the attachment for simply blow drying my hair. The cons: One thing that I did find awkward is the way the handle is shaped when using the comb attachment. Because of the bend, it was a little awkward to use. Another con is: the cord is heavy duty and the part attached to it, can’t think of the name, but it’s a brick like piece. It makes the dryer heavy because it’s extra weight. I think the cord needed to be longer to avoid this problem. That piece needs to be able to sit on a table or floor so you don’t feel the weight when using the dryer. With it just hanging, it’s added weight. Pros: dried hair very quickly and evenly. Temperature settings are excellent. Beautiful design. Overall I am enjoying this hair dryer, aside from the cord issue, it is nice and light. I think it should last a while. I highly recommend it. Great job Dyson!!
