Title: Dyson Hair Dryer: The Dyson Supersonic™
Post by: Parwaz7862 on April 25, 2016, 10:50:02 pm
Watch out GHD, Dyson might be taking over hair care now! It's deffo a beauty product and has a motor so it's deffo a hairdryer I believe  :icon_nod: Mine broke last week so will wait to see how much this is, bet it's over £100 though sadly

As always, far too expensive...

The most expensive hair dryer I seem was a £120 one in Argos, it also straightens your hair and has different speed settings as well as heat temperatures so unless the Dyson one is better than that, it should remain under £120

Maybe Dyson should concentrate on making a vacuum that doesn't self destruct when you look at it !

The usual Dyson sheep will follow with the "must have" attitude, In reality however it will be cheaply constructed have below average reliability and be heavily discounted making it impossible for retailers to maintain the RRP.

I want a Satin blue Dyson Supersonic (the colour of a DC41 cyclone) I think that would be really nice for men. Also, the coloured part is the back of the product :o The other side is where it blows
This is all over Facebook! ;D People love it, I hope to get one when the prices are lower
Meanwhile I am going to buy this:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4434122.htm

I had one of these for a few months but it broke last week. Was good but has a really short cable which is around a metre and a half but I like the different speed settings, temperature settings and a cool button ;D

Dyson products are always fairly expensive. I can accept a 400 pound vacuum, vacuums on the whole are fairly expensive for small appliances. For things like this though, where one can be had for a tiny, tiny fraction of the price I really can't understand.

Dyson vacuums here in the US aren't even the most expensive cleaners you can get, but they are good and have substantial advantages over some others. This is the same reason I won't buy one of their fans, too expensive for not enough tangible advantages (for me) over a substantially cheaper fan.

How much better can it actually be?

I just read in the paper that Dyson's profit is £448m on sales of £1.7b. 26% is quite a high bottom line for a manufacturer who spends so much on warranty claims and marketing. I wonder what those hairdryers cost in Malaysia to make? About £20 tops is my guess. Double it for shipping, import duty, VAT and distribution. That still leaves a very healthy profit on an easy-to-ship small item.

I bet they only have a two year guarantee like a fan.

The cordless version will be out within a year or so. By then, they will likely have ironed the early faults out. I bet the price will go up then too.

I reckon they will sell quite well, mainly to posh stuck up people who have to have the latest tech

Like this annoying yet attractive bird in this review


Of course, all the styling/fashion people/shows will buy them by the bucket load, so they will be deemed a success, then Argos/QVC will sell them on buy now pay later/monthly payments and the average chav will get their hands on them.

There's a YouTuber called "Zoella" who has over 10,00,000 subscribers and I'm waiting for her to buy one and review it lol, literally most people under the age of 25 know her and I'm sure she would do some sort of product placement maybe.

Companies always send her products for no reason too, she even got given a Bissell carpet cleaner once from the company!

Most YouTubers I know own Dyson products (like vacuums and fans) I see in the background of their vids all the time. ;D

Either that or a house brick in a box.

But then gumtree, so you could knock on his door, show him the money but then request the box to be opened, then see

Of course you may be jumped on by 14 of his mates when you find out it's a scam, and it'll probably not be worth it

Looks good! I really hope they do the chrome satin blue colour (DC41 cyclone colour) I would love that!
Men need hairdryers as well lol, a pink or white one looks a bit feminine imho

I agree with that, but the problem is they're expensive... I imported one from Germany because it was better than the ones sold here... I had to send it back because it broke point is Dyson will charge £700 plus for an A/C unit... I'd rather bake in my own sweat.

I know from my travels abroad that Mitsubishi pretty much own the home AC market. In fixed through wall installations, at least. Stand alone ones need to have pipes out of windows and all that lark.

Yep that's what our are, but the pipe is vented through the wall or (not perfect) up the chimney.

We don't use hair dryers, we prefer to evaporate naturally  :chuckle:

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

I bought this product with high hopes: I wash my (long) hair every day and I really needed a reliable hair dryer that blows dry fast without leaving my hair unmanageable. I read and watched the presentation of the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer and I had the feeling I found what I was looking for. I was willing to spend the eye-watering £300 as I take great care of my hair.
I’ve been using the Dyson Supersonic for 4 days now and the experience is horrible. It misses the marks on both main qualities advertised by Dyson: 1) reducing time for blow dry: unfortunately I didn’t noticed any reduction in the time I spend to blow dry my hair, if anything, in fact, it’s taking me longer; 2) enhance the “shine” thank to a microchip which detects the heat from the brush: it doesn’t do that, my hair overheats with the brush anyway.
I didn’t change the way I blow dry my hair and in fact I have even followed the “styling tips” advertised on their website.
The result is terrible: my hair feel “dusty”, frizzy and unmanageable.
I’ve also found absurd the fact that on their website consumers can write reviews on all product except the Supersonic Hair Dryer: I appreciate that the product is new to the market, but at that price I find extremely unfair not being given the opportunity to write a review. This can really make the difference in the choice of a good hair dryer. I’m extremely disappointed. LV

Wifey and I looked at these while in John Lewis recently, they have a test area where you can play with them, she decided that they are not worth the money and declined to buy one.

For me, I'd expect a better finish on the product, a nicer feeling switch and a cable grommet that doesn't look like it will snap any moment for that kind of money.
