It's powerful. Quieter than a typical dryer. The diffuser works great on my curls. Gets my hair dry faster, but not overheated. The attachments are easy to use.
I purchased this and do not see a difference from using my old dryer to the Dyson. Dyson advertises the following yet, I do not see a difference. The Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is engineered to protect hair from extreme heat damage, with fast drying and controlled styling to help increase smoothness by 75%, increase shine by up to 132% and decrease frizz and flyaways by up to 61%. None of this is true!
Huge disappointment. I wish I kept the packaging as I'd like to return it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My wife has wanted one for over a year, and I finally pulled the trigger for Christmas. We’re both terrible at keeping secrets so this didn’t stay wrapped long. For the price point I can see why people might be afraid to make the jump, but its engineered to a standard that makes it worth it. Remember, you get what you pay for. I did a lot of research and everything pointed right back to the Dyson Supersonic. Spoiler alert: She absolutely loved it!
So far it beats all competitors shes tried in terms of quality, performance, and feel. The magnetic attachments work flawlessly and are easy to change out. No worries about them coming loose or falling off. The air flow is powerful yet controlled giving you amazing results. My wife’s hair looks magazine ready without much effort at all.
If you don’t like color pop, the black and nickel is a great, clean look. Some words of advice: If you’re thinking about it... Do it.
I was skeptical at first, but, all expectations have been surpassed! I have long, think curly hair that I straightened on a regular basis. And this dryer is definitely worth the money.
I held off on buying this, although my hairdresser recommended it, because it is so expensive. I finally gave in and bought it and I am so glad I did. It is totally unlike any other blow dryer I have ever owned. The cool shot is a bonus, but just being able to get the right temperature with the easy settings is incredible. I have thick, frizzy hair and this leaves my hair so smooth I don’t even need to flat iron it. To be fair, I just recently had a Brazilian blowout so it is naturally smoother, but this still makes a tremendous difference. I’ll know more after my Brazilian grows out, but so far, this is a definite thumbs up!!
The first time I used it, it kept shutting off the red lights were blinking. I googled and found that several users had this same problem, Dyson replaced the unit and they still had the problem. I am returning..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
