Dyson Supersonic Nural

94%of 16 owners recommend
94% recommend · 0% neutral · 6% don't
Owners praise
  • Dries hair remarkably fast, with many owners reporting full drying in 10-20 minutes versus 30-50 with previous dryers
  • The bowl diffuser is a standout for curls, twirling and cupping the hair for noticeably more definition, shine, and less frizz
  • Gentle, lower-damage drying that owners with fine, delicate, or breakage-prone hair say protects their hair better than past dryers
Owners complain about
  • Very expensive, with owners citing around $600, making the cost the most common hesitation
  • Most of the Nural's signature smart features stop working when the diffuser or wide-tooth comb is attached, so some feel it's not worth the premium over the standard Supersonic
  • The diffuser can be too small for long, thick hair, sending some owners back to a larger third-party diffuser

It’s Great that FINALLY Dyson is INCLUDING ALL the Best Attachments with the Dryer instead of having to buy them Separately!
