Dyson Dumps Supersonic Hair Dryer Stock, Now Selling for Pennies Against What Salons Charge - Kotaku
"Professional blowouts at a high-end salon easily run $60 to $100 per session and if you're getting your hair done weekly, that's thousands of dollars annually for results that last just a few days. Dyson just dropped the Supersonic Origin hair dryer to $299 on Amazon, slashed from its usual $419 price, and at this all-time low, you're paying the equivalent of three to five salon visits for a tool that delivers the same professional-grade results at home for years to come."
"The key motor element of the Supersonic is Dyson's digital motor V9: This motor is a brushless DC motor which is much smaller and more lightweight than traditional hair dryer motors. Typical conventional dryers place the motor in the foundation of the unit but Dyson relocated this motor to the handle of its unit. The motor's speed of 110,000 RPM has more than just show value: This speed powers an impeller which draws air into its chambers."
"The Air Multiplier technology is taken from Dyson's bladeless fans. The function of this technology is the induction of air from the motor and then amplifying it through a carefully created hole. This amplifies the air into a three times more powerful jet of air than the motor's capability, but this air comes from a smooth airflow. For this reason, it becomes capable of drying your hair sections quickly without releasing it all over the place."
High-end salon blowouts cost $60–$100 per session and weekly visits can total thousands annually for short-lived results. The Dyson Supersonic Origin is discounted to $299 from $419, equating to roughly three to five salon visits in cost. The unit uses a compact, brushless digital motor V9 spinning at 110,000 RPM relocated to the handle, pulling about 13 liters of air per second. Air Multiplier technology amplifies that airflow threefold into a smooth jet for faster, targeted drying. Intelligent heat control monitors air temperature frequently to manage styling heat and protect hair.
