Questions and answers
- Are the HD08 and the Supersonic Gifting the same dryer?
- Functionally yes. Both use the same Dyson digital motor, four heat settings up to 100°C, three speeds and ionic frizz control. The difference is voltage and packaging.
- Which one works in the US?
- The Gifting set, listed at 127V. The HD08 is 220-240V and needs a step-up converter in the US, which Dyson does not recommend.
- Which one works in Europe?
- The HD08, listed at 220-240V. The Gifting set at 127V will not run properly on European outlets.
- Does either one have a diffuser?
- The Gifting set lists a diffuser and a gentle airflow attachment. The HD08 lists five intelligent attachments without naming them.
- Is the Gifting set worth more than the HD08?
- Only if you need 127V or want gift packaging. The dryer itself is the same, so pay the lower price unless voltage or gifting matters to you.
- Can I use either one while traveling abroad?
- No. Neither is dual voltage, so each only works in its own voltage region.
