What reviewers say
Dyson Supersonic HD11 Hair Dryer
Owners and professional reviewers consistently rate the Supersonic among the best hair dryers for speed and hair condition, with the Flyaway attachment getting particular praise. The main complaints are price and the cost of accessories, not performance.
- Dries hair noticeably faster than cheaper dryers
- Leaves hair smoother and shinier with less frizz
- Magnetic attachments are easy to swap and stay put
- Quieter, less whiny motor sound than typical dryers
- High price compared with capable mid-range dryers
- Replacement attachments cost a lot
- Not dual voltage, so it is useless abroad without a converter
Questions and answers
- Which is better for curly or coily hair?
- The Supersonic r Curly+Coily is made for that hair type and comes with matching intelligent attachments. The HD11 works on all hair types but is not tuned specifically for curls.

- Can I use either one in the US?

- Is the HD11 worth the extra money?
- It depends on the store price you find. The HD11 has sold between $350.00 and $549.00, so check its current price against the r Curly+Coily before deciding.
- Do both have a cool shot?
- Yes. The HD11 has a cool shot, and the r Curly+Coily has a cold shot among its four heat settings.
