Which is better for travel?

The Supersonic Travel HD19. It is 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the full-size Supersonic. Neither dryer is dual voltage, so both are for 120-127 V outlets only.

Which dries thick hair faster?

The Supersonic Origin. It lists 13.3 l/s of airflow, and one field lists 41 l/s, while the Travel publishes no airflow figure. The Origin also has 3 speed settings.

Do either work in Europe?

No. The Travel is 127 V and the Origin is 120 V, and neither is dual voltage. You would need a voltage converter, which Dyson does not recommend for these dryers.

Which has more attachments?

The Travel ships with five intelligent attachments. The Origin includes a diffuser, and its other attachments depend on the box version.

Which is quieter or lighter to hold?

The Travel is the lighter of the two by Dyson's own claim of 25% less weight than the full-size Supersonic. The Origin weighs 1.8 lb. Neither listing gives a decibel figure.
