Dyson Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer vs Dyson Supersonic r Hair Dryer

Buy the Supersonic r for everyday drying and styling at home. It is Dyson's lightest full-size dryer, has five smart attachments, and owners say it dries long hair in under five minutes and cuts wrist strain. Buy the Supersonic Travel if you dry your hair in hotel rooms and on trips. It is 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the standard Supersonic and adapts voltage automatically, but reviewers call it louder and less powerful than a full-size Dyson. Both rate 4.8, though the r has far fewer ratings so far.

• Choose the Supersonic Travel if you dry your hair away from home and want one compact dryer that works on any voltage.
• Choose the Supersonic r if you dry and style at home daily and want the lightest, most versatile full-size Dyson.
