It is a plane?Is Superman?No, it's Supersonic, Dyson's dryer.Yes, a hair dryer.And yes, it is from Dyson, which means that it has a great design and revolutionary technology.So much so that it doesn't even look like a dryer.Of course, dry faster, protect the hair and keep some tricks under the sleeve (under the handle, actually) that manage to capture the attention of both those who suffer with the dryer, and those passionate about technology.This is the Dyson Supersonic, and here we break up everything that is capable of doing.

A dryer that does not seem like a dryer

More than a dryer looks like a magnifying glass.And, that the body of the device does not have an engine, but with a hole, it is already striking enough to capture the look of any curious.It is already a brand of the house to present products that seem arrived from the future.They do it with fans without blades and with their vacuum revolutionaries, so Dyson's hair dryer couldn't be less.His body is formed by a thick but hollow cylinder where the air expels.It is something smaller than conventional dryers, but it is much shorter.This cylinder is attached to another that acts as a mango, which in this case is not hollow.In fact, it is the only space that stays where to house the machinery that moves the air in this dryer.And that is where this device stands out most, by house the engine in the handle and not in the head.An entire engineering work that is complemented with a magnetic end to attach drying accessories such as different nozzles without curling and, of course, without burning.You just have to bring the nozzle to the end so that everything is coupled and ready to use.

Together, the body of this Dyson Supersonic has measures of 245 x 78 x 97 mm (height x width x depth), although the surprising thing is its weight of only 618 grams.Another fact that differentiates it from the rest of the market dryers for its lightness and comfort.After all, the dryer's head is a great hole (it also houses part of Dyson's technology), so the weight is concentrated in the handle, making it more comfortable to drive and preventing the pivot doll and balanceas with the rest of the dryers.Something that with Supersonic is much more comfortable both because of the balance achieved by houseing the weight in the handle, as for its lightness.Especially for those who suffer when the hair was dry from the back of the head, when it is necessary to lift the elbow to reach this area.Again, design details that not only get a really striking and pleasant product to the view, but also affects the experience of use.

Of course, it is an ultramodern and technology dryer does not make it difficult to handle.In fact, it only has four accessible buttons from the back of the handle and the head to use a single finger and to have everything at hand at all times.In addition to the typical ignition and off button, Dyson's supersonic has a typical cold button on hand dryers.What is no longer so typical is that it possesses two more focused buttons on control the speed of the air and heat flow.Issues that help choose the type of drying or molding that you want to carry out with this device.These two buttons are found in the back of the head and activate different color LED lights to indicate at all times the way the dryer is.All this in the fuchsia area of the device, which gives the distinctive and color touch to the set.

Fast, molding and natural brightness

But what can Dyson Supersonic do?Like any dryer, its main function is the one that gives meaning to its name.Of course, here Dyson also Innova.And thanks to the aforementioned air flow control buttons, it is possible to configure different ways to get drying or a good molding.For this, you just have to control the intensity of the flow with its three modes, achieving a normal drying, a fast drying or a molding.This, in combination with heat control, allows a constant cold flow to 28 degrees (cold button), a soft drying to 60 degrees, a normal drying at 80 or a quick and molded drying (at the same time) to100 degrees Celsius.Qualities that allow adapting the dryer to any situation depending on the final result that is desired.And what is better, get a really fast drying compared to other market dryers.But Dyson's supersonic goes one step further.

If this dryer is so modern and technological, how can the biggest dryers solve?That is: how do you get all this without burning your hair?The reason is its technology, which focuses on controlling at all times the heat of air flow thanks to its glass thermostat.This is housed in the dryer head, and measures up to 20 times per second the heat that the device is expelling.This data quickly passes to the processor (yes, this dryer has a chip) to recalculate and limit its power and prevent it from exceeding the chosen grades.The result?Hair that does not end up burned and manages to maintain its natural shine.A fast and brilliant result that allows to combine drying and molded at the same time.Of course, Dyson Supersonic includes negative ion technology that helps to avoid fooling for static electricity in hair.

And Dyson has done his homework regarding hair care.Nothing less than four years has passed developing this device, but also studying human hair.So much so that 60 million have been allocated to the creation of a laboratory to know the resistance, damages and other hair factors.The most rough is that, for this, they have used 1.625 kilometers of human hair in test strands.That is why its dryer is loaded with technology and knows the limits to prevent hair from drying out and breaks, this being the main cause of the lack of brightness.Thus, they have discovered that hair with little health does not reflect the light, something that excessive heat has a lot to do.

A tiny engine but with a lot of muscle

All these functions of Dyson Supersonic have their origin in the Dyson V9 digital engine.This is the smallest, light and advanced engine of the English company.And all this in 27 millimeters thick.This is what allows them to enter this engine directly into the dryer's handle, leaving the head for its air system.

Returning to the engine we find a dogice of 13 blades capable of producing a 13 -liter flow of itself.In addition, its structure has been designed to move on a rubber cylinder that is integrated into the shape of the supersonic mango to avoid tremors and that the sound produced by its movement does not end up using the structure of the dryer as a resonance.An engine capable of rotating 110.000 times per minute about yourself.Of course, this little but powerful engine is not the only architect of the powerful air flow that comes out through the hollow head of the Dyson dryer.

After collecting part of the air for the base of the supersonic handle, the motor drives these 13 liters of air directly to the dryer head.Here, in its thick but hollow body, is where it is multiplied by three thanks to Air Multiplier technology.This term is not new for Dyson, which already uses this same technology in its air conditioning devices without blades.It consists of expelling the air carried by the V9 engine by a very fine slot in the head of the head.Thanks to the physical principles of pressure, this small air outlet is able to collect more air from the dryer and drag it and enhance it (hence the multiply multiply term) by unifying the flow that is up to three times more powerful (41 litersper second) that the collection.In addition, this opening where the air comes out is designed to create an air stream with an angle of 20 degrees, which manages to focus the flow and control it to improve the drying results.

All this without forgetting the rest of the technology that is responsible for making really quick readings of the temperature of this air flow to control that nothing is burned or damaged for it.Something that surprises even more given the dimensions of the device and, of course, its striking design.

A dryer that does not isolate yourself from the world

With so much power, and such an air channel coming out of its hollow body, it would be expected that this supersonic dyson sound like a reaction plane.Nothing is further from reality.In Dyson they have also worried about the acoustics of this dryer, and therefore had its own team of sound engineers during development to study how to minimize the noise generated by this device.On the one hand is the aforementioned Dyson V9 engine structure, which is integrated with the device to avoid vibrations and sounds.On the other hand is the full design of the dryer, which minimizes the sound without compromising its power.

That is, it is a dryer that moves air and, therefore, generates sound.That is undeniable.However, although that sound is somewhat more acute than other dryers, their decibels are below in terms of volume, producing less noise than other similar products.Do not forget that it has a smaller engine, which in the end translates into less noise.Clearer: allows you to maintain a conversation while used, while other dryers manage to silence the whole environment due to their noise.

Dyson Supersonic does not arrive alone

Along with its flow modes, Dyson has developed a series of accessories that help all the supersonic hairstyle and drying tasks.These heads in the form of heads have nothing to envy to the Dyson dryer, in fact they are perfectly integrated into design and functionality.Proof of this is that they do not heat up, and offer the user a cold touch thanks to Heat Shield technology.It doesn't matter how close the hair nozzle is placed, or that it grips with your hand while using the dryer.The feeling is to be a cold piece that does not heat up and, above all, that does not burn.In addition, this technology extends to the rest of the body of Dyson Supersonic, something that allows, for example, resting the dryer on the legs or on any surface without damaging or burning it.Next to this characteristic, and as we commented above, the accessories are magnetic devices.In this way, it is possible to exchange them during drying or hairstyle without any problem.As easy as grabbing the nozzle and pulling it.Without burns, neither threads, nor buttons, nor springs.To place another nozzle you just have to bring it closer to the dryer and its magnets do the rest of the work.That simple.

Specifically, Dyson has created a wide straight nozzle that helps the drying be faster when concentrating the air flow to get a smoothing, although without focusing solely on one area.This adapter is useful to get a quick and general drying, using the hand directly on the hair and without having to frantically move the dryer, just doing it from the root to the tips.

It also has a narrow air concentrator nozzle.In this case the tool allows to define and model concrete portions of the hair, focusing all the force of the flow at a much more defined point.

Finally, there is also a magnetic diffuser for those with curly hair.An ideal complement that allows the hair to be dry and keep it in its original shape, without separating the natural curls by distributing the hot air much wider and reaching each recesses.

Only for generous pockets

Now, all the technology developed and included in this dryer has a price.And no, it's not cheap.Dyson has put his supersonic for sale for a price of 400 euros.It is now available to buy directly from its website or by distributors such as El Corte Inglés, Media Markt or Worten, among others.Of course, perhaps we would have to see it from the positive side, considering it as an investment to cut the usual drying time.

The package includes the supersonic dryer with its posterior fuchsia housing (there are no other colors available), the three magnetic nozzles (wide nozzle, narrow nozzle and diffuser), a string to hold it safely or save it, and an non -slip coach forput on any surface.
