Design and ergonomics
The most striking feature of the Supersonic r is its unique, curved “r” shape. This design makes the device more ergonomic, allowing for easier access to the back of the head without wrist strain. At just 325 grams, it is 20% lighter and 30% smaller than the original Dyson Supersonic. One minor design drawback is its oversized power plug, which may be cumbersome for tight outlet spaces.
Performance and technology
The dryer is powered by Dyson’s compact Hyperdymium motor, providing powerful and controlled airflow. It uses a new streamlined heater to distribute heat evenly and includes an intelligent sensor that measures air temperature over 100 times per second to prevent extreme heat damage.
Smart RFID attachments
The Supersonic r comes with five attachments that feature RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips. When an attachment is connected, the dryer automatically recognizes it and adjusts to the ideal heat and airflow settings for that specific tool.
- Powerful air attachment: Produces high-velocity airflow for the fastest possible drying.
- Gentle air attachment: Diffuses airflow and uses cooler air, making it gentler on the scalp.
- Smoothing nozzle: Delivers more ions to reduce frizz and create a smooth, natural finish.
- Professional concentrator: Creates a focused blade of air for precise styling.
- Flyaway attachment: Attracts and smooths down longer hair strands to hide flyaways.
