Best Dyson yet: ‘most exciting release in years' finally available for Aussies to buy
Have you wished you could take your hairstylist home with you for the perfect blow out everyday, Dyson may have just made that dream a reality.
The Dyson Supersonic r, once exclusive to the world's top hair professionals, is now officially available for Australian consumers and it's already making waves in the beauty world.
The newly launched Dyson Supersonic r is the latest evolution in Dyson's haircare lineup.
Until now, it's only been available to professional stylists. But from now, everyone can get their hands on this high-performance tool for $799.
Lightweight, compact and seriously smart, the Supersonic r is Dyson's fastest, most precise dryer yet.
It's 30 per cent smaller, 20 per cent lighter and more manoeuvrable than the original Supersonic, making it easier than ever to style those tricky sections at the back of your head without feeling like you've run a marathon.
What's the real difference? It's not just about weight, it's what's inside that counts.
The Supersonic r features intelligent attachment recognition, meaning it knows whether you're using a diffuser, smoothing nozzle or concentrator and adjusts the heat and airflow accordingly.
It even remembers your favourite settings for next time, creating a salon-like experience every time you plug it in.
A serious upgrade in technology
Peter Thomsen, Dyson Styling Ambassador and celeb hair expert, told Best Picks why it's more than just another fancy gadget:
'The Supersonic r is like having a stylist built into your hair dryer. It knows what you're using and how to use it, plus it protects your hair by optimising the heat. The result is faster, shinier and healthier styling, especially for people who style often.'
Dyson has completely reengineered the dryer's heat control and design.
Instead of pushing heat through the front alone, the Supersonic r distributes airflow throughout the funnel of the handle, meaning more consistent drying and smoother results.
'What truly sets the Dyson Supersonic r apart is its intelligent attachment recognition and personalised styling technology,' says Peter.
'The device knows which tool you're using, like the diffuser or concentrator, and adjusts the heat and airflow for that specific attachment. It even remembers your preferences. It's like having a mini stylist in your bathroom.'
For anyone who finds styling their hair at home a frustrating chore, Peter says this new tech is a game-changer.
'It takes the guesswork out of styling. You don't have to fiddle with heat settings or worry about damaging your hair, the Supersonic r handles it all for you, and it's incredibly intuitive.'
He also highlights Dyson's upgraded heat control and airflow system, which delivers faster, healthier results without frying your ends.
'Heat and airflow are now distributed through the funnel of the handle, not just the head of the dryer. That means more consistent drying and better styling precision, whether you're smoothing out curls or adding volume,' Peter explains.
It's a leap forward in both form and function, and it feels noticeably lighter in your hands, too.
'Most exciting release in years'
The Supersonic r comes in two eye-catching shades: Ceramic Pink, inspired by pearl tones, and Jasper Plum, a rich violet hue available exclusively at
We were lucky enough to get hands-on with the device and can confirm: it's as good as the hype suggests. It feels light, dries hair quickly, and leaves a high-shine, smooth finish without the usual heat damage.
It's a bit of a splurge but if you style your hair regularly or want to upgrade your hair routine, the Supersonic r is one of the smartest investments you can make.
Peter agrees that it's worth the splurge, especially for regular stylers or anyone serious about hair health.
'If you already own a Supersonic, this is a serious upgrade.'
. It's honestly one of the most exciting releases I've seen in years.'
it's well worth the investment.'
