I was going to buy it when it first came out. Then I read the reviews & the T3 had better reviews at the time. I bought the T3 & never regretted it. I want another T3, but can't afford one yet.

I got the Dyson airwrap and I love it. Prior to it I better dried my hair I just let it air dry cause I always thought it was a hassle and it took like an hour (lots of hair). Now I ALWAYS dry my hair and I think it looks noticably better day to day.

Chi Lava blowdryer, work in a beauty supply store, sold 23 in a month and none of them came back. They based the design on the Dyson but cheaper and fixed the complaints people had about the Dyson.

You MUST get the revlon one-step hair dryer! I have it and I don't wear my hair curly anymore because it's sooooo convenient to blow dry my hair with this thing. Watch youtube videos and you will become converted. It costs like $60 and will change your hair game.

I have the dyson dryer. My husband bought it for me for Christmas when we were dating. He did a lot of research, even watching tech you tube videos on it. Ultimately, he decided this was the best dryer available at the time so that’s what he bought me.

I LOVE it. I love the ergonomics of it so my wrist doesn’t actually get tired/leave the dryer feeling heavy. I also love how long the cord is and how it never gets tangled because it’s thicker (unlike my curling iron cord that’s always a mess, no matter how careful I am when I put it away). It cut my drying time in half and using the most narrowed nozzle that comes with it, I get a silky smooth blow out.

I will say that I have fairly straight, white-woman hair. For what it’s worth.

If she's a professional stylist of any kind, yes. Otherwise, not really. There are some very good blowdryers that don't cost $400.

Honestly no. They're overpriced as hell and also Dyson himself is a POS.

I purchased my Dyson hairdryer in 2016. It is still going strong and it has survived through blowouts, diffusing my curls and dog grooming. I have been less than kind to it and it’s currently sitting on the bathroom floor. Having said that, I can not speak for the quality of the the newer models. Agree that the airwrap is gimmicky and overrated.

Unfortunately, yes. After years of burning through dupes, my husband insisted i get the Dyson hairdryer. It’s honestly an incredible product. I love my sad, limp hair for the first time. Doesn’t damage like the dupes and takes so much less time. To me, the reduction in time spent making my hair look reliably good was worth it. I’ve had it since December and used it damn near daily, so we’re on track for excellent cost-per-use.

The hair dryer is definitely worth it. I have curly hair and use a diffuser to style my curls. It DRASTICALLY cut down my drying time, and it's so much comfier to hold. Legit one of the best purchases of my entire life.

Being able to dry my hair in 25-35 minutes when it used to be 45-60 was life changing for me. Now I can do my hair in the morning if I really need to, that was never realistic before. And the short barrel, being able to hold it against my head at the back of the barrel (which you can't do with regular hair dryers bc that's where they pull air) make such a difference for my neck/arms/shoulders.

My stylist recommended a BaBylissPRO and I am SO HAPPY with it! I highly recommend it!

One thing to keep in mind, places like this are always going to be biased towards negativity. People without anything to complain about aren't as likely to post here.

Generally speaking, no cordless vacuums that I've seen are especially reliable. By default they seem to have a shorter lifespan than similarly priced corded vacs, often because of the battery.

While the miele cordlesses are maybe slightly better quality, I think they lag dyson in performance and bit still. Especially with things like bin size and how often the filters need attention.

As for your choice of dyson, it comes largely down to preference. Want a vac for quick cleanup, and maybe not the whole house at once? V8 is still good.

Want something lighter and smaller like the v8 but with more features and runtime? V12 is a good choice.

Want bigger bin capacity? V10 or v15.

The gen5 is a hard sell I think, its not that much better than a v15 imo.

The V15 is amazing. I'm sure customer service isn't "top notch like it used to be". But the truth is that NO company will give you "service like it used to be" because it isn't 1970 anymore.

The V15 is the BEST cordless vacuum you can buy. Period.

I bought the “outsize plus” about a year ago and I can’t relate at all with these negative posts. It’s a great vacuum. Also if you take off the attachments, it looks like a laser gun.

I think the stick vacuums from any manufacturer are going to be pretty low build quality, as far as vacuum cleaners go.

When mine does die, I won't be getting another. It's not that it doesn't work well, it does. It's just too chintzy for the price and there always seems to be some silly issues with it due to that chintzyness.

The materials on the vacuum are serviceable. I've been using a V8 and V10 for a few years and haven't broke any of the plastic parts or attachments.

That being said, you definitely will run into issues (as with all devices) as they age. On the V10s and newer, you will need to more diligently clean the washable filters, and perhaps do a full teardown every year or two depending on how much cleaning you do. The V8s and older have an additional prefilter and, to me, seem more durable.

My experience with the V10 is two burnt-out motors (replaced under warranty). The V8's battery failed (after 4-5 years) and I replaced it with a third-party one for ~$50. One good thing about Dysons is the extensive repair and accessories market available for them. You'll be able to find more information and parts for even older models.

Had a Dyson for years. Not worth the price.

I have a dyson i have had for 15+ years. It works better than you would think. Also, it if fully repairable even the older models. Needed to get it looked at because it wasn't sucking as much, took it to their service center and they got it running back to like new.

I do have a smaller shark for my stairs and quick little things. it works decently, but if it goes bad, they don't have the service like a dyson does.

I bought myself a V8 and I'm very happy I did. Works great! Handy attachments too. I have a 3-bedroom semi, and the battery is enough to do the full house.

Has no one noticed these accounts posting this exact same site, trying to advertise random products?

We raised 4 boys, had two dogs at any given time.

Yes

I have the Dyson Supersonic Pro as a hairstylist, and personally I LOVE mine. It so handy and quick for blow drying my clients. I tell everybody that if you have curly, or takes forever to dry hair, it’s absolutely worth the price. The shark version is also good for consumer use for a fraction of the cost but as a stylist, I love my Dyson more.

I ordered mine last Friday! There’s a Dyson 20% off coupon going until the end of the week around that sealed the deal for me. I’d check to see if you have it or post in the coupon thread to see if someone can share it with you!

Yes! I was saving up but ended up a ton of points and spending about 100 on my Dyson. I’m so in love and fully back it!

I have very long, very thick, coarse and wavy hair. I LOVE my Dyson Supersonic.

The last time I washed my hair I planned to curl it the next day so I didn't do a full blowout. I don't like going to bed with wet hair. I used the Supersonic and got my hair from wet to mostly dry in 8 minutes.

Yes!!!! I did the same with my points. Saves me a ton of time and really makes my hair healthier. The air wrap is a little too complicated for me 😂

I own a Miele C3 and loved it in my old place where I had carpets; it was significantly better than the Dyson Animal Ball I had.

Bags = Better

I know I'm in a Dyson sub saying this so it might seem heretical, but it's true, if you want the details you can find them, but I was a Dyson fan before I was ever a Miele fan.

Anyway the reason why I'm seeing this post is I was recently looking to buy a Dyson........and I did!

I got the 15 from Costco, why? Well I have two dogs now and the lab sheds so much it sometimes feels our entire hard floor home has a carpet and the Miele has been a pain to drag around, especially for the stairs.

So cordless stick vacuum for the win right? Kind of. That green light? Holy fuck does it show how bad the dogs actually shed, and the unit appeared to do a good job, but something was nagging me about the performance, it just didn't lift enough off the floor, I had to go back and forth, back and forth and a cleanup would take forever.

The Dyson 15 just doesn't have enough suction compared to my Miele and so I bought a laser and put it on my Miele and had terrible results because the power head was high, but then I got it to the right height and it worked like 3x better than the Dyson, but I knew I had significantly more suction, turns out I needed a "wessel werk rd285" attachment and oh my am I able to clean so much better.

Unfortunately the Miele won't have the pick-up and go usability of the Dyson, but it cleans better and that's what matters most. As annoying it is to pull the canister around, I'll get my cleaning done 5x faster than if I had to use the Dyson.

My only challenge now is returning the Dyson to Costco and braving the massive lines.

They aren't anything special for the price though, people just know the brand and see the ads so this is the only premium vacuum they've tried. Their customer service moved to India entirely over the last few years as they've made massive cost-cutting measures. This is why there's essentially a subreddit dedicated to complaining about their shit customer support.

I've had many Dyson products, and still currently have a V15 Detect vacuum, TP07 air purifier, and two supersonic hair dryers.

The supersonic is actually pretty decent, it's overpriced but I haven't found anything that matches the performance.

The TP07 air purifier does fuck all for actually filtering the air, and it's quite chirpy too because they've cheaped out on the ball bearings for the fan motor.

The V15 Detect is decent, compared to cheap vacuums it's quieter and more effective. However, you have to hold the trigger and it wears out your finger after a while. It's also a tad bit flimsy, the build quality is mediocre for this price bracket, especially the charging dock.

The Wash G1 mop is a joke of a product, it's literally more work than using a regular mop because of how thoroughly you have to disassemble the machine to clean it after every use. Their submarine wetvacs are incredibly shitty as well. Meanwhile my Tineco wetvac washes and dries itself after every use. I'll probably give Shark, Tineco, and some of the Korean brands after my V15 shits out.

Can’t speak to anything other than Dyson. We are on our 4th Dyson. We’ve had 3 different upright models over the years. Then we bought a v15 about 4-5 years ago, whenever it just came out. I haven’t touched our Animal 2 in years. The v15 is great. If I had to replace it I would buy a one without even thinking about other brands.

I have the Gen5, the digital motobar broke within 1.5yrs of use. This is my 3rd Dyson in 10yrs. Never had issues with the other two models. I contacted them for a replacement part, they said not a problem and it's under warranty. The part has been out of stock since February...

So I am a little bit annoyed. However it did work great for hardwood, tile and multiple rugs around the house. The soft roller with the laser light is crazy hah.

I am going to have to send the unit, wait until they evaluate it and then they will send me a replacement. Might take up to 30 business days :(

Bought my first Dyson do years ago after always wanting one due to brand and hype. This was the gen5 absolute directly from Dyson Canada. If I’m honest, I’ve used it a lot and for my needs between hard floors, carpet and even vacuuming my german shepherd’s fur it has done the job pretty well. Is it worth the $1199 I pad for it back then? I really can’t say. It has been working every day since with only one issue which is the rubber gasket by the cyclones started to come off. I reached out to Dyson last week and they basically told me that they don’t have the parts in stock and offered me to a prepaid label to ship it back for a new replacement.

I know a lot of people on this group have said that they are waiting months for their replacement but from my experience, the old unit was delivered to Dyson on Monday. They shipped out the replacement today with a delivery date of tomorrow.

I’ve had mine since it first came out and it’s been a game changer. I have a lot of hair, it’s thick, wavy, super frizzy when it’s humid, and I can essentially have smooth presentable hair after just 5-10 minutes. I’ve spend money on worse things that don’t save me time and energy and help me get out the door faster every day. Also, way healthier for your hair.

I love mine, it cuts drying time down and leaves hair shiny and less frizzy. But it is EXPENSIVE for a hair dryer.

I have no regrets about spending the money on it! Hubby was upset about how much I spent on it but he won’t use anything else to dry his hair now lol 😂

Anyone with experience to know it help fine, thin hair look sleeker or more full?

I have pin straight thin hair and a lot of it. I bought the dyson once and returned it because I thought I was going to get big voluminous beach waves. I waited another year and decided I wanted to buy it again. I use it now to help style my bangs and flip out the bottoms to give it a tiny blow out look. This is the most styling i can achieve with my straight hair and i love it. I think as long as your expectation is reasonable to your hair type you will love it. I also think the blow dryer does give you really smooth hair.

Why do you need the Supersonic if you already have the Airwrap? They do the exact same thing. If you want to splurge, I'd look outside the Dyson box.

I feel like Dyson never goes on sale- so if you really want it go for it! I think I bought the air wrap during the 20% sale.

4b-c chiming in! I see you already decided to get it, just wanted to add, if you blowout your hair get the wide tooth comb attachment as well. Makes it such a breeze.

Also, that 6 minutes sounds about the same for me as well. It’s quick.
