The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Dyson Supersonic Nural is the most well-rounded premium pick. theguardian.com measured noise between 75 and 81dB and called it the second-quietest dryer they had tested, while shape.com highlighted the sensor-driven scalp-protect mode that throttles heat automatically. r/curlyhair threads include a high-upvoted account of a curly-hair user whose drying time was cut roughly in half, and a separate r/curlyhair comment praises the lightweight, well-balanced handling and long cord.
What reviewers liked
- theguardian.com measured it as one of the quietest dryers tested (75–81dB)
- r/curlyhair reports significantly reduced drying time on curly hair
- Sensor-based scalp-protect mode praised by shape.com and r/Hair for limiting heat damage
- Lightweight, well-balanced handling cited across multiple expert and community sources
Where it falls short
- r/dyson threads repeatedly flag durability issues around the 2-year mark
- r/beauty notes scalp-protect mode can lengthen drying time for some users
- Premium $349 price with no clear performance lead over the Supersonic R per r/dyson discussion
- Sensor features only work with specific attachments per r/Hair

Disagreement is worth surfacing. r/beauty notes that scalp-protect mode can actually slow the drying process for some users by capping heat, and r/dyson threads repeatedly flag a pattern of units failing at or near the two-year warranty mark, on a tool that costs $349. The Amazon average of 4.2 across 204 reviews is consistent with that mixed-but-mostly-positive picture, rather than the near-universal acclaim Dyson marketing implies.
Net: if you want the lightest, quietest premium dryer with the most attachment intelligence, the consensus supports the Nural. Just go in with eyes open about long-term reliability and the price tag.
- A network of Nural sensors within the machine activate intelligent features automatically to optimize your styling routine.
- Scalp protect mode automatically adjusts air temperature to maintain an optimal target temperature of 130°F at the scalp for comfortable, close-up drying.²
- Attachment learning recognizes each attachment and remembers your styling preferences. Intelligent attachments automatically adjust to your preferred airflow and heat settings for easier styling.³

The Dyson is simply far superior in terms of design: it's lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and has a long, sturdy cord. I have absolutely no ...
