What 9 critics said
Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 95The Independent
After over a year of use the reviewer calls it the best dryer she has tried, being fast, light and gentle on the scalp; worth buying unless you already own an older Supersonic.
Read The Independent review - 95T3
A premium, smart dryer that gives shiny results, dries quickly and runs quietly, and is about as good as dryers get.
Read T3 review - 90TechRadar
Calls it an outstanding, best-used dryer whose scalp protection and attachment memory work as promised, though the price is steep and the features overkill for many.
Read TechRadar review - 90WIRED
A fast-drying hair dryer with clever scalp-protecting sensors and an effective new diffuser.
Read WIRED review - 89est.Good Housekeeping UK
The senior beauty editor found it a joy to use with a precise nozzle and useful scalp-protecting tech, calling it Dyson's best dryer yet.

Tested against the original, the Nural is judged worth the extra splurge for its scalp protection and attachment memory.
Read CNN Underscored review - 85est.Business Insider
Named the best overall dryer in a tested roundup; the reviewer finds its smart features and light, balanced build worth the splurge, with price the only real complaint.
Read Business Insider review - 83est.The Strategist
Picked for sensitive scalps and liked for its scalp sensor and attachment memory, but the writer withholds a best-in-class label over its price and suggests the original for those wanting manual control.
Read The Strategist review - 77est.The Guardian
A brilliant, very quiet dryer that suits sensitive scalps, but the reviewer is unconvinced it justifies about 400 pounds when cheaper options work well, and its sensor is sometimes overcautious.
