Dyson Supersonic r review after years of use
A hair dryer that cost several hundred dollars and is still working perfectly is generally not one of the things you replace. However, a writer who used the Dyson Supersonic for years, most recently the Supersonic Nural, decided to try the Dyson Supersonic r. The writer had been eyeing the Supersonic r for a long time, mostly because of its smaller curved shape, which looked different from anything they had used before and was popular among professional stylists.
The writer found that the Supersonic r was good enough to make the switch feel worthwhile for someone who already owned and loved a Dyson hair dryer. It was not because of one flashy feature, but because the r made the entire process of drying and styling hair feel noticeably easier.
Design and Features
The first thing that stands out about the Supersonic r is its weight. It is significantly lighter and less bulky than the Supersonic Nural, weighing about 0.7 pounds compared to 1.8 pounds. The curved shape also makes it easier to maneuver, especially when reaching the back of the head or changing angles.
The Supersonic r comes with several intelligent attachments designed for different types of drying and styling. The writer initially thought they would use the Pro concentrator the most, but it turned out that the Powerful air attachment was the most useful. It creates a concentrated, high-velocity stream of air that gets hair dry quickly while still feeling controlled.

The attachments are smarter than they look, as each one communicates with the dryer through an RFID chip, allowing the r to recognize what is connected and adjust the available heat and airflow settings. The dryer also remembers the user’s preferences, making it easy to switch between different attachments and settings.
Performance and Experience
The Supersonic r is very fast, but the biggest improvement is not necessarily a dramatic reduction in drying time. The Nural was already fast, so this was never going to feel like a significant change. What changed is how effortless the drying process feels. The r is lighter, easier to maneuver, and more comfortable to move around the head, while the Powerful air attachment gets a lot of moisture out quickly.
The experience feels quicker because there is less effort involved, with less switching hands, less awkward positioning, and less wondering whether the hair is dry enough to stop. The Supersonic r feels more like a styling tool that happens to dry hair very quickly, rather than just a hair dryer. The body is so light, and the airflow is easier to direct, making it feel more intuitive to work around the roots, front pieces, and crown.
The Professional design of the Supersonic r works surprisingly well at home, with features like an extra-long 12.5-foot cord and a professional-grade filter designed to withstand heavier use. The US Supersonic r Professional is designed for 120V, so it is not something that can be taken to Europe with a simple travel adapter.

The Supersonic r is not necessarily an upgrade that everyone needs, but for those who want a more effortless and intuitive drying experience, it may be worth considering. The writer, who had been using the Supersonic for years, is glad they finally made the switch and would not want to go back to their old dryer. The hair dryer market has seen significant advancements in recent years, with many high-end models offering advanced features and improved performance.
The Supersonic r’s Hyperdymium motor spins at up to 110,000 rpm and creates a high-pressure stream of controlled air, making it a powerful and efficient dryer. The heating system has also been completely redesigned, with 10 heater foils positioned along the shape of the machine to heat the airflow more evenly. Temperature sensors monitor the air more than 20 times a second, continually regulating the heat to ensure a safe and effective drying experience.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The Supersonic r is a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Supersonic Nural. Its lighter weight, smaller shape, and intelligent attachments make it a joy to use, and its ability to remember user preferences adds to its convenience. While it may not be necessary for everyone to upgrade, those who value ease of use and a more intuitive styling experience may find it to be a worthwhile investment.
