'I tried Dyson's new pint-sized Supersonic r hair dryer and how I felt about it surprised me'

ok.co.uk:

I must admit, I'm a bit lazy when it comes to drying my hair. If there's a hair tool that promises to halve my drying time, protect my locks from heat damage and importantly, not leave my arms feeling like they've just endured an intense Pilates session, then I'm all ears.

So, when the new Dyson Supersonic r landed on my desk a few weeks ago - the latest iteration of the brand's iconic hair dryer which officially launched in the UK this week - I had one burning question: would I shell out £449.99 for it?

Before we delve into the nitty-gritty of the product, here's a quick summary: the Supersonic r (yes, it's shaped like an 'R'! ) is designed to be 30% smaller, 20% lighter and just as effective as its predecessor.

If it looks familiar, that's because it was initially created for professional use only and made its debut at Fashion Week last February.
