TECH15

As part of Myer's Christmas shopping event, the Dyson Supersonic is reduced to $549.

Apply code TECH15 for a further $15 off, bringing it down to $534.

At the moment, it seems that only David Jones and Myer stock this hairdryer, so unfortunately it's not on any of the regular Good Guys or Bing Lee eBay sales.

Like almost everything Dyson not everyone's going to see the value in such a hairdryer, but for those of you with significant others this might help get Christmas sorted this year!

I suspect this sale may finish today.

    Why is it so expensive?

    • SteveAndBelle on 22/11/2016 - 14:26

      It's a Dyson! Dyson tend to reinvent the wheel and doing so has massive R&D costs associated. Sometimes the reinvented wheel is a hit even if it isn't superior to existing products. Other times the masses really don't care and the product gets canned. Dyson has had a history of successes AND complete flops.

        What are the flops?

        • SteveAndBelle on 22/11/2016 - 14:28

          Quite a few over the last 20+ years. Here's a fun read: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/dyson-sucks-harder-than-elect…

          Don't get me wrong, I now own a Dyson but have resisted the hype for many years. The only reason I forked out the OTT asking price was because the V8 series has only just started providing the ability (run-times mainly) I expect from a product with such a high price tag. We can now pack the 20+ year old Nilfisk King away and finally enjoy vacuuming without a cord for more than 20-30 minutes at a time.

          Each to their own. If you can justify the cost for the actual benefits of a Dyson product then great but if not there are many other products available that will do the job for far, far less money.

          Thanks - enjoyed the humorous & interesting read😯

      If you believe the hype/reviews, it dries hair faster and better. If you have a lot of hair, the benefit could potentially be quite real. For example, drying my wife's hair takes a good 30 minutes using a 2000W hair dryer. If this Dyson can cut that time in half for example, then that's 15 minutes of her time that she gets back every few days.

        • atlas on 23/11/2016 - 09:26

          Well I am guessing your wife (if you have one) doesn't have long thick hair, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

          Why do you think there are blow-dry bars popping up all over the place?

      • Tiggrrrrr on 22/11/2016 - 15:06

        There are some extremely good hairdryers out there for a fraction of the price of this.

        eg http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews/product/6349122/chi-rocke…

        Also "cuts hair drying time in half". And is 1/5th the cost of this Dyson.

        Unfortunately, this wasn't the case in the Buzzfeed review.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQk56_ZJEOo

        But I do agree, the better the hair dryer the faster the drying, save more time and time = money. But this one just isn't worth it.

        I purchased a $50 hairdryer for COTD, it's a discontinued salon hair dryer that RRPs at $250 and it outperforms the Dyson. Bit noisier but whatever.

          save more time and time = money

          It doesn't literally. This is only true if that time you saved was spent earning money, and not lounging around.

          Most people have jobs at set hours, so finishing tasks earlier doesn't allow you to start work sooner and earn more money.

          Some self-important people like to say, this movie was a total waste of 2 hours of my time. My time is worth $50 an hour, so I just lost $100 seeing this movie. Umm, no you didn't. Unless you took the day off work to see it, your leisure time is worth nothing.

      It's (the brand) a status symbol because it's overpriced, much like Apple.

      • SteveAndBelle on 22/11/2016 - 15:14

        Yes, there was an interesting correlation someone researched several years ago on consumers who purchased Apple, Dyson & VWs. It was just something I found online but can't find it anymore and probably wouldn't stack up these days but very interesting nevertheless. Marketing is an interesting beast and has a lot to answer for :)

      Dyson they are the Apple of the vacuum world, :)

      • lostn on 22/11/2016 - 21:27

        Apple are a rip off, but they don't sell a product 10 times more expensive than other comparable products.

      It uses the same Air Multiplier tech as their bladeless fans. Which are also expensive if you hadn't noticed.

      • Jackson on 23/11/2016 - 00:06

        Also a massive waste of money

      What do you mean by fan and element? Are these attachments or are you referring to the actual inner components? Were you looking at a display model?
