Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, $399
It’s almost Christmas. 2018 is almost over. After Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Dyson was running some specials on refurb appliances via their eBay outlet – including their absurdly expensive dryer, the Dyson Supersonic. It was down around what I expressed in March 2017 as being willing to throw at it.
Hmm, interesting.
My poor current dryer, which I reinvigorated earlier this year, is showing different signs of failure. We’ve had a good run, but it seems likely that I will need to replace it before long. The timing can’t be argued-with.
I wrestled with it for a while because even with the heavy discounts it is damn rich for my blood. After a couple weeks, I decided to lose my mind give it a shot. With a sale plus a promo code, I got it the badass Iron/Red combination for $214. Plus, you know, eBates.
The dryer has yet to arrive but should before the holiday. Since it is a refurb, I do not expect it to come in its fabulous retail packaging – but it will come with both concentrators, the diffuser (which I don’t need), the mat, and the hanger.
Admittedly, I am vacillating between, “What have I done?” and, “CAN IT GET HERE ALREADY?! I WANT TO TRY IT.”
I plan to put the dryer to work immediately and will report back with first impressions. Hopefully it suddenly makes me really good at hair.
Congratulations! It really is a good hair dryer. And if that helps alleviate your concern about it being a refurb, I can tell you the first Dyson vacuum cleaner I bought was a refurb. It lasted five years, and I sold it only because I had a really good deal on a new one (the price I got for the refurbed vacuum was about $50 less than what I paid, so that works out to $10 a year!) The new one is fine, but TBH, Dyson refurbs are really excellent. You should do well with it. ?
