About the new Dyson Supersonic
The Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer hasn’t changed. But, after rigorously testing different hair types in our laboratories, it now comes with new attachments designed to style different types of hair. And because we’re constantly evolving our machines, we’ve re-engineered the Diffuser and Styling concentrator.
How is the new Styling concentrator different from the old one
We’ve re-engineered the Styling concentrator to be wider and thinner. It now spans the width of a typical brush or section of hair, for more efficient styling. And is thinner to create an even more precise airflow, allowing you to style one section at a time without disturbing the rest.
How is the new Diffuser different from the old one
Even though our owners liked our old Diffuser, some women with longer, thicker hair felt their hair needed more space. To address this we’ve lengthened the prongs to style more hair at once, with greater control. Air can now penetrate deeper into the hair. We’ve also added a new double-woven mesh layer inside the Diffuser to improve airflow. This creates a more even, less disrupted, airflow to reduce frizz.
What does the Gentle air attachment do
The Gentle air attachment provides a softer, more diffused airflow while still allowing fast drying. It does this by maintaining the same amount of energy as the hair dryer without an attachment through diffusing the air over a larger area. This reduces the focus, impact and heat on the scalp making it feel more comfortable. This allows users to have the benefit of using the product in the high flow and high heat settings.
Taking inspiration from the engineering behind a jet engine, chevrons have been added to help create controlled air mixing and reduce sound power from the machine.
What does the Wide-tooth comb attachment do
Engineered for curly and textured hair, the new Wide-tooth comb attachment has robust teeth to help lengthen hair as it dries, or create volume and shape.
Using your machine abroad
Your appliance may be used in a country with an electricity supply within the same range as that of where your appliance was purchased:
220-240V
Australia
China
Egypt
Europe
Greenland
Hong Kong
India
Indonesia
Ireland
Malaysia
New Zealand
Peru
Philippines
Russia
Singapore
South Africa
South Korea
Thailand
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom
100-127V
Canada
Japan
Mexico
Taiwan
United States of America
For example, if you take a machine purchased in the United Kingdom to Europe, it will work. If you take a machine purchased in the United States to Europe, it will not switch on.
How to use the accessories
Magnetic accessories can be quickly and easily attached to the front of the machine. They can be rotated 360 degrees so you can position them precisely where you need them.

Smoothing nozzle
Dries hair gently using smooth air.

Styling concentrator
Fast, precise airflow for controlled styling, one section at a time.

Diffuser
Evenly disperses airflow to dry curls gently and help reduce frizz. Recommended for use on low temperature and flow settings.

Gentle air attachment
Designed to be kinder to fine hair and sensitive scalps. Add volume at the roots, or create texture through the lengths.

Wide-tooth comb attachment
Engineered for curly and textured hair. Lengthen hair, or tease out curls just a little bit.

Pacemakers
The manual recommends to keep away from pacemakers, defibrillators, credit cards and electronic storage media. The product is compliant (CE marked) and if there are any concerns then consult with a doctor with regards to specific requirements of your pacemaker.
The magnets have been measured to product approximately 300 gauss.
Finding the machine serial number
The serial number can be found in the following locations:
On the front of the instruction manual.
On the box of the machine.
On the power cord near the plug.
We're glad the problem's been solved.
