The verdict

Why it scored a 85

At $449.99, Dyson's smart dryer leans on Quality (95) and Satisfaction (94), built on a 110,000 rpm digital motor and a time-of-flight Scalp Protect sensor that automatically pulls back heat near the scalp. Warranty is the weak link at 66 — just two years of parts and labor — and Consumer Reports flags a learning curve where the sensor can misread distance on the back of the head, plus a shorter handle than some testers like. The cheaper original Supersonic and budget Supersonic Origin remain on sale alongside it, capping Value at 72.
