Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review
The lightest, best-balanced dryer we'd recommend, with genuine heat control. Worth the steep premium if you dry long or thick hair often, and hard to justify if you don't.

Shark HyperAIR Hair Dryer Review
Much of the premium hair-dryer experience for a fraction of the top price. It's bulkier and a touch less refined than the class leader, and for most people, that's the right trade.
