The best Dyson Supersonic Prime Day deal isn’t at Amazon

Best Dyson Supersonic deals during Prime Day

As Mashable’s reporter on the Dyson beauty beat, if there’s one piece of advice I can offer you this Prime Day, it’s to not be fooled into thinking Amazon’s Dyson Supersonic Origin deal is worth your money.

You can read my in-depth gripes with the Supersonic Origin here, but the short version is with just one attachment, the Origin’s value doesn’t compare to its more expensive counterparts. However, the regular Supersonic and Supersonic Nural haven’t received a single Prime Day markdown like we typically see — that’s if you’re looking at Amazon. If you want to grab them on sale, you’ll have to head over to Dyson’s website, where you can find the Dyson Supersonic with three attachments down at $319.99 (compared to its usual $399.99), and the Supersonic Nural down to $399.99 (compared to $499.99).

So which Supersonic should you buy? Allow me to break both deals down.

Dyson Supersonic with three attachments

Dyson more recently started offering a slightly cheaper Supersonic with two less attachments than usual. Honestly, I find this to be one of the better Dyson deals, especially because not every hair type needs all five attachments that come with the original Supersonic. On sale, this three-attachment Supersonic sits just around $300 — still steep, but not unheard of for a premium hair dryer. With this bundle, you get a diffuser, styling concentrator, and wide tooth comb. To put this sale price into perspective, Supersonic attachments run for $40 a piece on Dyson’s website. If you get the Origin at its $284.99 sale price, and then decided to later buy two more attachments, you’d be spending around $364.99. Meaning you could buy this Dyson instead, still buy an extra attachment, and be spending $5 less.

Currently, Amazon doesn’t even offer this configuration of the Supersonic, meaning you’re definitely getting the best deal by going straight to the source.

Dyson Supersonic Nural

The Supersonic Nural is an expensive hair dryer. I really only recommend it for those who are very dedicated to their blow drying routine. In my testing, I haven’t noticed it performing leaps and bounds better than the regular Supersonic, but the smart attachments that automatically adjust temp and air speed do add some luxury to the experience. (The app companion is a little less impressive — beyond some generic styling tips, I didn’t find it to be that customizable. And it doesn’t allow for you to remotely controls over the dryer, which although impractical, I do expect at a $500 price point).

While it’s not necessary to purchase this exact dryer to enjoy this perk, one of my favorite parts of the Supersonic Nural is the incredible wave + curl diffuser. While styling, you can pop the center prongs out to be left with a diffuser bowl, which my wavy hair loved for pixie diffusing and getting the best definition and volume. Beyond the diffuser, you’ll get the most amount of attachments with the Nural, including a styling concentrator, a flyaway attachment, a wide tooth comb, and a gentle air attachment. Plus, you’ll get a case. If you want a fancy hair drying experience, the Nural is the way to go — and at $399.99 ($30 less than the current price of the not-on-sale standard Supersonic), it’s much easier to recommend than at full price.
