The verdict
The Dyson Supersonic (HD08) pairs a 110,000 rpm V9 motor with heat control that Dyson says checks temperature over 40 times a second, five magnetic attachments and a 2-year warranty, for ₹24,900 on Dyson India. It suits daily stylers with long hair; the catch is the price.
Best for
- People who dry and style long or thick hair every day
- Households with mixed hair types that will use the diffuser and gentle air attachments
Skip it if
- You dry your hair a few times a week; a ₹2,000 to ₹6,000 dryer will do the job
- You want Dyson's newest sensors; the Supersonic Nural adds scalp protect and attachment learning
What we like
- Dyson V9 motor at up to 110,000 rpm with Air Multiplier technology (Dyson)
- Heat measured over 40 times a second to avoid extreme heat (Dyson)
- Five magnetic attachments, including Flyaway, Gentle air, Diffuser and Smoothing nozzle, plus a case
- 2-year warranty, a 10-day return window on Dyson.in and a toll-free service line
- TechRadar calls it the best hair dryer you can buy if you can afford it
What we don’t
- ₹24,900 even after a "limited period" price drop from ₹33,900 (MRP ₹36,900)
- TechRadar found the control buttons awkwardly placed
- Dyson recommends cleaning the filter every month
- A Flipkart reseller listing was ₹35,055, far above Dyson's own price
- TechRadar says it adds little volume, if that matters for your style

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this dryer. Specs, price, warranty and importer details come from Dyson India’s product page, and the comparison with the Nural and filter-care advice from Dyson India’s hair dryer page, both read on 12 November 2026. Independent impressions come from TechRadar’s long-running review.
We found no lab measurements of drying time or noise that we could rely on, could not open Amazon.in, and have no measurements of our own. This page covers the standard Supersonic, not the newer Supersonic Nural.
What you get on paper
Dyson India lists this as the Supersonic, model HD08. Its V9 digital motor sits in the handle and spins at up to 110,000 rpm, and Dyson says intelligent heat control measures the air temperature over 40 times a second to avoid extreme heat. It has four heat settings including a cold shot, three speeds, negative ions, and five magnetic attachments that rotate 360°, plus a presentation case. Rated power is 1,380 W, and it weighs 0.66 kg. It is made in Malaysia.
What independent reviews found
TechRadar’s verdict is that “there simply is no better hair dryer on the market” if you can afford it. It praises the airflow, the balance of having the motor in the handle, and a smooth, shiny finish. Its complaints: the buttons are placed where you have to stop and reach for them, it adds little volume, and it is very expensive. TechRadar’s text describes temperature checks 20 times a second, which reflects an earlier version; Dyson India now says over 40.
What owners report
Dyson India’s page shows 4.7 out of 5, and its structured data gives 27,626 reviews; we could not tell whether that count covers only India or only this model. A Flipkart reseller listing showed 3.4 from 7 ratings, with one review saying it is as loud as any other dryer and not worth the price.
Support and warranty
Dyson India lists a 2-year warranty, a 10-day return policy when bought on Dyson.in, and the toll-free line 1-800-258-6688. Dyson Technology India Pvt Ltd is the importer.
Should you buy it?
If you dry and style long hair every day and ₹24,900 is affordable, the evidence says the Supersonic is still one of the best dryers made, and Dyson’s current price is well below its MRP. For occasional use, the extra speed and care are hard to justify against a good ₹2,000 to ₹6,000 dryer. Buy from Dyson or an authorised seller; the Flipkart reseller price we saw was ₹10,000 higher.
