Which one should you buy?

At our 7 October 2026 check the ghd Helios cost roughly half as much as the Dyson Supersonic. It brings ghd's Aeroprecis technology, which the listing says channels concentrated airflow, to a 2,200W ionic dryer with a contoured nozzle and variable temperature and power controls, sold by Amazon AU.

If you have long, thick, or coarse hair and want salon-quality drying at home, the Dyson Supersonic is the premium option. Its V9 digital motor spins at up to 110,000 RPM, intelligent heat control measures the air temperature over 40 times a second to help prevent heat damage, and this listing comes with flyaway, intelligent drying and styling attachments. At the 7 October 2026 check it was sold by Mobileciti, a third-party seller, with limited stock. Pay the extra only if you have hair to the shoulders or thicker.

The Remington Proluxe Dryer is the rental and second-bathroom pick: 2,400W with ceramic ionic technology, Intelligent PROheat temperature control and 3 heat / 2 speed settings plus a cool shot, sold by Amazon AU. It suits households where the hair dryer is used a few times a week and a premium dryer is hard to justify.

One honest limitation: none of these three is a hair dryer and hot brush combo. Multi-styling tools combine drying with brush styling in one motion, a different product category covered in our hair dryer brush guide.
