Save $100: As of Aug. 5, you can grab the Dyson Supersonic Origin on Dyson's website for $299.99, netting you a 25% discount on the $399.99 hair dryer. Plus, you'll get two free attachments with your purchase.
From the Dyson Airwrap to the Supersonic, I've had my fair share of experience with Dyson beauty products (and their dupes). The question that leads my testing is basically always, "Is this price tag worth it?"
This question is what made me not the biggest fan of the Dyson Supersonic Origin when it was announced last August, but I can admit when a good deal is a good deal. And folks, Dyson's Aug. 5 offering of the Supersonic Origin for $299.99 with two free attachments is a good deal.
As I wrote in my initial post about the hair dryer, the list price of $400 is simply too much for the Origin, considering it comes with only one attachment. The regular Supersonic is $29 more and comes with five, and as I wrote last year, Dyson sells the attachments separately starting at $40 a pop, meaning "If the math was actually mathing, the Supersonic Origin would be retailing for $160 less, coming out to $269.99, which absolutely feels like a better deal."
While this sale price doesn't quite match up, it does offer the some of the best value I've seen on this hair dryer to date. Before you get too excited, I do have to mention that you don't get your pick of free attachment — in addition to the styling concentrator that comes with the dryer, the two offerings are the flyaway attachment and gentle air attachment, which are usually priced $39.99 each.
I also have to take this opportunity to paraphrase my Supersonic review once more and say that Dyson would make bank if they allowed folks to bundle the attachments they actually wanted.
My free business ideas aside, if you've been looking to get the Dyson Supersonic, this is likely one of the best deals you can grab, especially if you don't want to buy refurbished, and if you don't want any attachments that cater to drying hair with natural texture.
