Thank you for your review! I think it is the most honest review of this dryer I have seen yet. You are the first person to mention the difference between the consumer and professional version. I think a lot of people are buying the consumer version thinking it is the professional one most people are reviewing. I cannot see how $50 difference in the two dryer accounts for the differences in the models. At $399 for the consumer version, you should be getting everything the professional version has IMO.
I was told the dyson professional has a more durable motor that Is supposed to outlast the consumer version, from dyson over the phone when purchasing.
Looking at those specs they are 100% identical aside cable length. Different filter is really doesn't matter at all. Temps are exactly re same in both versions. So how are they different again?
The diffuser gets really hot even on lowest setting because of the metal mesh they put into the diffuser. I carved out the plastic piece and pulled that metal mesh piece out and the diffuser works way better now. I also use ear plus when I diffuse my hair
Need one for my modern pompadour 👌🏻, well I might as well buy the professional for only $50 difference, what's $50 more when both are already at $400? Awesome review!!!!!!!!!!
Do you then recommend the professional before the consumer? And the narrow nozzles of the two for short masculine hair and lifting bangs go exactly the same?
Hello! what about durability after years? is the professional more durable? that is the most important thing to me, because I only can buy this once in life . thanks
Thank you for this review. Just unfortunate I bought the consumer one not realizing there is a difference. I am def going to return mine and get the professional one. I am a hairstylist and I believe in buying the best tools out there for sure.
I have read somewhere, that the black consumer model is the cheapest one they make. Like more plastic. So that could be the reason why it got so hot. The more expensive version like the blue or completely fuchsia one are made out of metal. Those are really the same as the professional ones except for cord length and the filter. I used both and honestly couldn't tell a difference. But I didn't had the black one.
Thanks for this video! I am considering purchasing the dyson professional version. I have a ghd blowdryer. Have you tried the ghd? If so, how does it compare to the dyson?
Ghd dryer is just a regular dryer. Absolutely nothing special. And is very loud. The Dyson supersonic is a different level. The hair is shinny and no frizz.
Do the professional model nozzles fit on the consumer version? I’ve heard the magnets are stronger but I would like to know if they are the same size and will work on the consumer version.
I'm a bit confused. I just looked at the specs on the dyson website and it says the professional model is a 5.9 lbs. That seems crazy. Did something change since you made this video a year ago?
The consumer version is overall hotter, which many would say that's not ideal. I prefer the heat settings/temperature of the professional version because each setting is regulated better.
I'm a little confused as to why they would feel different in the hand and work differently considering they have the same specs except for the cord length and the filter. Could you elaborate please?
As was I! After analyzing the specs over and over and realizing that I had two of (almost) the same exact thing, I reached out to a man who co-created the Dyson Supersonics. I asked him what the differences were and he confirmed what I had already discovered: the only change is the cord and filter. So the only thing I can think of is MAYBE they altered the type of material used or changed the way they built them? Because with my professional experience and now almost two years use of both hair dryers, I know for a fact that they feel and perform slightly different. Hope this helps and thank you for the question!
@@GracelynMariaHaircould it just be you got two hair dryers and one works better by chance? Happens with cars as well. Take the same exact car and the motors perform differently. 🤷♂️ buying for my wife and while I should’ve just bought the professional version I liked getting the case for her. But now I’m thinking I should send it back and get the professional model. Great review though
would you recommend the professional version for consumer use over the consumer version? I can get my hands on the professional but don't know if it's necessary. Are there differences in the attachments themselves (other than the strength of the magnet)? I've heard the width of the attachments and the diffuser prong length are different but I'm not sure if you can even tell? Background: I'm a consumer but my mom is a professional and would purchase it using her license for me. So I don't have stylist expertise. Are the attachments on the professional more difficult for a consumer to use? Would there be more of a learning curve for blowing out and diffusing? Is the extra cord length noticeable? I'm afraid that 11ft would be too long while traveling or in my small bathroom. Is the cord thicker? Is the difference in how loud they are VERY noticeable as well? Do both offer the same four heat levels? I wasn't sure
Hello Miranda, thank you for the comment! Yes, if you can get your hands on the professional version I would do that! Its overall performance and the feeling of it in your hand is unbeatable. The attachments are mostly the same, except you do get one wider, thinner concentrator with the pro version. I use the wider concentrator all the time in the salon because it delivers smoother resulted while round brushing. The diffusers are exactly the same in how they're made and they're performance. The attachment are not difficult to use at all! They just pop right on and aid it whatever style you want to achieve. As far as the cord length, I personally love a long cord even at home because it means I can move around while drying my hair. But the extra 2 feet don't seem to get in my way at all even in my bathroom and the cords are the same thickness. The noise difference stands out more to me because I am around blowdryers everyday and am attune to the differences in pitch, tone, etc. BUT if you as a consumer were to hear the two you might not hear much of a difference. So with that said the I prefer the sound/noise level of the professional one more because I have to hear it all day long and I have more sensitive ears. 🤪 Yes, both offer the same four heat settings and three air flow settings.
Thank you! This was so helpful! I was mostly just worried about cord length (but I guess two feet isn't a huge difference) and the attachments. I wasn't sure if the concentrator would be more difficult for someone like me to get the hang of who is not a professional. I thought maybe the slimmer concentrator required more technique. Mostly want to purchase for the safety and less damage to my hair so if it provides that that's what's important
@@mirandaleschke Yes, it's the best on the market especially if you blow dry your hair on a regular basis! I'm glad I could help! Let me know if/when you purchase it! I would love to know how you like it 😊
Thanks for the video. I’m glad I chose the professional one. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a fly away attachment. Can you please advise if the attachments of the retail version are compatible with the professional?
According to the Dyson website, both versions have the same speed and heat settings. I'm a bit confused as to why you had a better time with the professional version 🤔 Was the heat adjustment not working on the regular version?
Other have comment the same thing, so you're not alone! After analyzing the specs over and over and realizing that I had two of (almost) the same exact thing, I reached out to a man who co-created the Dyson Supersonics.

on dyson's website, it says you can call for an exclusive discounts for professionals only. thus, what was the discount for the professional one and do beauty students qualify?
The professional version is $300 whereas the consumer version is $400. I had to provide a cosmetology license number to order mine, but I would contact them and ask!
@@GracelynMariaHair omg! That’s a good discount! I was wondering how much it would be, thinking maybe only like $50 off or something- but that’s even better! I’m ordering mine this week then! Thanks for letting us know! Happy New Year, girl!
@@susanmasonmanning i honestly don't want to give u the wrong answer bcs im US but you can call the dyson number that's listed under the pro edition and they'll ask for license number and they'll tell you the price! nonetheless, i have no doubt it'll be just as great!
Thanks for the question! I mean that it feels more balanced and light weight than the consumer version. It feels like you have nothing in your hand! But yes, the circumference is the same.
@@GracelynMariaHair Oh, okay...got it, thanks for the clarification. I recently purchased the consumer one. It's nice...I love it. Although I wish I could have gotten the professional one. Lol...
@@GracelynMariaHair isn't it true the pro version is slightly heavier than the consumer version due to the stronger magnets or it it just as light weight? I'm considering purchasing this for my mom & gma whose hair I've been styling throughout the pandemic
It blows my mind how Dyson is essentially ripping on their mainstream consumer base for no real reason. Urgh, at this rate I’m probably gonna have to befriend a real stylist just to get them to buy me a Pro supersonic on my behalf. *sigh*
Dyson needs to knock it off with that price though like this is a very nice blow dryer and everything but its not 500 nice I'm sorry, not to mention the fact that you STILL have to chase with a comb or brush which if I have to do that I'm gonna just get a lower end blow dryer and save my money because I don't see the point.. How ever the Revair dryer is more justifiable in its price # 1 because its faster # 2 saves you from having to chase with a tool like with a traditional hair dryer due to its unique suction design so its more practical to invest in something like that then spending 500 on a dyson thats no different than a basic blow dryer except it simply gets alittle hotter than most.. Like if I'm gonna drop 500 bucks give me something with (NEW) technology something thats gonna completely change the game like the "Revair" don't give me an over priced Blow Dryer that gets alittle hotter but i still gotta go through the B.S of chasing with a comb or brush it makes no sense, they are charging a hefty price for the Name not so much quality because this blow dryer gives me $160 quality at best vs the ridiculous 500 dollar price tag.. Same thing with their over priced vacuums now in 2020 that have terrible reviews yet you can get a vacuum for half the price and it out performs dyson yet they have the nerve to charge so much.. This thing is like taking 500 bucks and flushing it down the toilet unless you get one for free as a gift because dyson has lost their minds with that price Tag...
A Playstation 4 is the same price. How many people have that in their home? Your phone that you are holding costs twice as much. Are you a teenager? Lol

Well a consumer will not be using it as much as a profesional. Therefore they burn out faster.
I was told the dyson professional has a more durable motor that Is supposed to outlast the consumer version, from dyson over the phone when purchasing.
Good info. Thanks!
Muchas gracis por el video!! Esta muy guay no se si lo tendre pero me gusto mucho🙌❤
Good info. I debated and bought the consumer version. I do like it. I think I liked the accessories that came with it better. Love your curls! 🤗
This was a great detailed video, very helpful... thanks🙂
Thank you for this video!! Super helpful
You’re welcome! ☺️
Great video, now I understand the difference. Thank you!

Hi. What’s the difference between hg03? Do u know?
can you include a video with all the attachments since theyre different
Great comparison and production quality!

I just bought the profesional, I love it
It's not yet available in Europe 😏😒
does the pro last longer than regular supersonic?

The more expensive version like the blue or completely fuchsia one are made out of metal. Those are really the same as the professional ones except for cord length and the filter.

When you say the blue one, do you mean the Prussian blue + copper? I'm thinking about purchasing this one. Thanks in advance
How old is your black Dyson? Has yours gotten sticky over time?
Thanks for this video! I am considering purchasing the dyson professional version. I have a ghd blowdryer. Have you tried the ghd? If so, how does it compare to the dyson?
Ghd dryer is just a regular dryer. Absolutely nothing special. And is very loud. The Dyson supersonic is a different level. The hair is shinny and no frizz.
Where to buy the Dyson professional?
If you re not a licenced professional in hair industry? You can not avail the pro version?
Do the professional model nozzles fit on the consumer version? I’ve heard the magnets are stronger but I would like to know if they are the same size and will work on the consumer version.
Yes, the professional nozzles fit on the consumer version and vice versa! I often interchange them 😋
Thank you!
i loveeee your hair
I'm a bit confused. I just looked at the specs on the dyson website and it says the professional model is a 5.9 lbs. That seems crazy. Did something change since you made this video a year ago?
I eventually called dyson and ordered after learning that was the shipping weight. Oh wow, I love this dryer so much.
Which one do you think gives of more heat? or do they both feel the same?
The consumer version is overall hotter, which many would say that's not ideal. I prefer the heat settings/temperature of the professional version because each setting is regulated better.

yes that is partially due to the stronger magnets so there is a tradeoff
Just to clarify - do you receive all the attachments when you purchase the professional dryer or do you need to buy those separately?
