Heck, I'm still using my 20 year old dollar store hair dryer. 10 bucks. It fits in a drawer.

I wouldn't mind a state of the art hair dryer. It takes forever to dry all my hair, so I usually don't bother and just go to bed with a towel on my pillow. And it's still wet when I wake up!

Dyson prices never come down like other things. I remember buying my big screen TV when they first hit the market to the tune of $2100. Now, you can pick up a nice one for under $500. Amazing. lol
So, if you buy it on Best Buy right now, you pay the $399 BUT you get a $50 Best Buy gift card as a gift.
The reviews on Best Buy are high - here's one that speaks to me:
Really, really cool--but worth the price?

I'm about as low maintenance a female as you can get. I have never spent more than $40 on a hair dryer. The result? I almost never use a hair dryer. I hate them. My arms always get tired, I never seem to get the style I want, I always need a third arm anyway... frizz everywhere, even though my hair is pretty straight and simple. Just better to air dry or put it up in a pony tail when it's even long enough for it.
But I'm not telecommuting anymore, and I have to look "nice" for work again. Ugh. So the arrival of my Dyson hair dryer to try was an opportunity to see if there was a better way.
When you think of the price of this hair dryer... I can't help but think... what life changing miracle does this device hold for that kind of moolah? I mean, how many other great things could you buy for that kind of money? This must be the most amazing hair dryer in the world!
Let me stop you right there. There's no life changing miracle. It's a hair dryer. It blows hot air and, if you want it to, cold air. It dries your hair. It has some attachments and a power cord. It's a hair dryer. You still have to hold it, your arm will still get tired, it still makes noise. If you've ever had a hair dryer, you pretty much know what you're getting here.
I will say, that this Dyson hair dryer does all of those things FAR BETTER than any other hair dryer I've ever used or had a professional hair dresser use on me. Yes, it dries my hair--but it does it in half the time and with almost no frizz compared to a traditional "gun" style dryer with regular heating elements. I have a straight, chin-length bob, thick hair. Going for straight-up speed, on the medium intensity setting, high heat, my hair went from dripping out of the shower to bone dry in five minutes flat. I managed to style it the next day in 10-15, and as I get the hang of it, my time is getting better.
My hair is drying the smoothest it's ever been, and what's kind of more amazing is that my simple under-curled bob is holding its style for a second day if I don't take a shower the next morning. I just brush it out and I'm good to go.
The dryer is still heavy--not really any lighter than a regular dryer. But the center of gravity is better, with the motor in the handle, rather than at the top of the handle, so it feels much better. It's also still loud, but not nearly as loud as a traditional dryer, especially on the lower settings. I also love that there is no heating element--no burnt hair smell ever! ...Though I did notice that if you use an attachment, don't touch it during or right after using the dryer--it will be very hot!
I love that it came with all of the attachments you could want. They attach magnetically, which is a great touch... it makes it easy to rotate the smoothing nozzle, for example, to get a better angle on your round brush if you can't quite get your arm positioning right! The controls are also simple and sleek. The design of this dryer really is beautiful, and it's built to last. I have a tiny counter, so I have managed to have it slide into the sink, and even onto the floor once or twice, no worse for wear. It has never slipped out of my hand--it's got a nice kind of almost rubberized surface to it which prevents slippage, but does kind of pick up grit if your counter is a bit dirty.
So the Dyson hair dryer really is an amazing gadget. I'm using it often (compared to pretty much never using a hair dryer at all), so in that regard, I guess I have to think of it as an investment. If you're buying this thing, it's because you're serious about your hair care, and expect to get a lot of quality use out of it for a long time.
But I really can't get over the price. If it was even $100 cheaper, I could consider it a better "value for the price" and give it a full five stars (and I fully admit that this a personal judgement call). If you have the money to spend, or hair care is a priority for you, this is probably a great purchase.
