I'm not going to sugarcoat it: the Dyson Supersonic is expensive as hell.
In fact, in most cases, as Mashable's shopping reporter covering beauty tech, I recommend buying a dupe instead. But when it goes on sale, especially for $100 off, it's worth giving this hair dryer a second look. And at the $329 Amazon has it at as of Oct. 14, I think the Dyson Supersonic is much more worth your money, especially if you're someone who uses a hair dryer regularly and has been looking to upgrade. (For anyone who appreciates a dedicated storage case, Dyson has this dryer with a case for $329.99 on their website. For folks who dislike Amazon, Best Buy has the dryer, sans case, for $329.99).
So what makes this hair dryer so special? Without getting too technical, the unique design allows for a hair dryer that's lighter than most, quieter than most (with the stipulation that it's not necessarily quiet — it's still a hair dryer), and generally provides a faster dry. (If you want to read more about how its design works, you can check out my full review of the Supersonic). When I used this dryer when my hair was at its longest (more than halfway down my back), it reliably took 15 minutes to dry my entire head.

While it stands out among other hair dryers, it certainly felt priced like a luxury, and that price discrepancy didn't match up with the performance discrepancy.

However, at $329, the price becomes slightly easier to swallow, especially for someone who regularly uses a blow dryer to dry their hair. If you've been looking to treat yourself or buy the hair lover in your life an especially nice gift, grabbing the Dyson Supersonic for $100 off nets you a pretty good deal.
