 If you don't have long hair, then you probably don't know what it's like to have to blow dry long hair on a regular basis. But I can tell you from experience that it can take a ridiculously long time. Yeah, that's something we actually agree on. Yeah. So that's why I was really excited to try out Dyson's new Supersonic hairdryer. Now, Dyson, of course, is known for its excellent vacuum cleaners, but in this case, it took the digital motor technology from its vacuums and put it into this cool, futuristic $400 hairdryer. Shut the front door. $400? Yeah, this is expensive, but good products tend to cost a lot. Stop it. OK, this hairdryer that I got at my local pharmacy, the Conair 1875-watt Turbo Styler, cost $21. Yeah, but this one looks way cooler. And the motor is in the handle, unlike that hairdryer or really any other hairdryer I think I've used before. So what does that do? Well, for one, it means the head can be designed like this, which is super sleek, unlike that long nozzle you've got there. But more importantly, it means that the weight is more evenly distributed as you're using it. I am still not sold. OK, well, maybe this will impress you. The Supersonic hairdryer has a glass-feed thermistor. You mean a thermometer? Yeah, basically. But what it's supposed to do is regulate the temperature of the air as it is coming out of the Supersonic dryer so that in theory, even if you have it popped up to the highest heat level, you won't totally fry your hair. I mean, blow-drying your hair every day is going to damage it eventually, whether you have a special glass-feed thermistor or not. True. But also, the motor in the Supersonic dryer spins at 110,000 revolutions per minute or RPM. The conventional hairdryer has a motor that's around 20,000 to 30,000 RPM. OK, this is a lot of technical jargon, when what I really want to know is how well does that dry my hair for $400? OK, so why don't we have a little contest, like a dry-off or whatever you want to call it? Just basic drying, no elaborate styling. Yeah, I'm game. I'm game. Let's test this. All right. In fact, wait till you hear how quiet it is. It's super quiet. OK, that is not as quiet as I thought it was. What? See? My $21 Conair didn't take all that much longer than your fancy Dyson. I don't know. I think my hair looks smoother. Mm, does it? Yeah. Oh, and this does come with a diffuser for people with curly hair. Yeah, I mean, mine comes with a diffuser too. Not only a diffuser, also a styling concentrator. OK, well, this comes with a diffuser and a styling concentrator and a smoother. And the cool thing is that they're magnetized. So when you put them on, you just go like this. So let me get this straight. Both of us had our hair dried in around five to seven minutes. But your Dyson looks way cooler, has some temperature control features, has a really powerful motor, and has some magnetic attachments. And you are willing to pay $400 for that. OK, the point is not that this is going to do something radically different from what yours does. It's a hairdryer. It dries hair. It doesn't make you look like a supermodel. However, I can appreciate that this is a cool new piece of technology in a market that really has been the same for a long time. I mean, Dyson is known for bringing cool stuff into its vacuum and its home environment line of products. And this time, it decided to tackle the hairdryer. So while I personally probably wouldn't spend $400 on this hairdryer, I can appreciate that it's a cool piece of technology that hopefully will someday be maybe a little bit less expensive. OK, well, until that happens, I'm just going to stick with my $21 hairdryer because it's fine. It works just fine. She's such a killjoy. Well, maybe this will impress you. This has a glass bead thermistor. Thermistor? Thermistor. Thermistor. Be right back. Go to the thermistor.
 If you don't have long hair, then you probably
