Dyson Airwrap i.d. review: After six months of use, this is what I love (and what could be better)
£479.99 Buy now Price at Dyson What is the Dyson Airwrap i.d.? The Dyson Airwrap i.d., released in August 2024, is the latest version of Dyson's popular hair styling tool. Sitting at the higher end of the market, it introduces built-in Bluetooth – a first for Dyson's hair tools – which links the device to the MyDyson app. This allows users to set up a personal hair profile, and lets the Airwrap automate the curling process based on individual hair type, aiming for more consistent and longer-lasting results. With its premium price and updated features, the Airwrap i.d. is positioned as a high-spec option for those interested in the latest technology. It comes in two models: 'straight and wavy' for those with straight or wavy hair and 'with diffuser' for those with curly or coily hair. The idea is that the £480 Dyson Airwrap i.d. is the only hair styler you need, allowing you to ditch your hair dryer and hot brushes. JUMP TO: How we test hair stylers I've been reviewing beauty technology for a decade and I've not only used every hair styler Dyson has introduced over the last 10 years, from the original Supersonic hair dryer to the Airstrait, but I have also used many competitor hair stylers, including Shark's FlexStyle and SmoothStyle Hot Brush, as well as GHD's hair stylers such as the latest GHD Wave. When we test hair curlers, we predominantly use five testing metrics to score against: ease of use; curl performance and hold; comfort and safety (whether there is any scalp discomfort or risk of burns); suitability for different hair types and build quality and features. It isn't just about how a hair curler scores on a spreadsheet though, and the Airwrap is more than just a hair curler too so it requires extra testing and considerations. As such, I have been using the Dyson Airwrap i.d. for six months so I now have a very good idea what I like about it and what could be better. I've used each of the straight and wavy model's six attachments on my own locks to create different hair styles during those months, but I have also tested the Airwrap i.d. on friends and family with various hair types, requesting images and feedback from each person afterwards to see how long styles lasted. Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product.

All reviews are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Ease of use Score: 9/10 Using the Dyson Airwrap i.d. is refreshingly straightforward, whether you're new to hair styling or have years of experience. I've found it easier than most curlers, and definitely simpler than earlier Airwrap models. To curl, you just section your hair and hold the end near the barrel; the device's airflow technology does the rest, automatically wrapping your hair around the attachment. There's no manual twisting required. Setting up a hair profile in the MyDyson app is quick – about a minute – asking a few questions about your hair type, skill level and how well your hair holds a curl. Once set, activating 'i.d. curl' mode means the Airwrap automatically adjusts timing and technique for your hair type. You can tweak these settings in the app if needed. Changing attachments is also hassle-free: they lock in with a click and release with a button push. While magnetic attachments would be a welcome upgrade, overall, the Airwrap i.d. is exceptionally easy to use. Curl performance and hold Score: 10/10 The Dyson Airwrap i.d. (Straight and Wavy) includes six attachments: two curling barrels, a round volumising brush, an anti-snag loop brush, a dryer and flyaway smoother, a fast dryer and a filter cleaning brush. I use the 40mm long barrel most for bouncy curls and waves, which takes me around 45 minutes and lasts for days, while the slimmer conical barrel creates tighter curls that work better on finer hair. You can switch curl direction with a twist of the barrel top, which is much easier than swapping barrels as with earlier models. Both barrels use negative ions to reduce static and Coanda airflow, a technology that helps hair wrap around the barrel and creates a smooth finish. The dryer and flyaway smoother tames frizz and is handy for rough drying, though I prefer the flyaway attachment from Dyson's Supersonic range. The round brush adds volume, which I particularly love for my fringe, and the fast dryer speeds up the process. For straight styles, the anti-snag brush is effective, though not as smooth as a hair straightener. Comfort and safety Score: 9/10 The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is not the smallest styler out there, but I've never found it heavy or uncomfortable to use, even during my 45-minute styling sessions. Its larger size brings a variety of styling options, which I consider a fair trade-off. There are two heat settings plus a cold option. I find even the hottest setting comfortable on my scalp, including when using the narrower conical barrel that curls closer to the roots for tighter curls. For my fringe, I prefer the lower heat on the round brush to avoid discomfort. The Airwrap i.d. uses intelligent heat control to keep temperatures below 150C, protecting hair from damage common with traditional ceramic curlers. Its high-speed motor spins fast to generate the Coanda airflow that wraps hair using air rather than extreme heat. The device also shuts off automatically if the filter needs cleaning and reduces airflow when a curl sequence finishes. Suitability for different hair types Score: 9/10 The Dyson Airwrap i.d. comes in two models tailored to different hair types, and I've tested it on my own very long, thick and naturally wavy hair that is hard to style. I've always found the Airwrap effective, but the i.d. model gives me longer-lasting curls, especially thanks to the i.d. curl mode, which sets each curl with a longer cool shot than I'd manage manually. The dryer and flyaway smoother attachment is also useful, as it means I don't need a separate Supersonic hair dryer just for taming frizz. On friends with finer or shorter hair, the slimmer barrel produced curls that held for about a day, compared to several days on my hair. If your hair struggles to hold a curl, the i.d. curl sequence can help, but it may not work miracles. For very curly hair, I found the Airwrap i.d. worked best from wet. Overall, I think those with medium to thick, mid to long hair will see the best results. Build quality and features Score: 9/10 The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is offered in several colours, including jasper plum, but all versions have the same attachments and design. The build quality is excellent, with a smooth aluminium handle that feels cool in the hand and matte-finished plastic on the controls and attachments. I would have liked to see magnetic attachments, like those on Dyson's Supersonic hair dryers, which snap on easily. RFID, or radio frequency identification, would also be useful here – a technology that allows the device to recognise which attachment is connected and automatically adjust settings, which would be handy since I often change heat and airflow for each tool. The Airwrap i.d. can store only one hair profile, so if someone else wants to use it, they'll need to style manually. Setting curls without the i.d. curl mode takes a bit more effort than on older models, as you now have to adjust the temperature control rather than just sliding to the cold shot button. The controls are easy to reach and the 2.68m cord is practical. Technical specifications I've compared the Dyson Airwrap i.d. to the older Dyson Airwrap (Complete Long) to show the differences between the models and help you understand what the new model offers apart from Bluetooth connectivity. Should you buy the Dyson Airwrap i.d.? The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is a fantastic multi styler that has a premium build quality, some excellent attachments for multiple hair styles and uses Bluetooth connectivity to deliver personalised curling results that can last for days on certain hair types. It is expensive and only being able to save one hair profile means it's not a hair styler you could easily share in a household, but if you're looking for bouncy, effortless curls with the option of a few other styles, it is the only hair styler you'll need in your life. Yes, if: You want bouncy curls with minimal effort You want a hair styler that can deliver multiple styles You want to protect your hair from extreme heat No, if: You have short hair that doesn't hold a curl You are more interested in wearing your hair straight You're on a budget Dyson Airwrap i.d. FAQs What is the Dyson Airwrap i.d.? The Airwrap i.d. is the latest Airwrap hair styler from Dyson. It was announced in August 2024 and it offers a personalised curling sequence when you connect it to the MyDyson app and set up a hair profile. How is it different from previous Airwrap models? The biggest difference between the Dyson Airwrap i.d. and previous Airwrap models is the Airwrap i.d. works with a companion app – MyDyson – to allow you to create a hair profile to get a personalised curling sequence. When in i.d curl mode, the Airwrap i.d. will use your profile to wrap, style and cool hair in a pre-defined sequence automatically, lowering air flow when the section is complete. The Airwrap i.d. also has three new attachment options and it's lighter. Is the Dyson Airwrap i.d. worth it? Yes, the Dyson Airwrap i.d. is worth every penny, if you have the right hair for it. Results do somewhat depend on your hair type despite the clever technology on board. On my hair, it is superb and my favourite hair styler, but on some friends I tested it on, the results weren't as impressive or the curls held for less time. If your hair has never managed to hold a curl, there's a good chance the Airwrap i.d. won't be able to perform a miracle. What does the 'i.d. curl' feature do, and how does it work? After you connect the Dyson Airwrap i.d. to the MyDyson app, you can set up a hair profile. This involves answering six questions, which include your hair length, type, skill level and how well your hair holds a curl as well as what styles you're trying to achieve. The MyDyson app then creates a personalised styling sequence, called i.d. curl, with timings for wrapping, curling and setting your hair based on your profile. When you push the power button all the way up, the i.d curl sequence will start. You hold a section of hair up to the Airwrap i.d. and it will wrap it automatically for a set number of seconds, style it for a further few seconds and set it with a cold shot at the end. The Airwrap i.d. will then enter 'ultra low flow mode' when the sequence is finished, releasing the curl. You then start the sequence again with another section of hair and another push up of the power button. Do I need the MyDyson app to use the Airwrap i.d.? No, you can use the Airwrap i.d. without the MyDyson app but you won't get the most out of it. Each attachment can be used without any setup through the app, but to get the best curling results, I'd recommend using the i.d. curl feature, which you do need the MyDyson app for. Are the new Dyson Airwrap i.d. attachments compatible with old Airwrap models?

Best-selling Dyson fan heater is flying off the shelves with $200 off for a limited time
When it comes to staying warm and breathing clean air in winter, Australians are no longer settling for basic heaters that do half the job. The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link Purifying Fan Heater, now on sale for $599 (down from $799) on Amazon, with more than 100 units sold in the past month alone. This isn't just your average space heater. It's a triple-function machine that heats in winter, cools in summer and purifies the air all year round, making it a smart investment for anyone tired of dusty fans and drying heaters. With Air Multiplier technology, the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool projects a powerful stream of purified air across the room, amplifying surrounding air to deliver an uninterrupted flow. Whether you're sitting in front of the TV or working from your home office, you'll feel the difference in minutes. But what really sets it apart is its 360° filtration system, which captures odours, gases and 99.97 per cent of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes allergens, dust and pollutants. It's tested and rated for filtration efficiency at 0.1 microns, meaning even the tiniest nasties floating in the air are no match for this machine. If you've got pets, live near a busy road or simply value clean indoor air, this feature alone makes the Dyson a standout. One shopper said, 'This is an excellent space heater for my loft apartment. The incorporated air filter is such a bonus to this hot/cold dual unit. My dog loves to lie in front of it during cold nights.

The sleek design hides some clever touches too: a curved, magnetised remote control that neatly sits on top of the unit, easy-to-change filters, and real-time air quality updates via the MyDyson app, which lets you monitor and control the unit from anywhere. With 93 per cent positive ratings from over 1,000 customers and 10,000+ recent orders from the Dyson brand, it's easy to see why this fan heater is flying off the virtual shelves during winter.

Dyson 360 Vis Nav review: It's still the best robot vacuum cleaner you can buy
This article contains affiliate links. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. We may earn a commission when you click a link, buy a product or subscribe to a service. What is the Dyson 360 Vis Nav? The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is a high-end machine that was named the Best Buy in our round-up of the best robot vacuum cleaners. It's not a do-it-all robot vacuum, like the Dreame X50 or Shark PowerDetect models, but it instead combines powerful suction with intelligent navigation. Its standout feature is a 360-degree vision system that maps rooms in real time, allowing for methodical, edge-to-edge cleaning. Unlike many of its competitors, the 360 Vis Nav has a unique D‑shaped body engineered to reach into corners, a full-width brush bar that stretches across the front of the machine, and a side-edge duct that captures dust along skirting boards and in corners. The device connects to the MyDyson app, which provides an interface for viewing maps, adjusting no-go zones and scheduling cleans by room and power mode. It also lets you monitor battery life, bin status and the filter condition. While its premium price may give pause, especially given its lack of self-emptying and mopping capabilities, the 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum cleaner is one of the few that can match the performance of even the best cordless vacuums. A cheaper alternative however is the Hoover HG4 robot vacuum, which was named the Best Value buy in our round-up. JUMP TO: How we test I tested the Dyson 360 Vis Nav by assessing its vacuuming performance across my entire home over a two-week period. I set up one dock downstairs to test it on the wooden floors in the living room, kitchen and utility room, and the second one upstairs, where the rooms are carpeted. It didn't just have different floor types to contend with: it had to navigate a one-year-old with a tendency of throwing food, a greyhound that takes up as more space than your average piece of furniture, and a high-pile rug that has successfully bewildered some of Dyson's competitors. As with all of our robot vacuum reviews, we assessed the Dyson 360 Vis Nav's performance across five key metrics. I considered whether its design was fit for purpose, how easy the companion app is to navigate, whether the battery life can see it through a full-home clean and whether it matches up to Dyson's lofty claims when it comes to vacuuming performance. Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product. No manufacturer ever sees Telegraph Recommended reviews before publication and we don't accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles. All opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Design and build Score: 9/10 The 360 Vis Nav is immediately recognisable as a Dyson machine thanks to its striking blue chassis and the chunky cyclones that sit on top of the dust canister. It's perhaps not instantly recognisable as a robot vacuum, though, as its unique D-shaped body – which Dyson has engineered to better fit into corners for edge-to-edge cleaning – is unlike anything else on the market. It is also different in that it lacks the rotating side brushes you typically see on robot vacuums. Instead, it features a bar brush that spans the entire length of the vacuum's body and a novel extending side duct that automatically redirects suction to capture dust and debris right up to the wall. While these features are impressive, my favourite thing about the 360 Vis Nav's design is its small footprint and the fact that two docks are included as standard, which proved incredibly practical during testing. I placed one upstairs and one downstairs, making multi-floor cleaning far less of a hassle as there was no lugging the vacuum or base between levels. I'm also a fan of the smooth action of the vacuum's bin-emptying mechanism, though it's somewhat disappointing that it doesn't come with a self-emptying function, especially given its luxury price tag. Performance and results Score: 9/10 At the core of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav is a motor that spins at up to 110,000 rpm, generating an impressive 65 air watts of suction. This is significantly stronger than most robot vacuums on the market and makes the Vis Nav particularly effective at lifting embedded dirt, fine dust and pet hair, even in low power modes. It's one of the few robot vacuums we tested that rivals the cleaning performance of a full-size cordless model – I only ran to my trusty Dyson V8 for the stairs. For more power, consider a stick vacuum, such as the Dyson Gen5Detect instead. I was impressed by its cleaning performance on all floor types, efficiently handling scattered food crumbs and half-eaten bits of pasta on my laminate flooring, and leaving the high-pile rug in my living room looking refreshed and thoroughly cleaned, which is something that other models have struggled to achieve. But it is on carpets where the 360 Vis Nav really shows off. Thanks to the full-width brush head, which has stiff nylon bristles that remove deep dirt in carpets, the robot vac left our upstairs floors looking spotless, even along edges and skirting boards. I tested the vacuum mostly in Auto mode, which means the 360 Vis Nav automatically crank up the suction when it encounters a particularly dusty area (read: my whole home). Connectivity Score: 9/10 After a couple of months of testing various robot vacuums, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav was a breath of fresh air when it came to set up. Assembly took just minutes, and from there I simply had to plug in the charging dock, fire up the MyDyson app (yes, the same app where you manage the warranty for your hair dryer) and enter the Wi-Fi password. The Dyson then set off on its maiden voyage. It first performs a mapping run, using its 360-degree fish-eye camera to see its surroundings, rather than a laser-guided LiDAR system like most of its rivals. This was completed quickly, and the map was pretty accurate though you do have to manually divide the space into rooms and add in any 'no-go' zones. The MyDyson app is incredibly basic, perhaps due to the limited functionality of the robot vacuum itself (its lack of mopping capabilities, for example). There's no option to watch the vacuum as it moves around your home, for example, with the app instead offering a retrospective look at its last activity that tells you how long it cleaned for and highlights any particularly dusty areas it encountered. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav offers alternative ways to interact with it, though. You can manually set it to clean via the onboard display, or with voice control using Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Usability Score: 10/10 If a technophobe friend or family member is in the market for a robot vacuum and you're already dreading the late-night phone calls asking for help – 'my vacuum cleaner says it's stuck on a cliff!' – the Dyson 360 Vis Nav could be an excellent option. Not only is it easy to set up, but it's incredibly easy to use, so much so that I often forgot it existed. The simplicity of the app means it's ideal for even non-tech-savvy folk; you can simply press a button for the vacuum to start cleaning, or set a schedule for it to clean your home at the same time each day. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that, in the two weeks I tested it, I had no issues; no warnings that the vacuum was stuck, and no nasty run-ins with loose Apple Watch chargers. Just press a button and off it goes, easily navigating obstacles (like greyhounds) and gliding under furniture to provide a deep clean. Battery life and recharge time Score: 9/10 The vacuum offers four operating modes – Quiet, Auto, Quick and Boost – each tailored for different tasks and energy consumption. Battery life ranges up to about 50 to 65 minutes in Auto mode, according to Dyson, dropping to around 15 minutes in Boost mode. When power runs low, it autonomously returns to its dock to recharge and resume cleaning where it left off. During all my tests the vacuum didn't once run out of charge mid-clean however, even in Boost mode, though perhaps that's owing to the modest size of my home. According to Dyson, the Vis Nav takes just shy of three hours to recharge to full from zero (again, not a problem I've encountered during my time with the robot vac). Technical specifications Dyson might be the biggest name in vacuum cleaners, but how does it compare to Roomba, a brand synonymous with vacuums of the robot kind? Should you buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav? On paper, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav isn't the most capable robot vacuum cleaner on the market; it's over a year old, it doesn't mop and you have to empty the dust canister manually. However, it remains the best performance-wise and left my carpets looking cleaner than ever. If being able to mop is important to you, the Dyson Wash G1 is a dedicated hard floor cleaner, though it is on the pricey side. Yes, if: You want a powerful robot vacuum for different floor types that gets into the edges You don't want a bulky robot vacuum taking up space You have pets and/or allergies No, if: You want a robot vacuum that self-empties You want a robot vacuum that also mops Dyson 360 Vis Nav FAQ Does the Dyson 360 Vis Nav self-empty? No, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum cleaner does not feature a self-emptying capability. Unlike some premium models equipped with auto-empty docks, the 360 Vis Nav requires manual intervention to empty its dustbin. It utilises a hygienic one-touch ejection mechanism, allowing users to dispose of collected debris without direct contact. While this design maintains Dyson's commitment to cleanliness, it may be less convenient for those seeking an entirely hands-off cleaning experience. How well does the Dyson 360 Vis Nav navigate and map homes? The Dyson 360 Vis Nav excels at navigation and mapping, thanks to its 360-degree vision system and intelligent Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology. It creates detailed floor maps in real time, enabling precise, systematic cleaning rather than the erratic paths of cheaper models. The robot avoids obstacles and adjusts to different floor types, while its MyDyson companion app shows users cleaning reports and offers the chance to set room-specific routines. Overall, its navigation is among the most advanced in the robotic vacuum category. How effective is the Dyson 360 Vis Nav on different floor types and with pet hair? The Dyson 360 Vis Nav performs impressively across various floor types, from hardwood and laminate to carpet and even high-pile rugs. Its powerful suction is among the strongest in the robot vacuum market, with Dyson's Hyperdymium motor spinning at up to 110,000 rpm, generating an impressive 65 air watts of suction. The motorised full-width brush bar effectively lifts debris and embedded pet hair. While impossible to test, Dyson claims the vacuum is capable of trapping 99.99 per cent of particles as small as 0.1 microns thanks to its whole-machine HEPA filtration, making it well suited to allergy sufferers and pet owners.

Dyson air purifier helps beat summer allergies - and is £100 off
Allergies might be getting Brits down - but this Dyson deal might help Brits suffering from hay fever and other summer allergies during the heat might be in luck because Amazon has a new deal on a Dyson air purifier with a big discount. The Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 i s an air purifier which works by filtering out microscopic impurities and allergens from the air. This purifier has the ability to capture gases, odours and 99.95% of pollutants as small as 0.1 microns, including allergens such as pollen and dust mites, thermal comfort temperature adjustment at night. There's connectivity via the MyDyson app, which can be flicked on and off when needed. The app even lets shoppers measure the air quality to see how the purifier is helping and what pollutants it is helping filter out. As well as that, the whole purifier, not just the filtration system, is fully sealed to HEPA H13 grade – so what goes inside, stays inside. There are alternatives as well. Argos is selling this Bush Air Purifier for £120, and there's also this £138 Blueair purifier, which also has app control. The Daily Mirror also recently reviewed the same air purifier to determine whether it was up to par. Grab the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 from Amazon for a big discount £449 £249 Amazon GET DEAL Product Description Gadget expert Laura Mulley said: "Like all Dyson products, the new Purifier Cool PC1 is really easy to set up and work out how to use, and looks incredibly slick in the home. "We have an open-plan kitchen/living room so I set this up between in the two, in the hope of capturing cooking smells, smoke from our log burner, and pollen from our back doors (I haven't quite found the best way to hide the wires, so it may end up moving further into the kitchen). "I typically keep it on 'auto' and leave it to do its thing – and this it does, automatically detecting pollution and allergen levels and adjusting its output to match, trying to keep the data in the green (or 'good') category. "I also think that it'll be a godsend in summer, when the gentle breeze it expels will be incredibly welcome; we'll probably move it into our bedroom then, when the nighttime temperature adjustment feature will come into its own (other customers have reported it really helping with sleep). I'd also previously owned another model of Dyson fan before, and the filter didn't need changing for years. "In terms of downsides, it's obviously expensive, and it's quite big (although tall, so it doesn't take up much floor space). It's also hard to pinpoint if this in itself makes a huge difference to our quality of life. But our home feels cleaner and fresher since having it; if you can afford it, I think it's a good investment."
