When it comes to the world of hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic is often considered a hot fave. But let’s face it, that $520 price tag is quite a shock, and makes it out of reach for most of us. Luckily, there’s a more budget-friendly option that’s worth checking out. Thousands of shoppers say the Slopehill Ionic Hair Dryer is a comparable alternative for a fraction of the price. It’s currently just $28 (down from $50) at Amazon — that’s over 40% off.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Um, you saw what we said above about this hair dryer being comparable to the $520 Dyson, right? Normally priced at $50, the Slopehill dryer is currently just $30 (a cool 40% off), and this price is within two bucks of its lowest yet, so you’re getting a great deal when you buy now.
Why do I need this? 🧐
Designed to mimic a sleek, salon-worthy DIY blowout at home, this clever gadget uses ionic technology to reduce frizz and ramp up shine as it dries, giving your mane a smooth look. It also boasts 1,800 watts of power to help dry your strands quickly — no matter your hair type.

You can switch between three heat settings for a customized blow-dry experience, depending on your hair’s needs. Also worth noting: Tons of shoppers rave that this dryer is incredibly quiet, even on its highest settings. It comes with two styling nozzles and a diffuser attachment, so you can achieve a variety of different styles with it. Finally, it weighs just under a pound, which is actually lighter than the Dyson Supersonic, so you don’t have to worry about your arm cramping or getting tired while using it.

What reviewers say 💬
More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers loved it so much they gave it a five-star rating — and over 9,000 were bought in the past month.
Pros 👍
It works so well that even the pros are fans. “This dryer is fabulous. I’m a hairstylist and have purchased many dryers over the years. Dyson, which lasted barely a year. The Chi, which is OK. The T3, which is also OK. This dryer is better than all of them,” said one expert reviewer.
Another raved, “Wow, I’m completely amazed,” before adding, “Honestly, I had my doubts being a true hair girl, but this blew me away! It is really a lot better than my Dyson and Shark! I’m buying a spare one, it’s really that great!”

Think you have too much hair for an affordable blow-dryer? Think again. “It makes blow-drying my hair so much faster! My hair is pretty thick and almost to my butt, and this has cut the time in half if not more. I love the speed, setting and attachment options,” said a third.”
Cons 👎
“I do wish the cord was a little bit longer, but that is purely because of where my wall outlet is positioned and having to maneuver around with such long hair. In saying that, it is still a decent length — same as most hairdryers,” wrote one.
“No complaints except it’s heavier than I thought it would be for its size,” said another. However, they added, “It’s small so it’s easy to handle and has a powerful blower so my hair dries quickly.”
