Dyson vs. Slopehill: You Don't Need to Spend Big on a Travel Hair Dryer

Dyson recently unveiled its Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer—compact, smart, and undeniably premium. It measures just 2.6 by 8.7 inches, weighs 0.7 pounds, and features intelligent heat control with universal voltage for global travel. But it comes with a hefty price tag that's hard to justify for a dryer you'll only use in hotel rooms or gym bags.

Enter the Slopehill Travel Hair Dryer - Dual Voltage. At only $69.99, it delivers everything most travelers actually need—without the luxury markup.

Slopehill's model weighs even less than Dyson's at just 0.6 pounds, making it one of the lightest portable dryers available. It packs a powerful 110,000 RPM brushless motor with 1,500 watts of drying power, which actually exceeds the 1,000–1,220 watts offered by the Dyson travel version. That means faster drying, especially for thick or long hair.

Like Dyson, Slopehill features automatic dual-voltage adjustment (100V–240V), so you never need a bulky converter whether you're traveling in the US or Europe. It also releases 200 million negative ions to fight frizz and boost shine—a feature Dyson's travel model does not emphasize.

The Slopehill dryer offers three heat settings, two speed settings, and a cool shot button. It comes with magnetic attachments including a styling nozzle and a diffuser for curly hair, plus a soft storage bag to protect everything in your luggage.

Dyson's travel dryer is beautifully engineered, but it costs hundreds more. For the vast majority of travelers, the Slopehill Travel Hair Dryer delivers the same portability, universal voltage, and even higher power at a fraction of the price. Save your money for your trip—not the tool you pack for it. Get Slopehill for $69.99.
