The original Dyson Supersonic debuted in 2016, and now, nearly a decade later, the brand has unveiled its first major redesign. The Supersonic™ r is 20% lighter and 30% smaller than the original, making it more comfortable to hold and easier to maneuver. As implied by its name, it’s designed with an innovative, curved “r” shape that’s meant to fit more comfortably in your hand.

Dyson also upgraded its technology. The Supersonic™ r features a streamlined heater, a powerful Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor and smart sensors in every attachment. These sensors automatically adjust the airflow and temperature based on the attachment in use, promising top-of-the-line styling with less heat damage. Plus, the controls are now easier to reach, with three airflow settings, four heat modes and LED indicators right on the handle.

Get an up-close look at the new Dyson Supersonic r ahead, coming this Thursday, March 6.
