Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x: Gen2 motor, 6 attachments

What the listing says the Gen2 motor changes

Dyson frames the Co-anda2x as the most powerful Airwrap so far. The comparison point in the small print is the Airwrap i.d., so the 30% and 2x figures describe a step up within Dyson's own range rather than against rival brands. The listing ties the stronger Coanda airflow to three practical outcomes: curls that last through the day, quicker drying and straighter results from the smoothing tools.

Heat is checked over 1,000 times a second according to the listing, with temperature regulated to avoid extreme heat. The spec table gives 1,300 W, three speeds and four settings, and a stated weight of 716 g for the item as listed.

Six attachments and what each one covers

The box holds a Fast dryer 2x, a Conical Co-anda2x barrel, a 40 mm Co-anda2x barrel, the Air straightener 2x, a Large round volumising brush 2x and an Anti-snag loop brush 2x. The conical barrel tapers for tighter curls towards the root, while the 40 mm barrel is pitched at looser waves on mid-length to longer hair.

The Air straightener 2x is the most interesting addition. Dyson says it straightens from wet to dry using airflow and aerothermal plates, sometimes in a single pass. A Dyson survey cited on the listing reports 87% of participants felt their hair kept natural movement afterwards, which is a company figure rather than an independent result.

App, sensors and everyday routine

Bluetooth links the handle to the MyDyson app, where six questions about hair type and length produce an automated styling sequence. The i.d. curl sequence senses movement, wraps the hair and adjusts heat, airflow and timing on its own, and the intelligent attachments remember preferred settings.

In daily use that means less fiddling with buttons once a routine is saved. It also means the full feature set depends on pairing a phone, so anyone who dislikes apps will be paying for functions they may never switch on.

How it sits against the Airwrap i.d. and Airwrap Origin

Against the Dyson Airwrap i.d., the Co-anda2x keeps the app and curl sequence but swaps in the Gen2 motor and the 2x attachment set, including the air straightener. Against the Dyson Airwrap Origin, which ships with three attachments and no app features, it is a far broader kit. Rivals such as the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl offer two 32 mm curlers and a diffuser instead, which may suit curlier hair better than this straight and wavy edition.
