This Prussian Blue Supersonic Origin is Dyson's entry-level Supersonic, and the listing pairs it with a smoothing nozzle aimed at polished, volumised blow-drys. At a stated 640 g, it is a mid-weight option among lightweight dryers, offering Dyson's V9 motor and heat regulation in a single-attachment package. It suits people who want a straightforward Dyson for everyday drying and round-brush styling.

In its favour
- One of the few listings to give real numbers: 110,000 rpm, 3.5 kPa and 13 litres per second.
- Four heat and three speed settings, with a smoothing nozzle in the box.
- A glass bead thermistor measures exit temperature 40 times per second.
Good to know
- Only a smoothing nozzle is included, so there is no diffuser for curls.
- Cable length is not stated in the listing.
Our take
Smoothing nozzle and the Korean volumised style
Dyson describes the smoothing nozzle as delivering controlled airflow for a smooth, natural finish. The suggested technique is to follow a round brush with the nozzle to lift roots and smooth lengths, section by section. The listing specifically mentions the Korean volumised style as one result.
Note that the spec table lists a styling concentrator among the components while the bullets name a smoothing nozzle, so check which attachment arrives.
Motor and heat regulation
The Dyson Digital Motor V9 runs at up to 110,000 rpm, producing 3.5 kPa of pressure and moving 13 litres of air per second into the amplifier. A glass bead thermistor checks exit temperature 40 times per second to avoid extreme heat. Rated power is 1,600 W, with four heat and three speed settings.
Dyson says the Origin is designed for all hair types, from fine to thick and straight to coily.
Weight in context
At 640 g, the Origin is lighter than the 662 g Shark SpeedStyle Pro but heavier than the Panasonic EH-NA7M at 490 g, the Laifen Swift Special at 407 g and the Elchim Anemos at 290 g. For short daily drying sessions the difference is small, but on long hair the lighter models will be easier on the arm.
The handle does not fold, and the listing does not state cable length. For a quick daily blow-dry, the Origin's balance matters as much as its weight figure.
Origin against the Laifen Swift Premium and Supersonic Nural
The Laifen Swift Premium uses a similar 110,000 RPM motor speed with 22 m/s airflow and a wall mount, at a stated 600 g. The Dyson Supersonic Nural adds sensors and five attachments for those who want more automation. The Origin is the lean Dyson option.
Verdict
Choose the Prussian Blue Supersonic Origin if you want a dependable Dyson for round-brush blow-drys with minimal extras. If low weight is the main goal, the Elchim Anemos or Laifen Swift Special are lighter, and if you want sensors and a diffuser, step up to the Supersonic Nural.
