I am surprised it's the old supersonic, but Dyson must be desperate to clearance out this old model so they can start to push the new neural dryer. QVC has that new model in stock, but of course it's $499. I admit I'm curious to know if the new model is any better, but I can't justify buying one when I have a perfectly good supersonic in my bathroom closet that I almost never use. I shower and wash my hair at night and let it air dry overnight. I can say for sure that the Dyson gets my hair dry in half the time any other dryer I've ever owned does, but I still don't need it more than a day or two a month, since I'm retired.
For those who do order, you are getting it at around $170 less than it used to sell for, and odds are you will have it the rest of your life. Congratulations!
