Why is Xiaomi called the “Chinese Dyson”?
The comparison with Dyson is not accidental: Xiaomi purposefully copies (and sometimes improves) the British brand’s engineering solutions.
- 🌀 Digital motor - Xiaomi hair dryers use brushless motors with a rotation rate of up to 110,000 rpm (Dyson - up to 125,000 rpm.
- 🔋 Lithium-ion batteries – models like Dreame HF01 It lasts up to 30 minutes (Dyson Supersonic has up to 40 minutes).
- 🌡️ Smart temperature control – sensors prevent overheating of hair (smart Heat Control technology Xiaomi similar to Intelligent Heat Control Dyson).
- 🎨 Ergonomic design – the weight of hair dryers Xiaomi starts from 450 g (Dyson – from 500 g), and the center of gravity is shifted to the handle for convenience.
The main difference is the price. For example, Dyson Supersonic in 2026 costs 35,000-45,000. ₽, Xiaomi Supersonic can be found for 12,000-18000 ₽. At the same time, the main parameters (power, drying speed, noise level) the difference is minimal.
Of course, Dyson has unique features like magnetic nozzles or acoustic engineering to reduce noise, but for most users, they don’t justify a threefold difference in price. Xiaomi offers 90% of Dyson’s functionality for 30% of the cost — and this is the main reason for the popularity of the brand.
Comparison of hair dryers Xiaomi and Dyson: technical characteristics
To objectively assess how close Xiaomi hair dryers are to Dyson, compare them by key parameters. Below is a table with current models for 2026:
| Parameter | Xiaomi Supersonic | Dreame HF01 | Dyson Supersonic | Dyson Airwrap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power, watts. | 1600 | 1800 | 1600 | 1300 (in dryer mode) |
| Flow rate, m/s | 22 | 24 | 22 | 18 |
| Noise level, dB | 72 | 70 | 69 | 75 |
| Battery time, min | - (network) | 30 | - (network) | 30 (in dryer mode) |
| Weight, g. | 450 | 480 | 500 | 650 |
| Price, ₽ (2026) | 12 000–15 000 | 15 000–18 000 | 35 000–45 000 | 40 000–50 000 |
From the table, you can see that Xiaomi hair dryers are as powerful as Dyson and even better off in terms of weight, and the only thing that makes Dyson objectively better is noise levels (2-3 dB quieter), but the difference between 2-3 dB is almost imperceptible to the human ear.
It is also worth noting that Dreame HF01 (Xiaomi’s subsidiary brand is the only dryer in this segment with a removable battery, making it easier to replace the battery after 2-3 years of operation. Dyson has a battery soldered into the case, and it costs 5,000 to 7,000 to replace. ₽.
