Which Xiaomi hair dryer is better to choose: a comparison of all models of 2026

Why are Xiaomi hair dryers worth paying attention to?

Choosing a hair dryer is no less important than buying a smartphone or laptop, especially when it comes to Xiaomi’s technology, which is famous for its combination of innovation, quality and affordable price, and its hair dryers are no exception, equipped with advanced technology, ergonomic design, and often outperform traditional appliance manufacturers.

But how not to get lost in the range? Today, the market offers models with different power, number of modes, additional features (ionization, cold blowing, removable nozzles). The main mistake of buyers is to focus only on the price or appearance, not taking into account the technical characteristics and features of their hair. This article will help you figure out which model is right for you - whether it is Xiaomi Supersonic for professional use or compact Xiaomi Air for travel.

We analyzed all the current models of 2026, reviewed user and expert reviews, and conducted our own tests, resulting in an honest review without embellishment, with an emphasis on the real advantages and hidden disadvantages of each model.

Key criteria for choosing a Xiaomi hair dryer

Before you compare specific models, decide which parameters are critical to you.

• 🔌 Power: from 1000 to 2000 watts. for thin hair 1200-1400 watts are enough, for thick or curly hairdryers you need a hairdryer from 1600 watts.
• 💨 Blow speed and temperature: minimum 2-3 speed and 3 temperature (including cold blowing").
• ⚡ Technologies: ionization (eliminates static electricity), ceramic or tourmaline coating (spares hair).
• 🔄 Nozzles: diffuser for curls, concentrator for straight hair, nozzle for volume.
• 📏 Weight and ergonomics: Lightweight models (up to 400g) are convenient for long-term use, but can be less powerful.
• 🔋 Additional features: automatic shutdown, overheating protection, removable filter for easy cleaning.

An important nuance: Xiaomi hair dryers are often equipped with universal nozzles, but for specific tasks (for example, styling African hair), you may need to buy accessories separately.

If you travel frequently, look for models with a folding handle and compact dimensions. For home use, power and functionality are more important.

Comparison of all Xiaomi hair dryer models 2026

The chart below shows the current models with their key characteristics, and we've listed not only the technical parameters, but also the real pros and cons that are often overlooked in advertising.

Note that the Xiaomi Supersonic is the only model with a silent engine (noise level is only 62 dB), making it ideal for use in the early morning or late evening. and the Smart Hair Dryer 1S features a temperature sensor that automatically adjusts heating, preventing overdrying hair.

⚠️ Note: Models below 1200W (Mini Portable) are not suitable for thick or long hair – they will dry for too long, which can lead to brittleness.

The best Xiaomi hair dryer for different types of hair

There is no universal hair dryer that is equally good for thin straight hair and thick curls, and we have prepared recommendations for the structure and condition of the hair.

🔹 Thin and weakened hair

Your main task is to minimize the thermal impact.

• 💡 Xiaomi Air Multi-Mode: Low power (1400W) and tourmaline coating reduce risk of damage.
• 💡 Xiaomi Smart Hair Dryer 1S In the “smart” mode: automatically picks up the temperature.

Use cold blowers in the final drying stage and always apply a thermal spray.

🔹 Thick and curly hair

You need power and volume control.

• 💡 Xiaomi Supersonic: high power (1600 W) and diffuser included.
• 💡 Xiaomi Smart Hair Dryer 1S straightener.

Tip: Dry your hair from the bottom up using a diffuser at medium speed to keep the curls shape.

🔹 Normal hair of medium length

You will be able to use any model from the line, but the optimal price/quality ratio is:

• 💡 Xiaomi Air Multi-Mode: lightweight, compact, with ionization.

For styling, use a hub nozzle and dry your hair strands, starting with the roots.

Hidden shortcomings of Xiaomi hair dryers: what will not be told in advertising

Even the best models have weaknesses, and we've collected some real downsides that users write about after months of use:

• 🔌 Xiaomi Supersonic: Despite the quietness, the engine eventually begins to vibrate at high speeds.
• 💨 Xiaomi Air Multi-Mode: folding mechanism of the handle can loosen when used intensively.
• ⚡ Xiaomi Smart Hair Dryer 1S: The temperature sensor sometimes works with a delay, which causes the hair to overheat.
• 📦 All models: there is no storage case in the kit, and nozzles can scratch during transportation.

Another nuance: warranty service. In Russia, the official warranty for Xiaomi hair dryers is 1 year, but service centers are not available in all cities.

⚠️ Note: Xiaomi hair dryers are designed for a voltage of 220-240 V. If you plan to use them abroad (for example, in the United States or Japan), you will need a voltage converter - a conventional adapter will not work!

How to care for Xiaomi hair dryer so that it lasts longer

The life of the hair dryer depends not only on the quality of the assembly, but also on the correct care.

Clean the filter from dust once every 2 weeks (use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner).

Do not wind the cord too tightly - this damages the wires.

Keep the dryer in a dry place, avoid getting moisture on the engine.

Do not use a dryer at maximum power for more than 10 consecutive minutes (risk of overheating).

To clean the filter:

1. Turn off the dryer from the network and let it cool.
2. Remove the back cover (usually it is attached to the latches).
3. Carefully remove dust from the filter with a dry brush or vacuum cleaner at minimum power.
4. Make sure the filter is completely dry before assembly.

If the dryer started making more noise or blowing badly, the filter probably clogged or the engine bearings wore out, in the first case cleaning will help, in the second - contacting the service.

💡

To check if the hair dryer is overheating, touch the body after 5-7 minutes of operation. It should be warm, but not hot. If the body is burning, this is a reason for diagnosis.

Where to buy Xiaomi hair dryers: official and alternative options

Official channels of purchase:

• 🛒 Mi Store (branded Xiaomi stores) - warranty 1 year, original products.
• 🌍 Official website mi.com/ru — stock.
• 📦 Authorized resellers (Svyaznoy, M. Video, Citilink) - check the availability of the certificate.

Alternatives (with risks):

• 🏪 Marketplace (Wildberries, Ozon, AliExpress) – prices are lower, but there is a high chance of running into a fake.
• 🤝 Used market (Avito, Yula) – cheap, but without a guarantee and with an unknown history of use.

How to distinguish the original from the fake:

1. Check the serial number on the box and the hair dryer itself - they must match.
2. The original packaging has a holographic sticker with the Xiaomi logo.
3. The package must necessarily be an instruction in Russian.

⚠️ Note: Fake Xiaomi hair dryers often have overrated performance (for example, the claimed power of 2000 W at real 1200 W) and can be dangerous due to poor quality wire insulation.
