Buying a Dyson Airwrap for My Partner ($800 for a Hairdryer? Lol)

OK so my partner won't shut up about wanting the Dyson AirWrap for Xmas.
So, rather than listen to her go on and on for the next month I plan on giving her one this week and living in peace.

It is normally $799 but the Dyson store has them for $679 at the moment.

Does anyone know if I can get it cheaper somewhere else, or an online store discount voucher code?

Put me out of my misery lol

        Was just editing..
        Nobody spends that much on a hairdryer especially an ozbargainer!

        Edit:
        Don't cave in to her op. Stay strong!

          LOL bruh sometimes you gotta throw $700 away to make her happy. She does so much for me this is the least I can do.

          • @bigballerbrand: If you really, really must make it a Christmas present.

            • @Wystri Warrick: It is a Xmas pressie. We aren't fussy about having to give Xmas presents on Xmas day. Giving it to her now will give me peace and quiet up until the new year.

              • @bigballerbrand:

                Giving it to her now will give me peace and quiet up until the new year.

                LOL yeah right! Of course it won't!

  • bought one for my sister couple of years ago, and she raves about it. Used to take her 45mins to dry her hair, now she's down to about 10-15mins. Go to their website and have a chat with their customer service, they might offer you a further discount if you own other dyson products

    • Airwrap is the curler isn't it? Does that help with drying hair too?

      • +2

        oh yes.. my mistake but say what you will about Dyson and how expensive they are, they make some good shit

      • +1

        it does… it also functions as a hair dryer…

        I bought the wife one for Christmas last year.. and she loves it..

  • Maybe see if any of the other major retailers will price match, and then if you have access to discounted gift cards, pay with those? (Plus cashback if applicable)

    • Yeh hoping to get a 20% off myer Voucher somewhere and get them to price match or something

  • I bought one for my wife for $600, i was very lucky as a fellow ozbargainer gave me a coupon code that took off $200 for free.

    My wife absolutely loves it. Is it worth even $600 definitely not, HOWEVER if she skips going to a hair salon for a few events because she feels like she can do something good with the Airwrap then you have more or less made your money back.

    Also i would say the biggest down side to it (which really frustrates me) is the lack of a narrow head, most hair dryers have it…even the supersonic does as well…

    The Airwrap js the hairdryer and curling attachments. The SuperSonic is just the hairdryer.

    I would strongly suggest that your gf try out the curling attachments in a store (if she hasn’t already) as they aren’t as easy to make work as they look in the videos and a lot of people just can’t seem to work them. $800 is a lot of money to spend if she will never use (or can’t) most of the items that come with it.

    The dryer on its own is only $400ish (from memory).

    I have a GHD Air and I can dry thick long hair in 15mins. The price tag is also much nicer.

      shes been using one for months at work. she wants her own now

  • Is it any better than a Parlux hairdryer?

  • Second hand

  • the airwrap is a good package.. its a dryer and curler.. albeit expensive but it has that dyson quality to it.

  • https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dyson-Airwrap-Styler-Fuchsia-310…

    Is this the one? Myer Ebay. Apply PRINCE200 to get it down to $629.15 (tested but not bought:)). Use the app and PAPP100 for an extra $10. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/ebay.com.au

      she wants the purple one not the fuchsia one - lol i swear i cant even make this crap up

      • Best to do as you are told. I know!

        If it helps, I prefer fuchsia, but I'm a balding 58yo bloke.

    • Looks like it expired a minute after you posted anyway

      • Hmm, looks like we have a Myer spy in the camp.

    • It came down to 749 after PRINCE200 applied, hmm… what did I miss here

      • Divide 629.15 by 0.8 to see what price it was when I first saw it.

    Hello. I would do yourself a favour and grab the deal from Dyson simply because… I purchased it for my mum and it turns out her hair wasn't working well with the Dyson and she looked more like she had been in a hurricane than anything. However, on another person it work beautifully So… for peace of mind I would get from Dyson as it was no hassle returning it and they paid for return postage. A+ service

  • Dyson removed this price from their deals, it's back to $799

    • Noticed that as well. I went to live chat to ask about it and they offered the sale price ($679).

      • Interesting, they refused yesterday saying it was a one-day offer to price match Myer which is bullshit and bait advertising. What was their reason for you?

        • Yea I noticed that as well, not impressive to be pulling that kind of trick.

        • They told me it was an error. Anyways - it's back on Dyson.com at a cheaper price - $649. Had a chat to them about a $30 refund.

    buy a cheapo, put a dyson sticker on it, tell her its a prototype a friend got you on the sly

    • the reply would be you can get the blow job dry somewhere else

    You will just have to just do it.
    Even substituting the present with a cute puppy on the big day will not cut it.
    She will always despise you.
    It could even break the relationship.

    So, this goes to show that she is materialistic over love and sees you as a means to obtain her materialistic objectives.

    Now you will always despise her.

    Why doesn’t she just buy it herself now if she wants it so much?

      How dare you.

      You obviously don't know what true love is.

      True love is when people buy things for you that you don't think are worth spending your own money on.

      • Sorry I got confused between a relationship based on mutual respect and true love. Tis the season to want more than you can afford and put it on a credit card until January.

        • Well you just make sure not to stay confused or you might find yourself single (and financially better off).

          • @ozbjunkie: Too late for that, ship sailed years ago.

            • @[Deactivated]: I believe the winds of fate have me sailing in your direction. Make a place at the fire for me, I have a chest full of whisky onboard.

    Tell her you'd be happy to. And then explain that you want a 2080ti for Christmas.

    If you don't want it, sell it to me and get your 700 back plus a bonus.

  • I would prefer a GHD OR EVY THE BOSS if your partner is a stylist they will love either of these:)
