The Dyson comparison

Everyone compares it to the Dyson because of the motor speed. 110,000 RPM, compact body, lightweight. The Laifen costs a fraction of the Dyson price. The build quality won't be the same and the brand has less track record in the UK. But the specs on paper are close.

Laifen's Intelligent Pro Thermal Control adjusts temperature 100 times per second by alternating hot and cold air. Dyson measures 40 times per second. Whether 100 vs 40 makes a noticeable difference to your hair is questionable. Our best hair dryer UK roundup covers the full range.

407g

Lightest dryer in our database. The Dyson Supersonic is heavier. The Shark SpeedStyle Pro is 662g. If weight is your priority, the Laifen wins. Our best lightweight hair dryer roundup has the comparison.

LED heat indicator

Red ring means 80°C warm air. Yellow means 50°C. Blue means cold. Hold for 2 seconds to activate cyclic mode that alternates between temperatures. Simple visual feedback without guessing.

The risk

28 reviews. New to the UK market. If something goes wrong, Laifen's customer service is based in China. They offer 24-month warranty and claim 24-hour support, but the after-sales experience is unproven in the UK. The Dyson and ghd brands have UK service infrastructure.

For established alternatives at different prices, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro or ghd Helios are safer bets. Our best professional hair dryer guide has the full comparison.
