Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x

F
Ranked #15 in Curling Irons
93 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

Ranked here honestly: the build quality and support are genuinely excellent, which beats the weak picks below it on pure ownership. It stays a trap because it costs a multiple of every dedicated iron here to do a worse, more fragile version of their one job. Buy the Bio Ionic instead unless you need the full multi-styler kit.

Flagged as a product to avoid

8 of 15 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

The most expensive thing on the board, reviewed by TechGadgetsCanada as costing as much as a car payment with one maddening element, while TechNewsWire and IMTEST openly question whether the re-tooled multi-styler justifies its hefty price tag. It is a multi-styler first and a curler second; for pure curling, cheaper picks do the job better.

  2. It costs a multiple of every dedicated iron here to do a worse, more fragile version of their one job, and its attachment ecosystem is a lot of plastic parts that live in a drawer and wear. Dyson community threads show buyers hesitating over whether the new model justifies the jump from the previous Airwrap.

  3. A dryer-first multi-styler whose real upgrade is a faster motor - an incremental gain on an already very costly tool - and whose curling output a dedicated iron matches for a small fraction of the cost. Reviewers confirm the pitch is more air pressure and speed, not better curls.

  4. The Airwrap wand is marketed as a curling tool but actually uses air to style, which can be less effective and more time-consuming than a true curling iron.

  5. Standard mode uses lower heat and cannot produce tight curls on thick hair; Pro version or dedicated curling iron is better.

  6. Multiple Reddit threads indicate issues with longevity and performance degradation over time; users express disappointment after extended use.

    Flagged 6 August 2026
  7. High price with limited warranty and frequent firmware updates that can cause compatibility issues. Reviewers note that many users experience motor failures within 12-18 months, making it unreliable for long-term ownership.

  8. Overpriced for inconsistent heat and limited curl quality; better alternatives exist.
