What reviewers say about the Laifen Swift Special High-Speed Hair Dryer

Two whitelisted outlets (TechRadar, TechHive) reviewed the Laifen Swift Special hands-on; both call it a strong, well-designed Dyson Supersonic alternative at roughly half the price. TechRadar measured just-under-seven-minute drying and 79dB noise - quieter-sounding but not the claimed 59dB. Common gripes: short cord, no separate cool shot, limited attachments.

  • Fast, powerful drying that rivals the Dyson Supersonic · 2 sources
  • Premium, luxe design at roughly half the Dyson price · 2 sources

Commonly flagged

  • Not as quiet as the claimed 59dB · 2 sources
  • No separate cool shot button
  • Short 1.8m/5.9ft cord
  • Limited nozzle attachments vs Dyson

Where reviewers disagree On noise the sources diverge from Laifen's 59dB claim: TechRadar measured 79dB on the fastest setting (louder than the Dyson Supersonic's 74dB on the same meter), and TechHive's long-haired tester also felt the Dyson was actually quieter - though both agree the Laifen's sound is less harsh and buzzy than typical dryers.
