Five Cent
Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x
The newest Airwrap: 1,700 W, a 150,000 rpm motor, six attachments including an air straightener, and the highest price in the category
Scored on the published rubric, from documentation, pricing and verified user reports.
Best for: People who style, not just dry, several times a week, want curls, straightening and volume from one tool with heat kept below plate-iron levels, and are prepared to pay $749.99 for the newest motor.
Verdict
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x is the current flagship Airwrap in the United States, sold alongside the older Airwrap i.d. at $649.99 and the simplified Airwrap Origin. Its specification table on dyson.com, checked October 16, 2026, lists 1,700 W at 120 V, 14 litres per second of airflow, four heat and three speed settings, a 6.55 ft cable and a 0.9 lb body. The Gen2 motor spins at up to 150,000 rpm and produces 7 kPa of pressure, which Dyson says is twice the air pressure and 30% more power than the i.d. The Straight+Wavy set includes a conical curling barrel, a 1.6-inch barrel, an anti-snag loop brush, an air straightener, a large round volumising brush, a fast dryer and a presentation case, and the attachments carry RFID chips so the machine recognises them. This is a documentation review built from Dyson's product and specification pages and the owner ratings shown there, not from use. On the sheet it is the most capable styler in this group by a clear margin, and the value score is the lowest because $749.99 is roughly three times the Shark FlexStyle's sale price for a tool that is still, at its core, a Coanda-effect air styler.

Where it is strong
- 1,700 W and 14 l/s airflow, the highest of the four tools we graded, per the specification table checked October 16, 2026
- Gen2 motor at up to 150,000 rpm and 7 kPa, which Dyson states is twice the air pressure of the Airwrap i.d.
- Six attachments plus a case in the Straight+Wavy box, including an Air Straightener 2x that was not in earlier Airwrap sets
- RFID attachment recognition with presets you can customise in the MyDyson app, and an accelerometer-driven i.d. curl sequence
- Four heat and three speed settings, listed on the specification table
- 2-year limited warranty, 30-day money-back on direct purchases, and a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 11,659 owners on dyson.com
Where it falls short
- $749.99 list price; the Airwrap i.d. is $649.99 and the Shark FlexStyle was $229.99 on sale the same day
- 6.55 ft cable is the shortest in the group, two feet shorter than the Supersonic Nural's 8.6 ft
- The 0.9 lb weight in the table is for the body; attachment weights are not published, so in-hand weight is unknown from the sheet
- Several Dyson claims on the page are footnoted against the previous Airwrap or against owner surveys rather than measured results
- Drying is done through a fast-dryer attachment, so it is a styler first and a dryer second

What the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x actually is
The Airwrap is a wand with a motor in the handle that pushes air through interchangeable heads. Curling barrels use the Coanda effect, the tendency of fast air to cling to a curved surface, to wrap hair around themselves. Brushes and the straightener use the same airflow to shape hair as it dries.
The Co-anda2x is the third generation. Dyson's page lists three Airwrap models for the US: the new Co-anda2x, the Airwrap i.d. from 2024, and the simplified Airwrap Origin. The Co-anda2x is the one Dyson labels new and promotes first.
The generation change is the motor. Dyson calls it the Gen2 motor, lists it at up to 150,000 rpm and 7 kPa of pressure, and states that is twice the air pressure of the previous generation. The i.d. motor spins at 110,000 rpm per its own page.
How we grade is on our editorial policy page. For the pure-dryer alternative from the same maker, read our Dyson Supersonic Nural review.
Who the Airwrap Co-anda2x is best for
The specification sheet and attachment list describe a frequent styler, not an occasional dryer user.
- People who curl or wave several times a week and want to do it with warm air instead of a clamped hot barrel
- Straight and wavy hair types, which is the attachment set we read; Dyson sells other sets for other hair types
- Anyone who wants straightening in the same kit, since the Air Straightener 2x is new to this set
- App-comfortable owners who will set up a hair profile in MyDyson so the machine runs a curl sequence for them
- Buyers who already own Dyson attachments, since Dyson states its attachments fit every Airwrap
- Who should skip it: anyone who mostly dries, anyone who needs a long cable, and anyone for whom $749.99 is out of proportion to a hair tool
What is in the box and what costs extra
The Straight+Wavy box, per the In the Box list on dyson.com checked October 16, 2026, contains the machine, a presentation case, a Conical Co-anda2x curling barrel, a 1.6-inch Co-anda2x curling barrel, an Anti-snag loop brush 2x, an Air Straightener 2x, a Large round volumizing brush 2x and a Fast dryer 2x.
Dyson describes the conical barrel as tapered to curl from root to tip in one pattern, the 1.6-inch barrel as the choice for longer hair and looser waves, and the air straightener as two high-velocity air jets with passive plates that straighten as hair dries.
Each attachment carries an RFID chip. The machine reads it, applies a preset heat and airflow, and remembers changes you make in the MyDyson app. That is the same idea as the Supersonic Nural's Attachment learning, implemented with a different sensor.
Additional attachments and other hair-type sets are sold through Dyson's accessories page. We did not read individual accessory prices on the day we checked, so we do not quote them.
How the pricing is structured
The list price is $749.99, read from the product data on the Straight+Wavy variant page on October 16, 2026. The Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy set remains on sale at $649.99, and the Airwrap Origin is listed without a price we read.
Dyson's standard terms apply: 0% APR financing over six months on qualifying purchases, free shipping over $50, a 30-day money-back guarantee on direct purchases with Dyson paying return shipping, and a 2-year limited warranty. Refurbished machines are final sale.
For scale, the Co-anda2x costs $300 more than the Supersonic Nural dryer at $449.99, $400 more than the Shark FlexStyle at its $349.99 list, and about $520 more than the FlexStyle at the $229.99 sale price we saw. That arithmetic is ours, from the three vendors' pages read the same day.
The $100 step from the i.d. buys 400 W, one more heat setting, the new motor and the air straightener. Whether that is worth it depends on how much you straighten. Our price tracking for this category lives on the comparisons index.
Ease of use: what the score is built from
The 4.1 ease score rests on automation. The i.d. curl sequence uses an accelerometer to detect when hair is wrapped and then runs heat, airflow and cool shot timings on its own. RFID presets mean you do not set heat and speed when you change attachments. Dyson states 87% of surveyed owners said hair had natural movement with the air straightener; that is a survey, not a measurement.
The case for a lower score is practical. The cable is 6.55 ft, the shortest in this group and two feet shorter than the Supersonic Nural's. The body weighs 0.9 lb but Dyson does not publish attachment weights, so the figure you hold while curling is unknown.
The app is optional but central: Dyson describes a six-question hair profile that tailors the curl sequence. If you would rather not pair a hair tool with your phone, you lose some of what you are paying for.
Dyson's FAQ is clear that barrels work best on damp hair, so the routine has a fixed order: fast-dry to damp, then style.
Features: the most complete sheet in the group
Features score 4.7, the highest we have given a styler. The specification table lists 1,700 W, 14 l/s of airflow, four heat and three speed settings, negative ions, 120 V and a 10 by 2 by 1 inch body. Converted by us, 14 litres per second is about 30 cubic feet per minute.
The Gen2 motor is the headline: up to 150,000 rpm and 7 kPa, which Dyson says is twice the air pressure of the i.d. and lets the Fast dryer 2x dry as fast as a full performance hair dryer. The Supersonic Nural dryer, for reference, lists 1,600 W and 13.3 l/s.
The Air Straightener 2x is the functional addition. Earlier Airwrap sets smoothed with brushes; this set has a dedicated head with two air jets and passive plates. Dyson claims straighter styles than the i.d., footnoted as a comparison with the previous model.
Dyson repeats its no-heat-damage positioning for the Airwrap but does not publish a maximum air temperature on the US page. We explain what wattage, airflow and heat figures mean on our articles page.
Value: the price is the product's biggest weakness
Value scores 2.9. The Co-anda2x is the most capable tool in this group on paper, and it costs the most by a wide margin: $749.99 against $449.99 for the Supersonic Nural, $349.99 list for the Shark FlexStyle, and no published price for the Revlon brush.
The question is whether the extra motor and the straightener are worth $400 over a FlexStyle that also curls, smooths and dries at 1,600 W. Shark does not publish airflow or settings, so a numbers-only comparison is incomplete, but the price gap is not.
Against Dyson's own i.d., the $100 step is easier to justify if you straighten: the straightener is new and the wattage jump is real. If you only curl, the i.d. at $649.99 does the same job with a slower motor.
The value score would move up if the price fell or if Dyson published measured heat and drying-time figures that let buyers see what the money buys. Every tool in this category is collected on the hair dryers and stylers topic page.
Support, warranty and returns
The support terms are identical to the Supersonic Nural's: a 2-year limited warranty, a 30-day money-back guarantee for direct purchases, four to eight weeks of return processing, a helpline Monday to Saturday and digital support stated as 24 hours a day.
Dyson offers in-person styling demonstrations for the Airwrap, bookable from the product page, which is a support channel the other three vendors do not list.
The maintenance requirement is a filter clean; a filter cleaning brush is included in the i.d. box per that page, and the Co-anda2x in-the-box list did not name one separately on the day we read it.
The support score of 4.3 reflects clear terms and the demonstration option, with points off for the long return processing window and no published repair price.
What verified owners report
Dyson's product page showed a Bazaarvoice rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 11,659 ratings on October 16, 2026, with 87% of reviewers saying they would recommend the product. For the older i.d., the same module showed 4.7 from 23,748.
Those are seller-collected ratings on the seller's site and should be read as a satisfaction floor, not an audit. The featured review on the page was marked as gifted by Dyson, and we did not count how many others carried that label.
Dyson also cites owner surveys in its marketing footnotes: 85% said curls were bouncy with the conical barrel, 87% said hair had natural movement with the straightener. These are perception surveys and we do not treat them as performance data.
We will add independent review-site figures when a readable source publishes a count for this exact model.
Alternatives
Shark FlexStyle. Choose the FlexStyle if you want a full-power 1,600 W dryer that also curls and smooths for $229.99 to $349.99 and can live without airflow figures and app presets. Otherwise choose the Co-anda2x for the stronger motor, documented specs and air straightener. Full detail in our Shark FlexStyle review.
Dyson Supersonic Nural. Choose the Supersonic Nural if drying is most of what you do: it is a better-specified dryer with a longer cable at $449.99. Otherwise choose the Co-anda2x if styling is the point. See our Dyson Supersonic Nural review.
Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus. Choose the Revlon if a smooth volumised blowout is the only style you want and a 4-year warranty appeals. Otherwise choose the Co-anda2x for curling and straightening. See our Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus review.
Our ranked guide to dryers and stylers is on the guides index once published.
Bottom line
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x has the most complete specification sheet and the longest attachment list of any styler we have graded: 1,700 W, 14 l/s, a 150,000 rpm motor, four heats, RFID presets and an air straightener, with a 2-year warranty and a 4.8 owner rating on Dyson's site.
It earns 4.0 overall because value drags it down. At $749.99 it is for people who style often enough to use what the motor and attachments offer. Everyone else should read the Supersonic Nural or FlexStyle review first. Our approach to grading is on the about page.
Buy it if
- You curl or straighten several times a week and want to do it with warm air rather than a hot plate
- You want the straightening attachment, which the older Airwrap i.d. set does not include
- You value the app presets and attachment recognition, so the machine sets heat and airflow for each tool
- You already decided on an Airwrap and want the newest motor rather than saving $100 on the i.d.
Skip it if
- You mainly dry and occasionally diffuse: the Supersonic Nural is a better dryer for $300 less
- $749.99 is more than you want in a hair tool: the Shark FlexStyle does a similar range of jobs for a third of the price
- You need a long cable or dual voltage: 6.55 ft and 120 V only, per the specification table
Frequently asked
How much is the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x?
$749.99 on dyson.com for the Straight+Wavy set with presentation case, as of October 16, 2026. The older Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy set was listed at $649.99 the same day. Both carry a 2-year limited warranty and Dyson offers 0% APR financing over six months at checkout.
What is the difference between the Airwrap Co-anda2x and the Airwrap i.d.?
Per Dyson's two specification tables, the Co-anda2x lists 1,700 W, 14 l/s, four heats and a 150,000 rpm Gen2 motor; the i.d. lists 1,300 W, 13.5 l/s, three heats and a 110,000 rpm motor. Dyson states the new motor gives twice the air pressure and 30% more power. The Co-anda2x box adds an air straightener.
Can the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x dry hair from wet?
The set includes a Fast dryer 2x attachment, and Dyson states the Gen2 motor dries hair as fast as a full performance hair dryer. Dyson's own FAQ says the curling barrels work best on damp hair, so the intended routine is dry to damp with the fast dryer, then style.
How heavy is the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x?
The specification table lists 0.9 lb and dimensions of 10 by 2 by 1 inches, which describe the body without an attachment. Dyson does not publish attachment weights, so the weight you hold while curling is not on the spec sheet, as of October 16, 2026.
Does the Airwrap Co-anda2x work with older Airwrap attachments?
Dyson's Airwrap FAQ states its re-engineered attachments are compatible with every Airwrap multi-styler. The Co-anda2x page says attachment recognition relies on an RFID chip in the new attachments, so older pieces should fit but may not trigger the automatic presets. Confirm with Dyson support for a specific attachment.
Is the Dyson Airwrap worth it over the Shark FlexStyle?
On the spec sheets, the Airwrap Co-anda2x has more power, 1,700 W versus 1,600 W, a published airflow figure, four heats, attachment recognition and an air straightener. The FlexStyle has a full-power dryer mode and listed at $349.99, $229.99 on sale, versus $749.99. The gap is about which jobs you do most.
