THE verdict is in - Aldi’s bargain Dyson dupe is “incredible”. 

When the budget supermarket dropped its Visage Ionic Hairdryer for £14.99 earlier this year, a frenzy ensued.

The beauty tool is a dupe for the £280 Dyson Supersonic Origin Hair Dryer, and was said to be better than any other hair dryer Aldi had ever dropped. 

Shoppers raced to the nearest middle aisle to nab it in hues of black, silver and pink.

It sold out in a matter of hours, forcing supermarket bosses to bring us another restock earlier this week.

More beauty buffs managed to get their hands on one, and have now shared their reviews on social media

“Got this one last time around and it's INCREDIBLE,” one shopper beamed on Instagram

“The perfect hairdryer - quick and lightweight,” a second quipped. “Definitely a bargain.”

A third weighed in that it “dries her hair quick”, while another beamed that it was her “best buy of 2024”. 

The Ionic Hair Dryer is said to "achieve smooth, frizz-free hair quickly with Aldi’s cutting-edge” technology. 

That doesn’t sound too shabby for £14.99.

It has three heat settings and two speed settings, as well as a cool shot function.

The dryer comes with concentrator and diffuser attachments, as well as built in overheat protection. 

Aldi told Fabulous: "Aldi is kicking off Christmas party season with its latest range of beauty Specialbuys.

“Including the sell-out Ionic Hairdryer that will style locks for any occasion plus, a range of brand-new LED beauty products.

"As with all Specialbuys, beauty lovers better be quick if they want to get their hands on these bargain beauty buys.
