- The Miracle Pro is a new premium hair dryer from Dreame
- It uses AI to sense its distance from your head and adjust the temperature in response
- It also includes red light therapy and a nourishing mister
Dreame has taken a leaf out of Dyson‘s book with its new hair dryer. The Miracle Pro doesn’t just blast out hot air – oh no. It’s packed with tech and features geared towards delivering luscious, healthy locks. I got to try it out in person – and I barely knew where to start.
The headline feature is an AI-powered Auto mode that senses how close the dryer is to your head, and adjusts airflow and temperature in response. It’s designed to protect your hair and scalp – if the dryer is right up close to your head, everything amps down so you don’t get unnecessarily blasted with heat and air.
The idea makes sense, although during my brief hands-on time I wasn’t blown away (no pun intended) by the execution. I could only really feel the windspeed amping up and down – placing my hand near the barrel was still uncomfortably hot. It also took a bit of time for the dryer to respond to its new orientation.
This feature is surely inspired by the Dyson Supersonic Nural – the latest iteration of Dyson’s uber-popular dryer, and one of the very best hair dryers on the market right now. The Nural has a very similar feature, although that model only adjusts temperature and not airflow, and uses sensors rather than AI (I’m skeptical of the extent to which AI plays a role in Dreame’s dryer, to be perfectly honest, but that’s by the by). On test it felt like the Nural responded much quicker than the Miracle Pro.
However, the Miracle Pro has several tricks you won’t find on Dyson’s dryers. Around the nozzle of the dryer is a light ring that delivers dual-wavelength red light therapy, at 633 and 1064 nanometers.
Red light therapy is one of the hot skincare trends right now – masks like the Shark CryoGlow issue red light to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Here, it’ll apparently stimulate micro-circulation in the scalp, encouraging more oxygen and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. Over time, this should support stronger hair growth and help hair feel more resilient.
On top of that, this dryer also has a built-in mister. A tiny capsule slots into a gap at the top of the dryer, and sprays an essence over your hair as you dry. This essence is water-based, and designed to nourish your hair, shield it from heat, and make it smell nice. The capsule is removable and refillable.
This was perhaps my favorite feature on test. Sure, spritzing your hair with a heat protectant before drying it is an easy alternative, but this feels much more luxurious. There is apparently a scent, but it’s not overwhelming – I couldn’t smell it when holding the dryer.
The shape is that streamlined look that was popularized by the original Dyson Supersonic but has since become common. The Miracle Pro is a little chunkier than the Supersonic Nural, but still compact and is light enough to be comfortable to wield, despite the volume of tech packed in there. It also stands out from the pack with the same faux-leather finish that the brand used in its Dreame AirStyle Pro. Like that muti-styler, it also comes in a very smart storage case.
Price-wise it’s an investment, coming in at $399.99 / £349. However, it’s not quite as expensive as the Supersonic Nural ($499.99 / £399.99 / AU$749 at list price), and arguably justifies its price tag better with all those features.
It’s already on sale direct from Dreame US, and I’m currently confirming the UK on-sale date, along with pricing and availability in Australia. I couldn’t test everything properly during my 10 minutes of hands-on time in the Dreame showroom, but I’ve got a full review in the works, look out for our official verdict.
