Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x Multi-Styler and Dryer (Straight+Wavy) vs L'ange Le Volume 2-in-1 Titanium Brush Dryer
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Hot Air Brushes: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Airwrap Co-anda2x does the most jobs: it dries like a full hair dryer, curls with two Coanda barrels, straightens with an air straightener and adjusts heat and airflow to each attachment. The L'ange Le Volume does one job, a round-brush blowout, for a small fraction of the price and tells you exactly how hot each setting runs.
Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x Multi-Styler and Dryer (Straight+Wavy)
Buy itA 1,700 W multi-styler with six attachments that dry, curl, straighten, smooth and volumize, and set their own heat and airflow.
- Six attachments in the Straight+Wavy box: two Coanda curling barrels (Conical and 1.6 inch), an anti-snag loop brush, an air straightener, a large round volumizing brush and a fast dryer.
- 4 heat and 3 speed settings, and an RFID chip in each attachment presets heat and airflow and remembers your changes.
- Dyson says it measures air temperature over 1000 times a second to regulate heat, and lists the handle at 0.9 lb.
- Premium price, several times the cost of a good brush dryer.
- Attachments from earlier Airwrap models do not fit, and Co-anda2x attachments do not fit older devices.
- Built for one voltage (120V in the US); Dyson advises against using it abroad with an adapter.
L'ange Le Volume 2-in-1 Titanium Brush Dryer
Buy itA 1000W oval brush dryer in 60mm or 75mm that publishes its real temperatures and weighs 1.1 lb.
- L'ange lists actual temperatures: Cool 95.36°F, Low 178.88°F and High 225.68°F, which few brush dryers publish.
- Two barrel sizes: 60mm for shoulder-length or shorter hair, 75mm for hair below the shoulders.
- Titanium barrel with negative ion technology, heat-tolerant synthetic boar-style bristles and a 6.6 ft 360° swivel cord.
- Only three settings on one dial (cool, low, high), with no separate speed control.
- One fixed oval barrel, so it does blowouts and bends, not defined curls or flat-straight hair.
- Rated 125V, 60Hz, so it is not a travel tool for 220-240V countries.
