Rank #2 in Best Hair Dryer 2026: 10 Ranked by Spec Sheet, Not Slogans
BaByliss Super Power 2400 Hair Dryer (5240U)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BaByliss Super Power 2400 is the #2 pick in our best hair dryers guide. It is a corded 2400W dryer with a salon-grade AC motor, ionic frizz-control technology, three heat settings, two speed settings and a cold shot button, listed at £39.90. The Amazon listing carries a 4.6-star average from 3,680 ratings.
The listing's numbers mostly agree with each other: the 2400W in the title and first bullet is the same 2400W in the specification table, and the only weight given anywhere is 744 g in that table — no lighter figure appears in the marketing copy. That makes it the exception in a guide where other models quote one weight in the text and another in the specs. The one clear mismatch here is colour: the title says Black, the specification says White. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Ordered this hairdryer based on previous reviews and also the more powerful wattage. My last hairdryer was 2200W and it was great but basic and some days I just couldn't quite get my hair right so this time I thought I'd step up a power level to 2400W and I can definitely feel the difference! The hairdryer is a little heavier than I expected but I honestly didn't notice while I was drying my hair and it certainly didn't make my arms ache. The power options are great, so 2 speeds and 2 temperatures and a cold shot, although I found the coolest temperature option was a lovely cool blast post hair styling, for a woman of a certain age, if you know you know! It did a really good job drying my hair which I straighten with a round brush while I'm drying it, it stayed nice and straight all day. The buttons on the handle are raised so they're really easy to move even when your hands are a little stiff in the morning or they've have just had moisturiser on and also they don't accidentally get knocked while you're using the hairdryer which is a relief. I'm really happy with this hairdryer so far, I've had premium hairdryers and basic hairdryers in the past and I may just have found a great mid ground, this hairdryer feels like feels a well made and high quality product.”
Verified purchase“Powerful, not too heavy, really impressed for the price point.”
