Now that the old one is working, you should split your hair down the middle and do half-half drying to compare the drying power / results of real vs fake! 😆

I love that your fake dyson started working again! It’s like taking your sick child to the doctor, only to have their symptoms disappear. I have a coffee maker that stopped heating water until I got a replacement. Suddenly it started working again, so we kept the replacement for a backup. That was five years ago!

[@johnsonfamilynaturals]

Lol that's hilarious and crazy at the same time 😂

[@shawnaswank9564]

oh my gosh, that happened to me also but it was my refrigerator 😂

[@brittany9470]

The counterfeit box is the exact same as my real dyson hairdryer that I bought from ULTA in 2018. They made the boxes to match identically to the ones made at that time. Packaging may have changed for the newer models. I wouldn’t go by the box alone as a way to tell if it’s counterfeit though.

[@hunnnnerr]

I bought one in May from Ulta and it had the same packaging as the fake one, just a different color

[@k99ef01]

Coming to say this as well. I got mine in 2019, I believe, and it had the bigger box. Bought it at Nordstrom.

[@DreamingKoreanBallad]

Got mine earlier this year and my box looks the same as the fake one too lol and I ordered mine directly from the Dyson website (wasn't going to risk such an expensive purchase on a potential fake lol)

[@Krystyna14]

I bought mine last year from Sephora and it was the same box

[@caitlinh6182]

I got my white and silver one from ulta back in august and it had the same slide box as the fake one

[@DanGray28]

I got mine from Dyson Dubai yesterday and it's the same as your fake one. I don't believe yours is fake, it's just for a different region, mine is also made in Malaysia. I don't know if the hair dryer is duel voltage, but I believe yours has thicker cable because it draws more amps on 110V. I suggest you keep the other one for when you travel anywhere outside the US.

[@lanahormiz8240]

What an awesome colour! I love the orange! I saw your videos using the (fake) dyson and it convinced me to buy one. I cant believe it was such a good knock off!

[@AlexasCurls]

This video is so helpful especially because I’m looking into buying a Dyson & I was looking on Random websites but I think I’m going to stick to a certified retailer!

[@MetalMouth6963]

I saw someone post on her previous video that they waited for ulta to have a discount that included the dyson and then also signed up for their credit card and got 40% of total

[@colleenpentecost6256]

The LOOK on your face when the fake one started working I replayed it and it was just as entertaining! Couldn’t imagine in a million years that it would’ve started working again! And repeatedly working! I’m still shocked and amused 😂😵

I was so surprised when I saw u didn't have 100,000 subs! Your videos are so helpful!

[@keyzaalmanza6971]

When you update us, let us know if your drying time is shortened by the real one. I switched to a Dyson a little bit ago and it cut my drying time in half!

[@ourrunninghabit7457]

Manufacturers have been required to have those GFCI plugs on hair dryers sold in the US since 1991. So, not only was your first "Dyson" a fake, but it was not made to code in the US.

[@MetalMouth6963]

Apparently though in Canada they dont have GFCI outlets on their plug

[@Nfriesen91]

Ya in Canada we don't have those kind of plugs

[@cathyh675]

My guess is that it isn't really counterfeit so much as a model meant for another country. Customer service would only know it wasn't a registration code used in the US so would lead them to believe it was counterfeit.

[@Nfriesen91]

No it is still a fake. The plug is the only different thing between countries and if you watch her videos there are more differences on the fake then just the cord

[@MichaelCSA]

That's only in the US as your outlets are a low wattage and can't handle much power. other countries don't have those to this day. I have many hair products brand new in 2021 none of them have that. they do have the warning sticker about the bath tho like on her new one. (I'm in Australia)

[@SioLazer]

way to make lemonade Courtney! thanks so much for sharing this very helpful information.

[@ginat5963]

Weirdly, my real Dyson-bought at Ulta, has the Dyson cord (that attached brick on the cord is a bit of a pain)-was packaged just like the fake Dyson.

[@derrickjenniferwatkins1394]

AVE is a machinist here on KZbin who disassembles and reviews tools etc. He did a Dyson hairdryer and wasn't blown away but what he found. Now I wonder if he disassembled a fake!?!

[@kimhefley1683]

I love your positivity 💕. Glad you could purchase the real deal

[@sacredsiren]

My real Dyson (purchased direct from Ulta) came in a box identical to the fake you have. Never have seen one in the packaging that you have from Best Buy, but they may have updated them since I bought mine in early 2020.

[@cathyhove-bush4179]

I am in Yorkshire, England and have owned my Dyson hairdryer for approximately three years. Just to let you know that my Dyson of which I am certain is genuine has a label on the card, similar to yours which also says “made in Malaysia“.

[@krista436]

I don’t know that I would notice if I bought it, but I can say I’ve never had a dryer without a reset button. I didn’t think about it until you showed the plugs!

[@erin9121]

Warning for Canadians : can confirm that mine had no reset button but was still a real one (had to go through warranty). So don't sweat it if you don't have the plug with the reset button, as Courtney mentioned in the video ;)

[@aishavaldovinos7853]

I wonder if Courtney bought a Canadian version on Ebay.

The voltage would affect the appearance of the end of the 🔌 for different countries. In the USA, it’s usually 120 voltage and in 🇬🇧 it’s 240 voltage. Not sure if it’s required to have the plug with the reset button in other countries though. This was interesting!

[@MichaelCSA]

Hi. I'm in australia and as far as I know, I have never seen the reset thing before. Australia and UK has a higher voltage outlet so we don't need the surge protector thing. that's a USA only thing.

So how do they both dry the hair though, that's the big question. Maybe time dry one side with one and then the other side with the other?

[@marie_h1104]

I was SHOCKED when that fake came on (and the pitch was noticeable)! I'm glad you did get a real Dyson; they make decent products. I'm still miffed several years later that someone stole my Dyson vacuum!

[@hsemovski]

This is not fake ...giiirl... it is made for the Asian market .... you can also register the product on their site...

[@podunkpretties]

Thanks for all the info. I'm new to the curly girl method and Dyson. I had never heard of Dyson until yours broke. Sadly I can't afford one. Most of my extra cash right now is going to help my daughter pay for homeschooling supplies during the shut downs. Maybe next year when the kids are back in school grandma can splurge for a new hair dryer. Thanks again!

I had a hairdresser burn me with her Dyson. It was brand new to her and she swore it was "smart" and couldn't damage hair or burn people. She burned off a ton of my hair and my scalp was so injured. I tried to tell her it was too hot many times and she just kept waving me off.

[@morgansides294]

This was a great informational video Courtney... and your sweater is very cute 🙂

[@jenniferp1632]

Wouldn't registering the Dyson product verify right away whether or not the product serial number was counterfeit? I realize that many folks might forget to register or not do this at all, but for any product of this price point, I would recommend to always register your product. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thank you for this video. After watching this , I was armed with the knowledge to keep myself from buying a counterfeit!!

[@colleencathrae6523]

I hope that you got yourself a new Dyson and one for your planned giveaway 😉. That special edition one is very nice. From the video it looks like the material of the dryer is higher nicer than the fake one. But I don't have a Dyson so I don't know what the normal one looks like.

[@strngenchantedgirl]

Having bought other dyson products that box on the dupe does not seem like a dyson package. That’s crazy that so many unboxing videos have fakes.

[@laurenjerzak8526]

Have you talked about how to help form curls on the back of the head. I have trouble with this. They are never as voluminous as the front ones.

How did they compare as far as usage and performance I did hear the sounds and the temperatures but I'm meeting actual in hand performance of drying your hair?

[@jonstermonster25]

In 2004, the Meiban-Dyson Laundry Manufacturing Plant was opened in Johor, Malaysia. The RM10 million (approx. US$2.63 million) plant is a joint venture between Dyson and the Singapore-based Meiban Group Ltd., which has manufacturing facilities in China, Malaysia and Singapore.[26] Dyson stated that the cost savings from transferring production to Malaysia enabled investment in research and development at their Malmesbury head office.

[@debbiecornelius3669]

Thank you for educating us on this. It may help a lot of people before they might unknowingly purchase fake dyson products for Christmas gifts.

[@KathleenKC1]

I like Science Courtney - I think the real cord is longer than the fake cord. It also explains why I find the hot temp too hot on my Dyson, but you didn't seem to have that problem when you used the fake.

[@cintiacin8526]

Thank you! Very helpful video!

[@MarcioNovelli]

In Canada, our resets are built directly into our outlets anywhere that water is present - bathrooms, kitchens, etc.

[@amandafirkus2690]

I couldn’t figure out how you could use medium heat to dry your hair let alone hold it to your head for a minute. I tried that and I seriously thought my scalp was going to burst into flames! But now it makes sense! Also, I purchased mine from Ulta and it came in packaging like your counterfeit.

[@Naishelly85]

I burn my scalp by heat level 1. I thought it was fake because I thought dyson has no heat damage. But maybe it is the real one 😅

the reason the real Dyson outside of the United States does not have the reset button is the reset button is for something called a groundfold circuit interruptor where GFCI and all the United States are required to have one included on the plug

[@cherylmeredith2248]

Your amazement when it started working, so funny!

[@lohofa]

Have seen a few of you posts about your Dyson. Are you sure the old one is a fake? Since your husband bought it from a seller on eBay, it might be a model from overseas. If you search on "unboxing Dyson hairdryer", you'll see a lot of boxes that look like your old model. Some are also made in Malaysia and bought from official sellers. Concerning the reset button, I think that is an exclusive US thing. Never heard or seen it before and it is not on any of the model I've seen in videos from non-US.

[@TheJanaRina]

Got a Dyson off of Dyson uk web page last week. The same copper model as you. It does not have the reset button or that black box. I am wondering if the black box is a voltage converter because Dyson is a British company and our voltage is different here compared to you guys (higher).

[@petrichor_dreams_]

It could also be that a GFCI plug is required is the US
