Our frizzy-haired shopping pro loves the iconic Dyson Airwrap — and it's $100 off
Time to let you in on a little secret: Presidents' Day has some of the best and deepest discounts on tech gadgets. This includes a high-tech hair tool that is so sought-after that it's considered a status symbol among beauty enthusiasts: The Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler. And thanks to Amazon's Presidents' Day sale, you can get this bad boy at a $101 discount — it's the lowest we've seen it this year.
How do we know? Our squad of shopping sleuths has been digging into price histories and stalking sales to ensure every deal we share is truly worth your time, especially during holiday weekend sales.
Now that we have your attention, let us introduce you to your new best friend. When one of our editors, Britt Ross, reviewed the Dyson Airwrap, she recommended it whole-heartedly, especially for those looking for versatility and heat that's a lot more gentle than the more budget-friendly brands.
It's no secret that the Dyson Airwrap is pricey with a capital P — so any discount is a good discount in our eyes. While there are a few different versions of the tool and the others occasionally go on sale, this is the best discount of 2025.
When Britt first unboxed the Dyson Airwrap, her immediate impression was, "OK, this is a luxury product," she writes.
One of the best perks of this doodad is that it lets you style your hair while it's damp, cutting your primping time down significantly. It comes with a range of brushes and barrels for curling, straightening, volumizing and smoothing hair, so it can bend to all of your styling whims. But while it comes with more attachments than most, Britt still found it extremely user-friendly. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I was relieved to find that the Airwrap is quite user-friendly," she writes. "Just snap each attachment into place and choose your settings (there are three each for heat and airflow)."
Furthermore, Britt writes, "Thanks to the intelligent heat control, the heat also felt more diffused, even on the highest setting. It was still powerful enough to dry my hair in a fraction of the time it takes with a blow dryer."
Overall, Britt thinks the Airwrap is definitely worth the money. "I feel a lot better about using the Airwrap's diffused heat on my hair, and it feels more comfortable on my scalp," she writes. "The Airwrap has significantly sped up my hairstyling process while making my hair look better than a standard hairdryer ever could. My strands are fine, but I have a lot of them, and I can safely say this tool has cut my drying and styling time in half.
Some 1,400 shoppers give this gadget a thumbs up.
Even the pros swear by it. "I am a hairstylist and on my second Airwrap. It is an amazing tool if you know how to use it," gushed one. "The Airwrap saves my arms, shoulders and back. It saves me also on time."
"What a great product for us 'older folks' who have reduced manual dexterity and limited mobility," shared one user.
Another fan wrote, "What used to take two hours, with drying and curling, now takes me 15 minutes! My hair is shinier and softer than it's ever been. ... It's absolutely changed my hair and how I get ready!"
Don't have a ton of time to spend on styling? No problem. "The ease of use is unparalleled. The intuitive controls and lightweight design make styling my hair a breeze, even on those hectic mornings when I'm short on time," raved a five-star shopper. "While the Dyson Airwrap is an investment, it's worth every penny for the quality, performance and convenience it delivers. I can confidently say that it has revolutionized my hair styling routine, and I can't imagine going back to traditional styling tools."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers didn't like the case. "While pretty looking, it's useless," wrote one shopper. "When I order my dryer, I'll purchase a cloth caddy that can attach to a wall with adhesive for storage and easy access! It is easy to travel with — as it takes up minimal space."
"It cuts drying time in half and leaves hair shiny, smooth and styled," shared another shopper. "The only complaint is the size of the entire package."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

UK's GCA to probe Amazon for alleged delays in supplier payments
UK's GCA launches probe into Amazon alleged delays in supplier payments The UK's Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) has initiated a probe into Amazon after concerns about alleged potential violations of regulations governing the timely payment to suppliers. The inquiry stems from suspicions that Amazon may have violated paragraph 5 of the code (no delay in payments) between 1 March 2022 and 20 June 2025. It will particularly scrutinise practices since 1 January 2024 to gain a comprehensive understanding of Amazon's current procedures. The investigation will assess the extent of any breaches, their impact on suppliers and the underlying causes. The GCA will examine Amazon's practices related to receiving goods, payment processes, handling supplier concerns about payment deductions and the use of settlements od deductions in its commercial negotiations. The GCA's decision to investigate follows previous interactions with Amazon. Mark White, the adjudicator, informed Amazon in 2024 that it must take decisive action to adhere to the code. White stated: 'Delays in payment can significantly harm suppliers. The alleged delays could expose Amazon suppliers to excessive risk and unexpected costs, potentially affecting their ability to invest and innovate. 'I decided to launch this targeted investigation based on the range of evidence I have seen from multiple sources. It will allow me to determine whether Amazon has breached paragraph 5 of the Groceries Code and the root cause of any breach.' The GCA states that despite Amazon's subsequent efforts, further detailed evidence from suppliers requires targeted investigation into payment practices. Reports have been received of other Groceries Code issues at Amazon. The GCA continues to work with Amazon to resolve these matters and remains prepared to initiate further investigations if required. White has called upon direct suppliers and stakeholders to contribute evidence and share their experiences of supplying to Amazon, as part of the GCA's evidence-gathering process for the ongoing investigation, stating: 'All responses will be completely confidential.' In June 2025, Amazon announced plans to downsize its corporate staff as it integrates generative AI technology into its business processes.

‘Uncertain' 2025, M&A Deadlock Freeze $1 Trillion in PE Assets
The word of the year on Wall Street, without a doubt, has been uncertainty. It's the catch-all to describe everything from the fog of trade to nonstop geopolitical tensions. The inherent uncertainty of uncertainty also makes it hard to put a price tag on its impact, but last week, accounting firm PwC offered up a number: $1 trillion. That's the value of unsold assets that would have been returned to investors if it weren't for private equity groups holding on to them while remaining in an uncertainty-driven holding pattern. READ ALSO: Amazon's Driverless Cab Company Zoox Revs Up 'Toaster Taxis' and Cybersecurity Giant Palo Alto Networks Caught Between Opportunity and Maturity With New Year's fireworks in January, Wall Street was full of hope for an M&A boom driven by an incoming Trump administration with deregulation at the heart of its agenda — and lighter scrutiny from regulators when rules come into play. You know the deal: President Trump has focused on other priorities to start his second term, and the resulting market limbo has put deals on hold. According to PwC analysts, plans for initial public offerings (IPOs) of companies worth a combined $120 billion were shelved in the first three weeks of April. The Federal Reserve's decision to hold off on rate cuts to wait for the potential impacts of tariffs has had a resulting domino effect: a lack of cheap debt, as higher interest rates make debt more expensive. PwC noted that 30% of the $3 trillion that private equity firms have invested in roughly 30,000 companies has been held for more than five years, an unusually long period compared with the typical timetable for PE shops to turn a profit on an investment. This, they surmised, is in part because they have been less able to finance growing companies without cheap debt. 'In a typical M&A cycle, $1 trillion would have already been put back into the market,' Josh Smigel, a PwC partner, said on a media call. The data, meanwhile, looks like a set of spinning wheels: Deal volume and value have been more or less flat year-over-year, PwC said, with roughly 4,500 deals worth a total of $567 billion through May. In response to PwC's May Pulse Survey, 30% of respondents said they have paused or revisited deals because of tariff concerns, which would delay investor returns. 'While nearly half (48%) of the business executives surveyed expect today's uncertainty to last less than a year, many anticipate it could extend through the next presidential election,' reads the report. Change Your Mind? With the possibility that the worst of the tariff warring is over, May data provides a more optimistic scenario. The number of deals worth more than $100 million climbed 6.1% from April, according to an EY-Parthenon analysis of Dealogic data, though overall deal volume fell 6.2% from May 2024.

Amazon's Driverless Cab Company Zoox Revs Up ‘Toaster Taxis'
Amazon hopes ride-hailers love direct eye contact because its carriage-style robotaxis feature four seats facing each other. After cutting the ribbon on a new factory in California, Amazon is ramping up production of its bidirectional, self-driving cabs ahead of a planned launch in Las Vegas later this year. The Bay Area facility currently churns out one robotaxi a day, but Zoox hopes to boost that rate to three an hour by next year. After buying Zoox five years ago for $1.3 billion, Amazon is prepping a big push onto the roads of major cities (first, Las Vegas and later, San Francisco, Austin and Miami). But rivals are already there. READ ALSO: Cybersecurity Giant Palo Alto Networks Caught Between Opportunity and Maturity and 'Uncertain' 2025, M&A Deadlock Freeze $1 Trillion in PE Assets Alphabet's Waymo said it provides 250,000 rides a week in its self-driving cabs, up from 10,000 two years ago. Riders can hail a driverless Jaguar from Waymo's app in Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. Waymo also recently applied for a permit to operate in New York City, where state law will require a driver, though the company is pushing to change that provision. So far, Waymo is the only fully operational self-driving taxi service in the US, but Tesla is trying to join it ASAP: CEO Elon Musk promised in 2021 that Tesla would have a million robotaxis on the road by now, which … didn't happen. Tesla did, however, put a small group of robotaxis on the road in Austin, Texas, last weekend, which Musk described in a virtual victory lap as 'the culmination of a decade of hard work.' Regulators are investigating Tesla's self-driving tech in connection with fatal accidents as critics raise red flags about its robotaxi's lack of lidar and radar, which Waymo and Zoox use. Waymo and Zoox have been investigated after incidents including erratic driving. Yellow Light. Zoox is trying to join a race that Waymo's already a few laps into, but Waymo may have made the road a little smoother. Waymo eased riders into the concept of driverless taxis with its fleet of Jaguars, which look like regular cars with some extra gadgets whirring around. Zoox's autonomous taxis don't even have a steering wheel, so Zoox has planned a marketing push to persuade riders to hop into its toaster taxis. What'll probably be more important for swaying would-be riders is how safe upcoming robotaxi rollouts are. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.
