Are you looking for the best alternative to the Dyson Airwrap? The MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 is a great option to consider. The Airstyler 5-in-1 is a styling tool that offers versatile hair styling. In this blog, we'll compare the MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 as an Airwrap dupe to the Dyson Airwrap.
About the Dyson Airwrap
The Dyson Airwrap is one of the most popular hairstylers on the market. It comes with various attachments for styling your hair and features special technology that prevents hair damage.
A major advantage of the Dyson hairdryer is that it's a highly advanced hairstyling tool. It has multiple temperature settings and an integrated cooling system, allowing you to cool your hair with a single button press. This helps your curls stay in shape longer.
Additionally, the Dyson Airwrap comes with many more attachments. Below is a list of everything you need:
- Airwrap™ long barrel (40mm Ø) for loose, bouncy curls and waves in both directions, designed for longer hair
- Airwrap™ long barrel (30mm Ø) for clockwise and counter-clockwise curls with volume, designed for longer hair
- Soft smoothing brush for more control and straight hair for fine hair, thanks to improved Coanda airflow
- Round volumizing brush to add volume deep into the hair and style the hair as it dries
- Filter cleaning brush to easily clean the filter
- Coanda smoothing dryer for drying and smoothing hair and hiding flyaways with one multi-functional attachment
- Storage case to safely and neatly store the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler with attachments
- Firm smoothing brush for smoothing frizz-prone hair, thanks to firm bristles and improved Coanda airflow.

A downside of the Dyson Airwrap is that it is significantly more expensive than the 5-in-1 Airstyler. The Dyson Airwrap easily costs 500 euros, which is out of budget for many people.
MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 vs. Dyson Airwrap: The Difference
There are differences between the MAE 5-in-1 Airstyler and the Dyson Airwrap. The most important ones are described below:
Attachments
The attachments are roughly similar for both variants. However, the MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 only has one size of curling attachment, whereas Dyson has two sizes. On the other hand, the MAE Airstyler Pro does have both sizes. More information about this variant can be found here.
Storage case
With Dyson, you receive a leather case to store your tool. Unfortunately, this is not included with MAE. However, the MAE Airstyler does take up less space.
Technology
The technology is the same; both airstylers use Coanda technology.
Styling possibilities
The styling options are similar; both offer multiple attachments that can provide variation.
The Curl
The curl lasts equally long. With the Dyson, you initially create slightly more compact curls, but after half an hour, the effect of both styling tools is the same with the curling attachment.
The Price
The price is the biggest difference. While the Dyson Airwrap costs around 500 euros, the MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 can be purchased for €79.95!

MAE Airstyler: the ultimate Dyson Airwrap dupe
In summary, both products are good choices if you're looking for an Airstyler. The MAE Airstyler is a good alternative to the Dyson Airwrap, and the advantages of this dupe are:
- The MAE Airstyler 5-in-1 is significantly better priced than the Dyson Airwrap. The difference is hundreds of euros!
