Dyson Airwrap-Style HS05: Straightener, Brush, and Curler in One Prussian Blue Body

UK authorities issued a product safety alert for a counterfeit Dyson Airwrap classing it a 'Serious' risk of electric shock and fire because the internal wiring had insufficient creepage and clearance distances — a reminder that uncertified copies sold on grey-market channels can be electrically unsafe, not merely lower-quality.

Buyers of replica/dupe Airwrap stylers report overheating in normal use: one says the device gets hot enough to set off the smoke alarm, another says the unit became so hot it burned her hand and she could not finish drying, and a third reports the copy heating far more than the original. Heat/burning-smell failure is the most common long-term complaint on these copies.

Across marketplace reviews of counterfeit/replica Dyson Airwrap-style stylers, buyers repeatedly report that the attachments fit badly — curling barrels and brushes have to be forced on or sit loose and wobble in the body. A buyer reviewing a copy sold as an HS05 says the attachments 'barely go on', and an AliExpress dupe buyer reports the attachments 'didn't fit together properly'. This is line-level counterfeit Airwrap evidence, not a specific test of this Weidian seller's batch.

A buyer of an AliExpress Airwrap-style dupe reports the motor overheated after only a few minutes of use, the attachments coupled poorly, and the styling results were unusable — i.e. even units that look convincing can fail on core performance rather than cosmetics.

Documented counterfeit Airwrap construction tells include an interior pouch without the Dyson logo, plain cross-head (Phillips) screws under the filter where genuine units use Torx, a pre-styling nozzle with no QR code and visibly recessed tubing, plus weaker airflow, lower inrush current and slower heat-up than the genuine unit. Buyers use these details to spot fakes of the same styler line.

Replicas of the Airwrap line typically use simpler motors: reviewers note copies are louder, with rattling overtones and unstable airflow versus the genuine Hyperdymium unit, and that copies usually lack the brief post-switch-off vibration that owners use as an authenticity check. Treat as line-level copy evidence rather than a measurement of this specific listing.

A recurring buyer complaint on copies of the HS05 sold as genuine is that the serial number does not verify as authentic — e.g. one HS05 buyer writes 'it doesn't come up as original on the site' — which is directly relevant to grey-market listings that promise the unit can be registered/activated on Dyson's site.

A buyer who paid full retail price for what turned out to be a counterfeit Dyson Airwrap reported low-quality materials, the device running hot enough to burn her hand, curling attachments that produced no curls, and none of the accessories seating on the body — a worst-case outcome buyers cite when copies are sold as originals.
