Replica Dyson dryers show color mismatches: testers found the copy's purple noticeably more purple while the genuine shade leans blue, and the copy's red button dots, indicator lights and logo print appear dull or blurry compared with the genuine item.

A buyer who paid 1699 RMB for a purported Dyson dryer reported very weak airflow and the unit cutting off after a few minutes of first use; police and reporters also warn counterfeit units use substandard materials and components, creating short-circuit, electric-shock and fire risks.

Chinese police cases show counterfeit Dyson hair dryers cost roughly 150–320 RMB to produce and move through multi-layer distribution at 220, 500, 1100 and up to 2400 RMB per unit, sold nationwide via Taobao, Xianyu and Weidian — so a Weidian listing priced far below official Dyson retail is likely a counterfeit rather than a discounted genuine unit.

To check authenticity of a Dyson-lookalike dryer, use the serial-number tag woven into the power cord and register it on Dyson's site — police found seized counterfeit units whose product serial numbers could not be found in the brand's official database.

Buyer complaints about Weidian '1:1' Dyson hair dryers describe the delivered unit as not matching the promised 1:1 spec, with the presentation gift box described as defective (lid would not close). This is line-level evidence from another Weidian replica Dyson listing (598 RMB), not this specific item page.

Side-by-side testing of a high-imitation ('1:1') copy Dyson hair dryer against a genuine unit found the copy's casing noticeably rougher than the genuine matte finish, its nozzle/button edges rough enough to scratch the hand, and its sliders stiff with high friction.

Bench testing of a replica Dyson dryer measured roughly 71–73 dB at all three speed settings (about 10 dB louder than the genuine dryer) and a lower top air speed (about 13 m/s vs about 16 m/s), so Dyson-level airflow and near-silent operation should not be expected from replica units.

In the same test, the replica's maximum heating power draw was far below its advertised class — about 923 W versus about 1511 W for the genuine unit — indicating rated wattage figures on replica listings may not reflect real output.
