is airlight compatible With iOS 13.0 and above (including iPas), Android 8.0 Oreo and above and Bluetooth 5.0. It offers 12 presets designed for four different modes: Standard, Sleek, Curly, and Coily. Each preset is adjustable and can be saved for future use, so once you lock your settings, they're always ready. There is also a completely customizable mode. Another small but welcome feature is the app's usage tracker, which logs how long you've used the dryer. It seems minor, but knowing when to clean the filter can extend the lifespan of the product (more on this later).
The app is clearly in its early stages, but it works well and leaves plenty of room for updates. I can't help but imagine how much better it could be with features like heat-styling tips from pros, quick video tutorials, or even curated inspiration boards for different hairstyles. L'Oreal has laid the groundwork here, and I look forward to seeing how they build on this in the future.

In an industry where many gadgets are destined for landfill, the AirLite Pro is something of a standout. L'Oreal claims the Airlight Pro engine is built for the long haul, with a lifespan that can be extended up to 10 years of professional-level use – that's about two hours a day, five days a week. For anyone who has put up with a cheap hair dryer that barely lasts a season, this alone is a promising proposition.
However, what really sets the AirLite Pro apart is its repairability. L'Oréal is making spare parts available as early as 2025. The AirLite Pro also has a built-in filter cleaning alert when it needs cleaning. The frequency varies depending on air quality, everyday dust and other particles (i.e., hairspray). If the filter reaches critical condition, the dryer shuts off until you clean it to avoid motor damage. I haven't gotten to that point yet, so I can't vouch for how well it works, but I do appreciate the idea of a blow-dryer considering its longevity.
At $475, the AirLite Pro isn't cheap. But this Wirral is only $45 more than the Dyson Supersonic and has several advantages — it's quieter than the Dyson, faster at drying my hair, and more customizable with the app. And most importantly, if it gets damaged after the warranty is over, you can get it repaired. If I'm going to spend nearly $500 on a hair dryer, I want to make sure I'm only doing it once. The AirLite Pro's tailored experience is worth it.
