Dreame Technology has released the Pocket Cake High-Speed Hair Dryer, a compact styling tool the company presents as a fast-drying unit that packs down for travel. The product builds on the earlier Dreame Pocket hair dryer and combines high airflow, automatic heat regulation and a foldable body in a single device.

Dreame Technology Australia and New Zealand business director Patrick Wang said buyers in the region are increasingly looking for appliances that fit busy routines without compromising on performance. He described the dryer as delivering professional-level drying in a compact format suited to everyday styling, travel and use on the move, and said the release reflects the company's push into the beauty and personal-care category.

Motor and airflow

The Pocket Cake is driven by a brushless motor rated at 110,000rpm, which Dreame says can produce airflow speeds of up to 70 metres per second and thereby shorten drying times. These are manufacturer specifications; the announcement did not include independent test results or comparisons with other dryers.

Heat control and static

An NTC temperature control system samples temperature 500 times per second and adjusts heat output automatically, a function Dreame says holds the drying temperature steady and limits excessive heat exposure to the hair. The dryer also generates 350 million negative ions per cubic centimetre, a feature the company links to reduced static and fewer flyaways, and to a smoother finish after styling.

Portability

A 180-degree hinge allows the dryer to collapse into what Dreame describes as a phone-sized shape for storage in luggage, handbags or bathroom drawers. The unit weighs less than 450 grams and is rated for 220-240V supply, a configuration matched to mains voltage in markets such as Australia. It ships with a styling nozzle and a storage bag.

Finishes

The dryer is offered in four colourways named after macaron shades:

  • Lemon Parfait — a bright yellow;
  • Peach Mochi — a soft peach-pink;
  • Grape Mousse — a soft lavender;
  • Tiramisu — a warm brown.

Price and availability

The Pocket Cake is available now online through Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and the Dreame website, with in-store availability at Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi scheduled from mid-November. It carries a recommended retail price of $299, with the styling nozzle and storage bag included in the pack.
