AER Dryer — Smart, cordless hair dryer with AI optimal heating

@eralp_arslan Hi Eralp, your feedback is greatly appreciated! To answer your question, AER Dryer is close to 2 lbs (0.9 kg), which is as heavy as a standard hair dryer, if not lighter. Actually one of the most common first reactions that we usually get with our prototypes is how unexpectedly light it feels at hand. You can watch some of those first reaction videos by professional hair stylists on our Kickstarter page. Thank you! ❤️

@bulut_sakchak That's pretty light actually. I'm onboard.

@vverweij thank you for the comment and I take it as a compliment :) Honestly it's totally justifiable to think that, considering all the hair dryers, even the $500 ones on the market. As I tried to explain in my first comment, that's why we thought it's the perfect category to disrupt too. Just to provide more details, our patented SmartDry™ AI uses 13 built-in heat and humidity sensors to understand how long it usually takes to dry your hair and gradually adapts heat and fan speed as it learns your preferences. So instead of manually adjusting all the settings all the time (like with any other dryer), you simply press 'SmartDry' button and let AER gradually cool down the temperature and adjust the air flow with the perfect settings personalized for you. AER's also the only dryer out there that pairs with your phone via AER app to periodically download firmware updates in order to improve the device as you continue to use it, similar to a Tesla car. We even have a 3-axis Accelerometer inside in order to support features like automatic idleness recognition, detecting free fall to safely shutdown and gesture recognition in the future. So yeah we don't use the words 'Smart' and 'AI' casually. I know even these features and functions are very unexpected for a hair dryer and we didn't even get to the fact that it's cordless thanks to the patented battery technology couple of years ahead of what's currently available to others. I invite you to visit our website to get more information on our technology and stay in touch as we unveil more under-the-hood details. Again I totally get the skepticism with all the AI-craze going on out there and I really appreciate your interest and the support! ❤️

@verabb thanks a lot for the amazing feedback. ❤️ To quickly answer your questions, with a fully-charged AER, you get up to 4 hours of runtime depending on heat settings. SmartDry mode optimizes those settings for you so you get the maximum runtime. Yes, it works corded as well, making it very versatile. We obviously don't provide too much detail into the battery technology itself since it's the secret sauce, but just to provide some high level stats, we are using our proprietary Silicon Anode Lithium Ion battery technology, which allows us to get 10-16% higher energy density and 2.5 times higher power density compared to Tesla Model 3 2170 cell, making the magic of a high performance cordless hair dryer possible for the first time ever.

@verabb @bulut_sakchak I'm really sorry, it still sounds too good to be true... In the case that it is actually true, the right to the patent (I'm not sure you can patent it though, I'm sure you've dug deep into this topic) would all in itself give you millions, now this might not be you core buissness in the customer side but thst'd give you a BIG push (Something similar to Amazon and AWS). In other words, having invented a battery which is 10-16% higher in energy density and 2.5 times higher in power density than a state-of-the-art battery, why do you need crowdfunding? Having said that, the idea is relly cool :)

@aguilaair_tech - All good, totally valid points again and you actually hit the nail on the head in terms of our longterm strategy regarding our battery technology, which is really the driving force behind AER. Kickstarter campaign was launched primarily not to raise funds since we are fully funded by our private investors but to give a chance to early adopters and enthusiasts to get their hands first on AER with a nice early bird discount. Actually the main reason why we picked the path of developing the first cordless hair dryer because it's the perfect proof of concept for our battery tech, the lack of which is the reason why someone like Dyson hasn't already done so (and disrupting a mass consumer category that's worth billions never hurts.) Really really appreciate the great insight and your comment, I would love to keep in touch as we get ready to ship and prove our exceptional battery tech, thank you! ❤️

@bulut_sakchak Hey! not sure if you are still replying on PH... However, I was thinking if you could inform us a bit about the durability and eco-friendliness of your battery tech. How does it compare to tipical Li-ion and LiPo batteries?

@izlem_alacam thanks so much for your feedback! ❤️ AER will arrive with two attachments, a diffuser and a concentrator so it's possible to go after any style you want. The air flow is highly adjustable and on par with the high performance professional grade dryers that salons use so you won't be disappointed. Thank you!

@eric_nelson2 Appreciate the kind feedback, thanks ❤️

@nlm Your support means a lot! Thanks ❤️

@sunny_syed So happy to hear that Sunny! We hope to start delivering the first party in early November to stay tuned!

@joshuapinter thank you for the feedback, Joshua! ❤️ Totally agree with the fact that being cordless is the biggest innovation and that's what we usually lead with on our marketing channels. If you are interested, I went through the details about what makes AER 'smart' and how AI is involved in great detail in a response above, we really try to not use those terms casually however over-used they might be. Again your feedback is appreciated, thanks!

@david_kart1 thank you David ❤️
