British design and engineering firm Dyson has announced the release of its first hairdryer.

The dryer contains a small air pump located in the handle which, the company says, makes it lighter and less noisy than rival devices.

Sensors in the device check the temperature making it less likely to overheat and damage the hair.

The company said it has spent 拢50m ($73m) and taken five years to develop the product.
