Who the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is for

Buy it if: Anyone who heat-styles frequently and wants temperature regulation rather than raw power.

Avoid it if: Anyone who dries their hair occasionally -- the price is not recoverable in that use.

Who the Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 Trimmer is for

Buy it if: Anyone wanting one device for beard, body, nose and ear grooming.

Avoid it if: Anyone who only trims a beard -- a dedicated beard trimmer does it better for less.
