Dreame Technology has added a new model to its Pocket hair dryer line, releasing the Pocket Cake High-Speed Hair Dryer in Australia as a compact, travel-oriented styling tool. The company says the device combines high airflow, automatic temperature control and a foldable body in a package weighing less than 450 grams.

The launch builds on the earlier Pocket hair dryer. According to Dreame Technology Australia and New Zealand business director Patrick Wang, Australian shoppers are increasingly looking for products that fit busy lifestyles without giving up performance.

“Pocket Cake delivers professional-level drying performance in a compact design, making it ideal for everyday styling, travel and life on the go,” Wang said, adding that the release reflects the company's push into the beauty and personal-care category. These are the company's characterisations of the product rather than independently verified results.

What the specifications cover

Dreame lists a 110,000RPM brushless motor generating airflow of up to 70 metres per second, which the company says helps cut drying time. The dryer uses an NTC temperature control system that monitors temperature 500 times per second and adjusts heat output to hold a consistent drying temperature, an approach intended to limit excessive heat exposure.

The unit is also rated at 350 million negative ions per cubic centimetre, a feature Dreame says is designed to reduce static and flyaways and leave hair looking smoother after styling.

  • Form: 180-degree foldable design that collapses into a phone-sized shape for storage and transport.
  • Weight: under 450 grams.
  • Voltage: 220–240V.
  • In the box: styling nozzle and storage bag.

Dreame says the folded body is sized to fit into luggage, handbags or bathroom drawers.

Colours and availability

The range comes in four finishes named after macaron colours: Lemon Parfait, a bright yellow; Peach Mochi, a soft peach-pink; Grape Mousse, a soft lavender; and Tiramisu, a warm brown.

The Pocket Cake High-Speed Hair Dryer 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 from mid-November. It carries a recommended retail price of $299.

For retailers, the launch places a sub-$300 high-speed dryer with a folding body into the travel and gifting segments, where size and portability often weigh heavily in the purchase decision. The four-colour lineup also gives floor and online ranges a visual point of difference within a single product family.

The compact format puts the dryer alongside other travel-oriented high-speed models, a category where buyers balance airflow and heat control against size and price. Dreame's figures for motor speed, airflow and ion output are manufacturer specifications; practical drying time and hair condition outcomes would depend on hair type, styling routine and how the dryer is used.
