If you've been going back and forth on whether to splurge on a Dyson Airwrap or grab the cheaper Shark FlexStyle, this might be your sign: the Shark FlexStyle is currently a third of the price of the Dyson Airwrap.
Yes, you read that right. Typically, opting for Shark's multi-styler at full price can save you half the price of the $600 Airwrap, but a deal at Woot as of Jan 13 brings the Shark FlexStyle down to an impressive $199.99. At the time of writing, Woot is the only retailer with this low of a price, bringing the FlexStyle to nearly back down its best price ever (second only to a $190 bundle deal Mashable spotted in June of last year).

But having tried my fair share of Airwrap dupes, I can confidently say that Shark's is generally the best one for most people. When I've been asked by coworkers or friends if they should drop the cash on the Airwrap, I basically always make the case for giving the FlexStyle a chance instead.
Besides the money saved, Shark's tool can be used without attachments. They have an impressive attachment assortment that you can build on with individual purchases (and typically run about $10 cheaper per attachment than Dyson) and delivered nearly identical results when I tested the tools side by side. In my experience, the biggest edge Dyson has is that you don't have to swap the curling barrels to change the direction of the curl and the tool itself has a luxe (but not necessarily better constructed) feel.

If that makes a $300 to $400 difference to you, then the Airwrap might be your best bet. But if you've been waiting to get a multi-styler at an affordable price point, $200 for the FlexStyle is rare — and hard to beat.
