Now I can quit taking a scissors to my ear...

I'm at that age folks... you know, when the hair stops growing on the top of my head, and instead, decides to grow in my ears! It's disgusting! Until now, I've been taking a small scissors and a couple of mirrors to try to trim those pesky things. There hasn't been too much blood shed, but the whole process is ridiculous. I went searching for one of these gadgets not knowing what to expect. I could never figure out how they worked. I mean, how do you get an electric razor that small? ... I got it, popped the battery in, and was totally amazed! It's hard to describe, but if you can picture the top of your little finger -- that's the size of this rotary electric razor that spins in a circle. I thought it might "pull" the hairs out, but it doesn't. This gadget has changed my life! They ought to put me on a commercial, but I'd be too embarrassed. This thing should be in the medicine cabinet of every man over 40... I highly recommend this product and am surprised they aren't doing mass advertising for it. If more people knew about it, it could take off and be a staple for family use. Amazon.com shipping was flawless, the product professionally packages - overall a 5 star experience and something that will save me a ton of aggravation in future years. Now if I could just get the hair on the top of my head to grow back... |
It's glorious!

My Sasquatch-like nostrils were becoming unmanageable. The unsightly nose hairs were so long they would sometimes get tangled, causing me extreme, eye-watering pain. During cold and flu season, it was not uncommon for me to get some "leftovers" stuck in my nose. I needed something that could tame the beast that resided inside my nose. I needed something that could cut through dense foliage, and not look back. Who was up for the challenge? Not many. I tried a number of different grooming tools, but none of them achieved the level of trimming that I desired. The "pretender groomers" (as I like to call them) would either yank out the hairs at an excruciatingly slow pace, or I would be left with stubble inside my nose. The ladies might like the "George Michael" 5 o'clock shadow, but nobody likes a 5 o'clock shadow in your nostrils. After many failed attempts, I was convinced that there wasn't a tool available that could handle my rigorous grooming demands. I was ready to give up and resort to using my blunt, miniature scissors for the rest of my life. And then I discovered the Panasonic Nose and Ear Hair Groomer. This remarkable piece of equipment mows down everything in its path. No pain, minimal motor noise (for those seeking a discrete trim), and it works equally well in wet or dry conditions. So, worry not Seattle natives! The one AA battery usually doesn't last long enough for me to complete my grooming ritual, but the 90-minute battery life should be more than sufficient for the rest of you. With an ergonomically designed stainless-steel blade that retains its sharpness, the Panasonic Nose and Ear Hair Groomer is the first and last personal groomer you will ever need. However, I'm slightly disturbed by Amazon's option to buy it used. |
Nice

| I tried this device for the first time today and it worked splendidly. As the previous reviewer noted, you can hear when it's getting hair, which is helpful. It cleared my nose right out and there's a bit of stubble left but overall I'm amazed at how smooth and clean it is in there now. A lot better than plucking or shoving your regular razor up there (hey, some days you're desperate). One thing - use this device over a sink and clean your nose out with a damp tissue afterward to get all the hair. I think it tries to get the hair it cuts, but it doesn't seem to be as successful at that. No big deal though. I have a feeling that I'll soon wonder how I ever managed without this device. |
Finally, a groomer that actually GROOMS! A++

| I am so happy with this Panasonic ER411 trimmer. After plucking and many other painful procedures, I gave up on these little trimmers because my previous one was WORTHLESS. I looked at Amazon and saw the wonderful reviews for this trimmer and resorted it as my last bet. I went to Target and found it, bought it for $19.99, and it works great! This is not just a tool for men, I'm a woman and I use it for the original purpose: nose and ear, but also eyebrows, upper lip, chin, cheeks, etc. I'm Greek and can not help my hairy genes, but this little trimmer works WELL and hasn't upset me yet. Much better than shaving, tweezing, plucking, depilatories, etc! You can basically use it anywhere on your face like I do, but I do not suggest using it on other parts of the body, like your chest, stomach, etc. In those areas, it pulls the hair and is quite painful. On my face I haven't had any pain yet, like other reviews stated. Don't jam the thing up your nose or ear, you'll be asking for it. Just use it properly and it'll give you great results. You may have to rinse your nose out because the tiny little cut hairs can be quite itchy. Other reviewers: please spare me the disgusting comments about your cleaning rituals. Sorry, we don't need to know everything!! Last tip: If you see a stubborn piece of hair that the trimmer is trimming but not removing, gently guide the trimmer the OPPOSITE direction over the hair and you'll hear a louder noise that lets you know it GOT the hair finally. All in all, a WONDERFUL trimmer, I have no complaints yet, I keep it in a drawer, I'm sure if you drop it you'll have problems, but isn't it that way with everything now? Just be careful and it'll last long. A+++!! Enjoy your hairfreeness! |
Finally, an ideal gift for Uncle Walter

Everyone has an Uncle Walter. Great sense of humor, helps you fix things, wears Aqua-Velva. You just love him to death, but he's got twigs growing out of his nose, and more hair IN his ears than around them.
Well, now you can help get that fella on the road to suave. Get him a Panasonic brand Nose and Ear Hair Groomer.
You see, I too had that problem. To solve it I tried the small, blunt scissors--Nope, too many nosebleeds. I even tried that German Spring Clamp thing--imagine an Epilady for your nose, yanking the hairs out by the roots! In desperation I nabbed a Panasonic. And I am VERY pleased with the results.
Helpful Hint: Always use a battery with some juice left in it. If you use a tired, half-drained one, the blades grind slower and the result is more like the Epilady thing.
The Panasonic is also very easy to clean. It has a nose-friendly design, works well to trim that Uni-brow and it evens out your mustache very nicely.
It may cost a few more bucks than those 'designer' groomers you see around, but in the long run you'll be happy with a well-designed tool that does the job well. |
Great little trimmer

| I have owned mine for about a year. Still works great. I just bought one for my Dad (on my Mom's request...) Does the job simply and easily. The single battery lasts quite a while. |
Impressive product!

| I am the kind of guy who researches a lot before buying anything, and since I needed a trimmer for the first time, started reading up some reviews. This one had the absolute best reviews, and the price was great too! Bought this after reading up reviews for a week(Dont want to bloody up my nose after all!) and its a really good product. Cuts the hair close, doesnt cut anything else:d..The nose feels raw after using this, which I guess means its doing a good job of cutting the hair. You need to clean up your nose after a trim(the cut hair tends to stick inside) but thats a minor irritant. Does its job well, and for the price, its a great product! Looks like I need to get a Panasonic Shaver too now. |
So far, so good

I bought this for my husband, and his first statement was that he didn't know why anyone would say it hurts. Now, I haven't used it myself (and probably won't since it's been in his nose...), but he did say as long as you're not jamming it up your nose, he can't see how it would hurt.
With that said, this product did its job and did it well. He's pleased, and with that, I'd say it's a recommended item. |
Better than expected

| This groomer has been great. It hasn't nicked me or pulled at my hairs. It dosn't vibrate and create an uncomfortable feeling inside you nose. And it dosn't just trim you hair, it will compleatly clean out all the nostral hairs in you outer cavity. I can now breath clearer and my nose dosn't itch. |
You gotta get this one!

| I got so tired of getting nicked and cut with my old one (and it still didn't do the job effectively) that I thought I would try this one. What a gem!!! Simple to use and works great. Gets rid of that unsightly noae and ear hair in a few minutes with no nicks, cuts, scrapes! Would recommend this to everyone. |
Wonderful

| What a terrific little product! The ER411NC is a compact little groomer that does what you want it to do quickly and painlessly. The blades are sharp, but never bind or hurt. The cap fits snugly and includes air holes on top (the unit is immersible, so this allows it to dry). The cap also keeps the switch from accidentally turning on and running the battery down if it gets bounced around in your luggage or a drawer. As I get older, hair seems to pop out everywhere (except the top of my head ;-), and this little tool keeps it trimmed better than any shaver can. I'm not prone to giving out 5 stars, but I truly consider this Panasonic to be perfect in every way! |
It's a keeper!

Getting Old?

| I hate getting old. The hair on my head is shedding like a St. Bernard drools, but the hair in my nose and ears grows faster than unwanted weeds in my garden. I have tried scissors, tweezers, and my razor all with varying degrees of success, blood and pain. This invention has solved all my problems. I no longer look like a scarecrow with straw coming out of my nose and ears. I no longer cut myself, and I don't bleed all over the place. This item works without pain, and is fast and easy to use. Highly reccomended. |
good grooming necessity

| I brought it for myself due to it was under the gold box sale, and the prior grooming object was barbaric and hurt from pulling the nasal hair. This doesn't pull the hair. It cuts the hair no pain involved at all I was so impressed with it. I bought 2 more for family members. it is awesome and only one battery and it can be immerse in water. Now I look forward to my hair growing :) and knowing I will look my best |
A fabulous device.

Let's face it, men of a certain age start to find the need for regular mowing of bits of our faces that previously needed none.
The problem is the prospect of sticking conventional trimming devices up ones nose or down ones ears, ranks anywhere between terrifying and psychotic! Scissors up the nose? no way and the prospect of tweezing, jeeeeesh!!
Then I found this, a buzzy little friend with a delicate head and no visible blades nor any which could harm skin but get them near tufty and furry facial cavities and they are back to their hairless days in no time. With this I can trim in minutes and no longer have to fear looking like a scarry guy who is going mouldy. One tip I would offer, after trimming your nose hairs thoroughly, blow your nose well to do what your barber does with the old neck brush! |
Another happy customer

| I received my Panasonic ER411 today and the seconds I stick it into my nose and hear the trimming noise I know i have a winner. I have try the other sub $$ products I got at the retail store and they just couldn't do a 'clean' job. I have small nose holes but the size fits in just fine. I orignially bought it only for my nose hair because I do not have ear hair that I know of. Out of curiosity I put it in my ears and to my surprise, the trimming noise starts and took out the ear hair that I didn't know about. It feels good when sometimes you award yourself with these little life helpers. |

| I don't have lot of nose hair, but purchased it anyway and it works great. I sneeze a lot at the time of using it because of tingling sensation it creates when trimming the hair. Overall a great product and would highly recommend it. |

| I never thought I had a need for a hair trimmer of any sort.. I've never seen hair in my ears and I have a full mustache that blends in right up to my nostrils.. However, after shaving my mustache off, I noticed my nose hair was a little longer than I'd expect.. I read the review for this product on Amazon and wondered how so many customers could speak so highly of a nose hair trimmer.. That was until I received mine today and put a single AA battery into it, turned it on and began to use it in less than two minutes from its arrival.. This has to be the most effective means of getting rid of your unwanted nose/ear hair that's actually fun, safe and semi-enjoyable (for the tickling effect).. If you're hairs are going astray and if you're having a bit more of a difficult time breathing than normal, try this product out.. You will NOT be dissatisfied.. |
