   My first trimmer was a Panasonic ER411NC. It was a very good trimmer, providing me with an elegant solution to a problem that most men start to have once they reach middle age: nasal hair. The Panasonic has a circular tip that has small, slit-like openings. Inside the tip is a spinning blade. The hair gets caught between the slits and the spinning blade. That is how it cuts. I wrote a review of that trimmer back in July of 2004 and gave it 4 stars.

   My second trimmer was another Panasonic, ER421KC. This one had a small LED light to help you see while trimming under your nose. I bought it to replace the ER411NC after it fell off the counter and damaged its blades. The ER421NC is very uncomfortable. Althought it uses the same blade design as the ER411NC, the motor seems to be weaker. It is easily stopped. The spinning blade sometimes cannot cut the hair that gets caught between the slits and itself. The hair can force the blades to stop spinning. It will be hard to remove without pulling the hair out. This is very uncomfortable, to say the least. It will bring tears to your eyes.

   I bought this Norelco (the subject of this review) to replace the second Panasonic. The design of the Norelco is different. It cannot be forced to stop by your hair. It uses the same cutting design as your sideburn and mustache trimmer. So far, it has proven itself to be comfortable. However, it does take longer and more effort to trim with the Norelco. You will have to make sure that the hairs that you want to trim are caught between the oscillating blades of the trimmer. And, since the blades are small, this could take a few minutes of your time. Whereas with the Panasonic, all you need do is stick the tip in your nose and move it from side to side. With the Norelco, you will have to be more deliberate. However, it is the most comfortable of the three. Plus, you can use the Norelco to trim your eyebrows, if you need that sort of thing. It is also the easiest to clean out of the three.

   I believe this will be a good trimmer for you, if you value comfort above any other consideration. This trimmer is waterproof and it can be washed with warm water.

   I bought one of these trimmers and found it trims nose hairs reasonably well. Not great, but okay. But after three or four uses I tried it one day and found it didn’t run anymore. Lifeless. So I returned it and Amazon sent me a replacement. The second one arrived, I used it once, and the second time I went to use it, it no longer ran. In between the two uses, it had done nothing but sit in the medicine cabinet. So, I rate this as the most undependable, unreliable product I have ever owned. Philips and Norelco are both good brands and it’s unfortunate that they’ve put their name on this product.

   Good Product
   This is really a good nose and ear trimmer. I’m very particular about trimming nose and ear hair. I used to use an old Norelco battery operated razor for about 20 years.

   I have tried them all and this relatively inexpensive product is the best by far. I believe the rotary style trimmers, like all of the Panasonics, have a blade clearance too great to give a close cut. This trimmer, on the other hand, cuts nearly as close as a conventional safety razor. Buy one. You will not be disapoppointed.

   one use only
   The product is poor. I have had two of them,(Phillips shipped the 2nd one with no problem). Trouble is, each of them worked only once, and I trashed the second one.

   Great Product But Has Quality Control Issues
   I think this is the best nose hair trimmer design I’ve ever used, and I’ve used several different types (rotary style, spatula style, scissors, etc).

   Great Trimmer for the price
   I bought this trimmer after falling for an infomercial’s false claims. A friend of mine recommended this trimmer.

   Norelco NT9110 nose & ear hair trimmer
   This is the BEST trimmer on the market! It has more power than the drugstore variety. The trim head will NOT nip or cut your skin.

    Absurd Packaging
    This product is fine. But the manufacturer is an idiot – they packaged it in hard plastic that was the most difficult package I have ever tried to open in my life (now 76 years)…

    Personal Trimmer
    Excellent product at a bargain price. A must for the over 50 male. Out performs other models/brands that I have used.

    Tips for Maintenance
    I’m on my second one of these, with #2 still running fine. After each use I wash the device’s cutting blades in warm water (lightly brushing the blades with a nail brush).

    No Problems
    I read a lot of the reviews for this before buying, and with that knowledge in hand I’ve had no problems.
