This review is from: Panasonic ER-GN30-K Vortex Wet/dry Nose and Facial Hair Trimmer, Black (Health and Beauty)

This is the first time I've used a trimmer and I love it. Wasn't sure what to expect, whether it would hurt or if I would be sneezing all day. None of that happened. The trimmer is:

- very easy to set up
- requires a AA battery (not included)
- washable
- operates at an acceptable noise level (low humming sound)
- gets rid of hair with no pull or tuck feeling

I used this for my nose and ears and it worked great. The rounded cap on top has a blade on the inside, the blade is placed slightly lower than the tip of the cap. This helps avoid any skin tucks, making it completely safe to use. There is a small opening in the top cap that can be exposed by rotating the head of the trimmer. The opening here is what makes the trimmer washable, it lets water in to wash the blade and also drains it out.

Haven't tried other trimmers so I can't really compare but this one worked just fine and I'm sticking to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Wookie fighter, May 23, 2011

(What's this?)

Nature has a funny way of tormenting the male species as they age. It can be referred to as the "migrating hair" phenomena. This is when hair moves from where men want it - oh, say on their head - to where they don't really want it - say tufting out of their nose and ears. Consequently, as men age, they must groom certain areas to avoid looking like a bald Wookie.

Plucking is certainly one solution. But, watching a mature man tear up with every nose hair extracted is a pitiful site. Enter the Panasonic personal groomer. Trimming was never easier. This groomer is a powerful accessory to any mans trimming options.

First, this groomer is powerful enough to get the job done. My husband trimmed some substantial (salt and pepper might I add) nose hair with nary a wince. Please do not try to use rechargeable batteries, however, unless you want to endure some pulling (the trimmer actually stopped on one occasion with the rechargeable batteries - yuck!). The blades will not rotate fast enough for those tough nasal hairs without an alkaline battery. Eyebrows were easily mastered as well. Even trimming around the goatee was easily done. Cleaning the trimmer was easy too. It can be disassembled or ran under water for the cleaning process.

Other nice points: it has a cap for the cutting end and the battery is purported to last about a million years (really only two or three). In addition, it is fairly quiet. This is a nice feature for something one wants to stuff into their ears. The only reported drawback was a bit of a bite when pressing against his lips but holding it at a slight angle relieved this problem. All in all, a nice tool for taming a balding Wookie - and much cheaper than a light saber.

Years ago, I wanted a Panasonic and instead received a Remington as a gift. Hated but used it for years until finally I dropped it and broke the battery cover.

I was shocked to see the bad and mixed reviews on the other Panasonic trimmers. So, I went on Panasonic's site and looked at all the models. This one looks like a response to all of the negative reviews. I took a chance because there were no reviews about it on Amazon. Well, turns out it works GREAT. Very quiet and trims great. I was worried that it would be too large (as the photo appears), but it is actually small (the right size).
