I have owned 6-8 MicroTouch trimmers over several years. One thing about them is that they work better than anything else I have ever tried. I use them mostly for nose hair. Nothing else even comes close, and I have tried several.

The downside is that they are cheaply made. This one appears to be better-made than the others. The switch seems a bit stronger. That was a huge problem on the others. The little latch that holds the head on is only slightly better than the earlier models, which tended to come loose.

This one truly does have a lot more power. The thing is, power was never a problem. You are cutting hair - not mowing weeds. The extra power may help this model stall less - also a big problem with previous models. But it is noisier. Not so that it's a problem, but definitely noisier.

I have only had this a few days, so I can't say whether it will die an early death. Overall, it feels better made. I still can't give it 5 stars, but I am glad I bought it. I just realized that I gave the earlier model 4 stars. I was just so happy to finally find something that worked, that I overlooked how cheaply it was made. I should go rate that one down to 3 because this one is clearly one star better. I just can't make this one 5.

Plus: This is the best nose hair trimmer I've ever used. It gets everything very quickly, with others I had to go over and over the same areas to get it all.

Minus: It stopped working after about a year. I replaced the battery but it still didn't run.

Overall, I'd say that *IF* these things last a year on average, I'll just buy a new one every year, because it's worth ten bucks a year to me to have a really effective trimmer. Still, it's disappointing--they could raise the price five bucks and put better-quality parts into it so it wouldn't fail after a year.

It works...but the blade gets dull quickly. It also is not that easy to get really close like the advertisement says.

Maybe I expected too much, but this trimmer worked OK the first time, then the
motor seemed to drag thereafter. New batteries didn't help. The thing barely
operates, and pulls rather than cuts. Would never buy this again, and cannot
recommend it to anyone else (even at the low price).

Great idea but the product is cheaply made. falls apart and cuts too much. A far cry from the benefits pointed out in their infomercial. Buyer beware and do not purchase.

A few years ago I started getting those Brezhnev eyebrows, mine were not as bad as his and I would get them trimmed by my barber till I started getting the Gorbachev scalp and had a diminishing reason to visit the barber so often not to mention the waiting time in the barber shop.

I got this item from the CVS pharmacy a few days ago at the spur of the moment. Normally I would not take the time to write a review but I have to tell you this is a five star item. For about $10.00 which is less than the price of one barber visit I was able to groom my self much better than the barber ever did.

It has an eyebrow attachment that works great. I trimmed the hair and the peach fuzz on and in my ears. It destroys the nose hair. I even trimmed the hair above my ears.

Dont wait to buy this till you see it in the store by chance like I did. This will be the best $10.00 you spend on yourself.

This product continues to be lauded in ads as the end all, be all of personal trimmers. I have had several before that I would trade this product for in a minute. This product is very unhandy and can be painful to use. Very disappointed after all the hype...........

I bought two of them. I tried to clean, the plastic is so brittle that the holding part broke so easily. Then poof. The device is useless. Money is gone. Regret buying it.

It's not the sharpest, but it sure gets in there. Forget those tubular nose hair cutters with the fan blades inside a cylinder, this is the BEST for nose hairs. Hairs won't get trapped in the cylinder and get it stuck. This one, you do have to brush the hairs away from the blade though. No 5 star because it takes a few swipes to get some hairs since the blades aren't so sharp.

This is a nice product for the money. The light is a big help. I found that if I use rechargeable batteries that the "extra life" is very useful. The blades on any of these lose their edge quickly so that touchups take a little longer each time but, still good with guard for staying trimmed and not bush hogged.
