4/10/10: I have purchased and am VERY HAPPY with the WAHL Ear, Nose, and Brow Wet/Dry Battery Trimmer, Model 41559-300N that I purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $19.99. I have used it once, and although it took a little more time to cut the nose hairs than my trusty Panasonic ER411 did (like one reviewer said: you have to go over the same area again and again sometimes to get all the very long hairs), it cut down to the base of the hair like I wanted/left just a tiny stub behind and did not painfully tug or yank any of my hairs. I have used it only once, but I am very happy with it and highly recommend it. The packaging indicates the product has a generous 30-day money back guarantee and a 3-year limited warranty.

I plan on updating this review after a few weeks/months to see how this product performs over time.

Junk. Clipper blade didn't work at all, and didn't seem the slightest bit sharp. Nose hair trimmer blade worked fine for a month or two, then got dull and began pulling terribly - a most unpleasant experience.

When I started to use it I felt tickles. The same day I started trying this sensation began to disappear and could use it just fine. Does the job just as expected and it even has a light that can come handy at certain times. Happy with this product.

This Wahl trimmer did not trim anything, no matter how hard I tried. Tossed it out. I'm going back to a Panasonic, which worked perfectly for 10 years before it stopped working, and only because I dropped it on the floor.

I was shocked how BADLY this worked. I bought it at CVS because of the brand name. Boy, was I wrong.

Out of the bubble pack, the light worked, but the blade did not turn at all. Even after changing the battery, no action whatsoever. After fiddling with the motor and the blade a bit, and some coarse language, I did get it to work. The performance, though, is feeble. I suspect that there is a vast difference between the quality and performance of the professional and the home products.

You might have better results with a pair of scissors.

This product works well but it quit working after just a few months. The construction of the battery contacts is rather flimsy.

I've had this one for a couple of years. The different heads are badly designed, very hard to switch them. The trimmer itself doesn't work well, you have to keep going over the same area over and over, and over and over. Lame. The little light is utterly useless, I have no idea who would ever use that. The eyebrow attachment is very hard to put on, but thankfully you'll never use it because it doesn't work at all as they advertise. Finally, the on/off switch is terribly designed, the mechanism shifted within the enclosure literally the first two weeks I got this, you can still turn it on and off but it's awkward.

FAIL.

I'm just amazed I've only now gotten a replacement and see what I've been missing.

Wahl seems to have gone slighlty down hill with this trimmer, and I'm going to rate them on the whole experiance.

The trimmer does beat my old one in certain respects, including being much quieter. The light seems useless, however. It has 3-removable heads and no place to store the other two, so what will happen, it will get lost in the drawer, for sure.

Getting the heads off was almost impossible. The directions that came with the product didn't mention it, at all. I poked. I prodded. I twisted.

So, off to 1-800 land. Listen to obnoxious music and the constant interupting obnoxious voice telling me to stay on the line, as I'm so important to them. Finally, I ask my question, "How do you get the %$#@$%$#!! thing off?" There's no place to grip it, and brother, you gotta grip it....<SNAP>....it finally comes off. All of the aggravation could have been avoided, had they just told how to remove it in the directions.

I seem to have to go over and over and over the same area, to remove hair....I don't know, maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just whining, but I am so used to Wahl's quality from yesterday.

After being disappointed with a Phillips trimmer that broke after a few uses, I purchased this brand/model as the replacement. The Phillips model seemed to trim better, but this one has LASTED so far. I like the light feature but the blade doesn't seem to trim very well (you have to keep going over and over the area before you see any results. Not sure if there is a trimmer out there that both works good and is dependable (doesn't break after a few uses)that is under $100.

this is probably one of the more durable trimmers i've tried. lasted a few months but now the blades are dull.
