Wahl Wet/Dry Dual Head Trimmer #5545-506

Had one in each before works great

After about 4 months of use, I've been very pleased with this trimmer. Most important (to me), the rotary head cuts painlessly when trimming nose hair. That's a very desirable attribute, as you know if you've ever owned an inferior trimmer that PULLS hairs out (ouch)! This cuts very cleanly and thoroughly.While plain looking, the trimmer and attachments appear of good quality, especially considering the sub-$10 price. The cover and heads fit tightly, yet attach/detach easily. It's also very easy to clean and has a 2 year warranty. Battery life is a tad shorter than I expected, my first battery lasted 3 months; I don't mind as long as it cuts well.So far, this has been the best rotary-head trimmer I've owned, and at an almost unbeatable price! If I broke or lost it, I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

I used one of these for several years and was very happy with it. after a couple of years the motor started struggling a bit but it was no problem. It worked great and I was very happy. Until the day I dropped it and broke it into 4 different pieces... After reading reviews on Amazon I bought the Panasonic ER-GN30-K. The Panasonic has a better built, except it had one very major deal breaker problem. It pulls and gave me watery eyes after first stop. So I searched and searched until I found this unit. The 2nd one works just as good as the first one I owned.Couple of things which might help you in your decision:The cutter mechanism on this one is a straight cylinder with fast rotating blades. Many other ear and nose hair cutters (like the Panasonic ER-GN30-K) have a dome shape cutting mechanism. the dome shape might work great on finer hair as well as on ear hair. But I have thick and coarse nasal hair and I found that the cylinder type cutting mechanism of this unit provides a much faster, easier, pleasant, no pain experience.Partially becuase the blades of this rotate faster, and the end of the cutting mechanism is fully open, hairs have no place to go other than to end up under the cutting blades. With the Panasonic ER-GN30-K it took many more more painful tries to accomplish the same task as the cutting head either did not end up getting the hairs or pull them... So if you too have coarse hear I recommend theWahl 5567-200.

and found that they would clog up and stop. I was constantly taking the head off but this one works like a charm and I think it's cheaper than brand "P". Only one draw back and it's not minor. The on/off switch was designed by a gorilla. If you put your thumb on the slide lever and push - good luck. The one I got can't be pushed on if you put downward pressure (pressure towards the barrel) on it. You have to put your thumb at the very bottom of the switch and push up. It works with one hand okay as long as you don't do the obvious. (would give it five stars if it worked the way slide switches normally work).

My friend had exactly the same item and suddenly it stopped working.

I can see from other reviews why they complained about the trimmer breaking down. When I used it I could feel it getting kind of warm than I remembered about the reviews so I let it cool for a minute and continued to use it on the nostril. This is the first time I ever had to use a trimmer and i'm glad I did and found this one at this amazing price. The battery cover does slip a little it's kind of flimsy but then i remember how much I payed and it does what is supposed to do I stop complaining.

OK, I know the subject is a little gross and one we guys would rather not talk about, but, hey, those little hairs in the nose and ears begin to take over once we get to a certain age, and eventually scissors just don't cut it (har har). If you're looking for a "personal trimmer" (nice euphemism), this is a great one. Two heads, one for trimming and one for more close work (nice for eyebrows, for instance). Both are detachable so they can be rinsed, though the whole gizmo stays pretty clean in use (well, mine does, I can't vouch for your personal hygiene). Highly recommended!

This is the best trimmer I've used which does not hurt or tickle me. I haven't used the trimmer, but the nose hair round attachment is awesome. I'm not going to use the other attachment as i have no use for it. For under $10 this is really the thing. I would buy it again if i lost it or broke it. Uses 1 AA battery. It does not hurt or pull the nose hair at all...!!! I'm always scared to put trimmers up my nose cos it hurts or pulls the hair. This does not. My husband loves it too.
