Excellent Nose Strimmer, 12 May 2011

I had a Philips one of these that just stopped working, read the reviews it is quite a regular thing. So i thought i would try a different manufacturer. The Wahl doesnt feel as well made as my previous one it feels a bit light and cheap. Saying that it does work very well, after about 2 weeks it looks like i have a packet of old holborn hanging out of my nose. Get this baby going and its like a hot knife through butter. The eyebrow attachment has 2 settings 4mm and 2mm, on the 4mm seeting the guard doesnt stay on too well so be careful as i nearly shaved half my eyebrow off when it came off. If you put it on the 2mm setting it sits on a lot tighter, maybe just a bit of bad luck. So far i am very happy with my nose strimmer and if it last longer than 6 months like the Philips one then i will be over the moon

Attractive but feeble, 16 Nov. 2010

Bought this to replace a solid Panasonic wet and dry trimmer that packed in after a few years.This light, attractive but flimsy replacement by Wahl has three heads: The eyebrow head works a treat. The straight head is very narrow and seems to take a lot of time to do not very much. But the nasal trimmer has stopped working after about 4 goes. The cutter jams inside the nozzle, and there isn't enough battery power to whizz it round. Especially if you're trying to cut your nostril hair at the same time.Lots of great reviews on here it seems, unfortunately the product doesn't match up.Now deciding whether to return to Panasonic or - more likely - go with a manual one rather than battery.

Ok I suppose, but then it broke., 16 Feb. 2013

After having had a Phillips trimmer for about 3 years that was good on long hairs but was never able to get at the annoying short stubbly ones or very fine ones, I thought I'd take a chance on something else when one day it just stopped working. The package arrived in good time but straight away when I picked the trimmer up I could feel how light it was and when I switched it on the motor was so feeble it sounded more like a fly trapped in a glass so my initial expectations were not high. On using it the trimmer got rid of some annoying hairs but never did as good a job as my old Phillips on some of the finer ones. The attachments were fiddly to change around, and the plastic feel of the thing made me fear I could snap it at any moment. Then after only about a month I dropped it on the floor in the bathroom and it never worked again. My fault I know but these things should be able to cope with a bit of abuse surely. As someone with nose hair OCD I need a trimmer that removes all...
