PanasonicEar and Nose Hair Trimmer for Men with Vacuum Cleaning System, Powerful Motor and Dual-Edge Blades for Smoother Cutting, Wet/Dry – ER-GN70-K (Black)

Turned 58 and bought this as my old man birthday gift to myself. Got tired of plucking nose and ear hair (can lead to infections) so bought Panasonic’s top of the line trimmer.I also bought pricey lithium AAA batteries to reduce how often I have to swap out batteries. The battery cap requires a hard pull down to get past the rubber water tight ring.The serial number for registering is at the bottom where the batteries are. Panasonic requires a photo of the serial number and the purchase receipt which takes time, but they do give a generous 2 year warranty.Unit has good power and you can hear the hair getting cut but no pulling like other hair trimmers. The vibration is strong and may tickle but you can easily maneuver it so it doesn’t touch skin or press up against it to stop any awkwardness.I start in the ears, between the brows and up the nostrils. I then put some handsoap in my hands and run the trimmer to make suds and then open the water vent to let running water go through it. If you take apart the top, the and the trimming box take care of how it reassembles or it may fly apart. There is a definite lock turn on getting the silver trim box on/off. I used a white sharpie to make it more visible.Panasonic makes the best nose & hair trimmers so I don’t feel bad paying double what competitors charge for something that will last years.

I have had many nose hair trimmers in the past, electric and manual. This one runs smoother and is more powerful than all the others (well perhaps not as powerful as a manual trimmer - but does a better job!). Is very efficient and vacuum feature is good and avoids additional clean up (keeps wife/partner happy at least). I think the price is reasonable for a quality item that should last for a decent time. Some of the other electric nose trimmers I have brought over the years May work ok to start with but do not last long - and none of them do as good a job - that is one reason I turned to manual trimmers which work reasonably but are less convenient and can pull at hairs. This one is very pleasant and comfortable to use and easy to clean. Would have been nice if it came with a bag/storage case like some others (I have used one from an old trimmer which no longer works). One other feature which it is missing is eyebrow trimmers - which would be nice but not the main reason I brought this trimmer.Update: January 2024 - trimmer has stopped working. Looks fine, have changed batteries and tried different things to get it to work again with no success. A few times earlier I had to wiggle batteries around to get a good connection but that do not work this time. Had hoped would last longer but did a good job while working.

This thing uses regular batteries, not built-in rechargeable batteries. It's a lot safer and more pleasant to use than a pair of scissors for nose hair, produces a light vacuum when running to suck out all the cut hair from the nostril and has a mesh inside that catches the hair. The cutting head can also fully be disassembled down to the blades for sanitizing and cleaning. There is also a rinse hole in the cutting head that can be used to flush out the mesh filter by running the tap on it. However, it sounds terrible; always sounds like there's sand caught in the cutting head blades even when disassembled, cleaned, dried, lubricated with oil and reassembled. This is a high-value device but not a luxury device. It does its job well, is easy to keep clean, has replaceable batteries, is safe to use and definitely worth the money.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. Just finished grooming my nose hairs and no pain. Very simple to use and clean. Do read the instructions to gain the insights to proper operation. I have read in the manual the 2AAA batteries will last about 6 months. Lots of Power and the vacuum works great also as I did not find any hairs inside the unit while doing a quick clean. I am soooooo happy!

It's a great stuff as It's described. It clips nose hair and vacuum it smoothly. It is worthy of It's price.

This nose trimmer worked for a few days. Then the cutter head came off (by itself) when I put the cap on. I managed to get it back together once. And it worked for a few more days. Then the cutter head again came off, and nothing I tried could get it back together.It's going back. Major Fail, Panasonic.

I've a number of nose trimmers, including two from Panasonic (including this one). The main critiques range from not lasting very long (the $17 Panasonic), being too harsh, and not being effective at all (Manscaping). If there's one issue with each: very low power.This trimmer from Panasonic has a much more efficient motor, and yields smooth results. Yes, it's nearly twice as expensive as the competition, but it works faster and better.

at first it feels a little bare bones at this price point, being that it doesn't come with a case or extra accessories or batteries or anything, just a small brush to clean it with, that said there is a lot to like about this trimmer. The fact that it has a little vacuum compartment that sucks up most of the hair is awesome, it's also super easy to clean out, it's easy to remove the blade if you end up needing to replace it with a new one, it's also easy to open the vacuum compartment when needed, (though it takes a bit of finger dexterity), and because it's washable you can just rinse the inside of the blade area/vaccuum area out with water which is also awesome, in my use with this item I found that it did a really good job of allowing me to pinpoint the specific hairs I wanted to remove, and overall think this is a great item for fine detail shaving work, its awesome for nose hair, but it also works for eyebrows and touch up around the beard and so on. Good purchase overall, especially now that rechargeable AAA batteries are pretty common place, there's no real downside to this item.
