 Now I can quit taking a scissors to my ear... Jul 27, 2002
I'm at that age folks... you know, when the hair stops growing on the top of my head, and instead, decides to grow in my ears! It's disgusting! Until now, I've been taking a small scissors and a couple of mirrors to try to trim those pesky things. There hasn't been too much blood shed, but the whole process is ridiculous. I went searching for one of these gadgets not knowing what to expect. I could never figure out how they worked. I mean, how do you get an electric razor that small? ...
I got it, popped the battery in, and was totally amazed! It's hard to describe, but if you can picture the top of your little finger -- that's the size of this rotary electric razor that spins in a circle. I thought it might "pull" the hairs out, but it doesn't. This gadget has changed my life! They ought to put me on a commercial, but I'd be too embarrassed. This thing should be in the medicine cabinet of every man over 40... I highly recommend this product and am surprised they aren't doing mass advertising for it. If more people knew about it, it could take off and be a staple for family use. Amazon.com shipping was flawless, the product professionally packages - overall a 5 star experience and something that will save me a ton of aggravation in future years. Now if I could just get the hair on the top of my head to grow back...

It's glorious! Oct 30, 2003
By chatchi
My Sasquatch-like nostrils were becoming unmanageable.
The unsightly nose hairs were so long they would sometimes get tangled, causing me extreme, eye-watering pain. During cold and flu season, it was not uncommon for me to get some "leftovers" stuck in my nose.
I needed something that could tame the beast that resided inside my nose.
I needed something that could cut through dense foliage, and not look back.
Who was up for the challenge? Not many.
I tried a number of different grooming tools, but none of them achieved the level of trimming that I desired. The "pretender groomers" (as I like to call them) would either yank out the hairs at an excruciatingly slow pace, or I would be left with stubble inside my nose. The ladies might like the "George Michael" 5 o'clock shadow, but nobody likes a 5 o'clock shadow in your nostrils.
After many failed attempts, I was convinced that there wasn't a tool available that could handle my rigorous grooming demands. I was ready to give up and resort to using my blunt, miniature scissors for the rest of my life.
And then I discovered the Panasonic Nose and Ear Hair Groomer.
This remarkable piece of equipment mows down everything in its path. No pain, minimal motor noise (for those seeking a discrete trim), and it works equally well in wet or dry conditions. So, worry not Seattle natives!
The one AA battery usually doesn't last long enough for me to complete my grooming ritual, but the 90-minute battery life should be more than sufficient for the rest of you. With an ergonomically designed stainless-steel blade that retains its sharpness, the Panasonic Nose and Ear Hair Groomer is the first and last personal groomer you will ever need.
However, I'm slightly disturbed by Amazon's option to buy it used.

 hurts a little but chops the targus Aug 02, 2003
By Ned K. Wynn

As men get older they get weirder looking, and one of the things that makes them look weirder and ickier is targus, that annnoying hair that crops up in their nostrils and ears. This little gem weed-whacks those hairs pretty well. And you can HEAR it chopping away which is kind of satisfying. There is a certain amount of pulling, it's not all that sharp, but the unit does in fact clean out the hair in your nostrils and takes, oh, three or four months off your age at least. I don't really think this thing is going to last more than two months tops, but it works for now. It really does get the nose hairs out. And quickly.
Addendum: I lost this little item in a housefire (since I wrote the above review). When I replaced it I did so with a Wahl thinking that the makers of my (excellent) hairclippers would certainly know how to make a high-quality targus-whacker. Well, the Wahl was much inferior; it made a nice enough whirring sound, but it simply didn't do the job. It seemed as if all it did was whirr prettily without doing the concommitant and necessary clipping. And then it just stopped working entirely. The battery ceased to make proper contact with the motor. So I tossed it and bought a new Panasonic ER411NC Nose and Ear Hair Groomer. It was like welcoming an old friend into the house.

An elegant solution to an embarrassing problem Jun 25, 2004

This device probably provides the easiest method for trimming long nasal hairs. It works quite well. This Panasonic will definitely trim your hair very quickly and efficiently. And it will certainly do so in a manner that appears much safer than using pointed scissors. However, do not expect it to be a completely comfortable experience. You may experience some hair pulling and slight tugging at times. In fairness, trimming nasal hairs will probably always be an awkward process.The device, like most Panasonic products, is made of good quality materials. The cover to the battery compartment seems to have a fairly good seal. The cutters seem to be made of stainless steel. All of that makes cleaning the unit very convenient. You can actually wash the unit under running water to clean it. A ventilated cover protects the cutters. The ventilation on the cap probably helps prevent moisture from building up on the cutters. The unit measures approximately five inches long. It requires one AA battery in order to function. I do not know how well this unit will function for its other purpose: trimming ear hairs. Thankfully, I do not suffer from that condition.

Nice May 26, 2003
I tried this device for the first time today and it worked splendidly. As the previous reviewer noted, you can hear when it's getting hair, which is helpful. It cleared my nose right out and there's a bit of stubble left but overall I'm amazed at how smooth and clean it is in there now. A lot better than plucking or shoving your regular razor up there (hey, some days you're desperate). One thing - use this device over a sink and clean your nose out with a damp tissue afterward to get all the hair. I think it tries to get the hair it cuts, but it doesn't seem to be as successful at that. No big deal though. I have a feeling that I'll soon wonder how I ever managed without this device.
