Product Reviews of Philips Norelco NT9110 Precision Nose and Ear Trimmer
Product Review: Best trimmer I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
The older I get, the less hair I have where I want it (head)and the more it shows up where unwanted (nose and ears) I've tried those little mechanical trimmers with rotating blades which never seem to work well to begin with and eventually don't work at all. This trimmer actually trims close, is easy to use and generally works very well. Even the eyebrow trimming attachments seem to work well. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.Product Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This trimmer works well and is easy to clean. It is well made and a good value compared with less expensive devices that are easier to damage, harder to maintain, and don't work as well.Product Review: Clean it, clean it, clean it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Did I say that you should clean this?
This is a great trimmer. The best I've ever used.
As other reviewers have already said, you really need to clean this after each and every use, or it will jam up on you.
The eyebrow trimmer is great. The nose trimmer does a much better job than the other circular models, such as the Panasonic.
Keep it clean, and you'll be very happy!
Product Review: Comfortable Solution to an Embarrassing Problem
Summary: 4 Stars
My first trimmer was a Panasonic ER411NC. It was a very good trimmer, providing me with an elegant solution to a problem that most men start to have once they reach middle age: nasal hair. The Panasonic has a circular tip that has small, slit-like openings. Inside the tip is a spinning blade. The hair gets caught between the slits and the spinning blade. That is how it cuts. I wrote a review of that trimmer back in July of 2004 and gave it 4 stars.
My second trimmer was another Panasonic, ER421KC. This one had a small LED light to help you see while trimming under your nose. I bought it to replace the ER411NC after it fell off the counter and damaged its blades. The ER421NC is very uncomfortable. Althought it uses the same blade design as the ER411NC, the motor seems to be weaker. It is easily stopped. The spinning blade sometimes cannot cut the hair that gets caught between the slits and itself. The hair can force the blades to stop spinning. It will be hard to remove without pulling the hair out. This is very uncomfortable, to say the least. It will bring tears to your eyes.
I bought this Norelco (the subject of this review) to replace the second Panasonic. The design of the Norelco is different. It cannot be forced to stop by your hair. It uses the same cutting design as your sideburn and mustache trimmer. So far, it has proven itself to be comfortable. However, it does take longer and more effort to trim with the Norelco. You will have to make sure that the hairs that you want to trim are caught between the oscillating blades of the trimmer. And, since the blades are small, this could take a few minutes of your time. Whereas with the Panasonic, all you need do is stick the tip in your nose and move it from side to side. With the Norelco, you will have to be more deliberate. However, it is the most comfortable of the three. Plus, you can use the Norelco to trim your eyebrows, if you need that sort of thing. It is also the easiest to clean out of the three.
I believe this will be a good trimmer for you, if you value comfort above any other consideration. This trimmer is waterproof and it can be washed with warm water.
Product Review: Consistent product: 2nd one died after a few uses as did 1st
Summary: 1 Stars
This product could be perfect. It is shaped in a way that reaches inside the nose to cleanly clip the hairs. Worked great until one time - approximately after a month's use - it stopped working. New batteries did not help. I bought another one assuming the experience with #1 was a fluke. The second one lasted a week. It died - nothing I tried would make it run.
Too bad - seemed like a great design ... if you could get it to run.
