Product Reviews of Philips Norelco NT9110 Precision Nose and Ear Trimmer
Product Review: Very poor connections
Summary: 1 Stars
Even with a new (tested) battery, it will work (maybe). I have been a happy Norelco user for about forty years. I purchased this trimmer right after the Arcitec razor that I have since retired as my old one was much better. (closer shaves, better on the neck and around the ears)
Both of these items are now laying on a closet shelf.
I would hope with Norelco's capabilities that these items will be improved and restore my confidence.

I am on my 2nd trimmer. The first one stopped working on my second attempt to use. I called Philips Norelco customer service line and they sent out a replacement one ASAP all postage paid. This device is very easy to use but you must use in front of magnified mirror as it takes several attempts before all hairs actually get trimmed.Product Review: Great trimmer - Norelco NT9110
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using a Panasonic which worked OK, but I couldn't get at all the hairs in my ears, even my nose, and mine grow in a way that tickle me so they are very annoying--plus my eyebrows. I would never have thought of trimming one's eyebrows, but this thing is great. I've only had it for a day and if I breaks I'll return it for a new one. I don't see how anything like this could be any better. It really works well. Far superior to what I was using. The trimmer's angle is also a great design feature.Product Review: The Perfect Mower for a Man's Ears and Nose
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know of anyone who enjoys trimming the hair in their ears and nose. The task is made more daunting by a market full of underpowered, barely useful powered trimmers. Over the years I have purchased many battery powered nose and ear hair trimmers, most of which end up in the garbage within a year or less. I have tried trimmers from Remington, Conair, Wahl and Panasonic. One had a light and one even had a vacuum, and most of them were wet/dry devices that would be rinsed out with water. All seemed like a good purchase at the time but all of them had the same problem: NOT ENOUGH POWER.
Considering that most of these small trimmers are powered by a single AA battery, the lack of power only makes sense. After all, a single AA battery only provides 1.5 volts of power. Another annoying problem is that most of these devices would not maintain a consistent blade speed. I would find that when first turned on the units would sound fine but as soon as I started to cut the motor would start slowing way down and would begin fluctuating between faster and slower speeds. Of course slower blade speed leads to the potential of hairs getting caught, causing the discomfort of pulling. I can honestly tell you that having your nose hairs pulled is extremely unpleasant. Even though it rarely made a difference, I regularly installed new batteries in hopes that the trimmers would provide more power and fast enough blade speed to prevent pulling the hairs in my nose and ears. Eventually I just gave up and threw the device away and would buy a different model.
Recently I decided to give the Philips Norelco NT9110 Precision Nose and Ear Trimmer a try. The patented tube shave technology promises "no pulling and prevents nicks and cuts." I also liked the looks of the angled head, which claims to give better reach and control. The Norelco NT9110 also doubles as an eyebrow trimmer, which was also an intriguing feature to me. The cost of this trimmer on Amazon is very low so I decided to give it a try.
I received my order within a couple of days and eagerly tore into the packaging to retrieve my new trimmer. Of course in was incased in one of those clamshell cases, which took me no less than 5 minutes to cut and tear open. I HATE those clamshell cases and wish manufacturers would develop a new way of packaging their products! Anyway, I installed the included AA battery and switched the trimmer on. It came to life with a soft hum and I began the task of mowing the hair in my ears and nose. The blade speed remained consistent and there was no pulling discomfort at all. Cleaning the blade under running water is an effortless task. I then placed one of the eyebrow combs on the blade-head and trimmed my eyebrows, which provided satisfactory results.
I have been using this Norelco trimmer now for a couple of weeks and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The NT9110 gives a close cut, provides adequate power and consistent blade speed, and causes no discomfort whatsoever. I also find that the angled tube shaped cutter head is easy to maneuver and doesn't cause as much of a tickling sensation in the nose as the typical rotary trimmers do. This is by far the best nose and ear hair trimmer that I have used and I hope it continues to provide great service for many months or years to come. I am concerned because several other reviewers have stated that their Norelco NT9110 died after only a few weeks of use. I feel that it is extremely important that the owner cleans the device after each use, as the tube shaped cutter is small, and trapped hairs in the cutter assembly could easily cause the blade system to jam. I also recommend placing a drop of blade oil (not included with this trimmer) on the cutter assembly every now and then, to keep it properly lubricated. I think that any moving parts, when rinsed in water, should be lubricated with a light oil to keep the parts moving freely. However, Norelco does not require this or even suggest it in the owner's manual. It is just my personal suggestion. So far I am extremely pleased with the Philips Norelco NT9110 Precision Nose and Ear Trimmer and would highly recommend it to all men looking for a powerful, battery operated trimmer. I will provide an update to this review if my trimmer fails or begins working with less satisfying results in the future.
