Customer Reviews of Panasonic ER411NC Nose and Ear Hair Groomer
Customer Review: Finally, a groomer that actually GROOMS! A++
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy with this Panasonic ER411 trimmer. After plucking and many other painful procedures, I gave up on these little trimmers because my previous one was WORTHLESS. I looked at Amazon and saw the wonderful reviews for this trimmer and resorted it as my last bet. I went to Target and found it, bought it for $19.99, and it works great! This is not just a tool for men, I'm a woman and I use it for the original purpose: nose and ear, but also eyebrows, upper lip, chin, cheeks, etc. I'm Greek and can not help my hairy genes, but this little trimmer works WELL and hasn't upset me yet. Much better than shaving, tweezing, plucking, depilatories, etc! You can basically use it anywhere on your face like I do, but I do not suggest using it on other parts of the body, like your chest, stomach, etc. In those areas, it pulls the hair and is quite painful. On my face I haven't had any pain yet, like other reviews stated. Don't jam the thing up your nose or ear, you'll be asking for it. Just use it properly and it'll give you great results.
You may have to rinse your nose out because the tiny little cut hairs can be quite itchy. Other reviewers: please spare me the disgusting comments about your cleaning rituals. Sorry, we don't need to know everything!!
Last tip: If you see a stubborn piece of hair that the trimmer is trimming but not removing, gently guide the trimmer the OPPOSITE direction over the hair and you'll hear a louder noise that lets you know it GOT the hair finally.
All in all, a WONDERFUL trimmer, I have no complaints yet, I keep it in a drawer, I'm sure if you drop it you'll have problems, but isn't it that way with everything now? Just be careful and it'll last long. A+++!!
Enjoy your hairfreeness!
Customer Review: Just get one for this for yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
I had bought a low quality grommer from a different manufacturer a couple of months back and suffered from it - it would take me atleast 10 mins of grinding around my nostrils to remove all the hair follicles and even after that, I could still feel some hair inside - which I hate.
Disappointed with my earlier experience, I took my chance with this one - there are some negative reviews and some strong positive reviews.
With this one, I am pretty happy with the way it performs - just 2-3 mins and I have a clean feeling in my nostrils and ears.
Some of the negative reviews and my comments on it
* Too painful and yanks off sensitive hair - yes it does pain - but very very little. If you want zero pain, somebody needs to design a microprecision tool for this and would cost you nothing less than a grand.
* Too irritating - Yes, it is not a comfortable feeling to get something moving at high speed inside your nose and ears, it is just a matter of getting used to
* Breaks after a few months/malfunctioning - Well, I have some doubts here, if you guys have been immersing the whole thing into soap water and cleaning it. It is an electrical equipment and does needs some due care.
On the other side, these are low margin, low volume business for these companies and I would'nt be surprised if they put low quality parts into manufacturing this.
Overall, I am pretty satisfied this product.
Customer Review: Panasonic trimmer not as good as the older model but may need break-in.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchaed this trimmer to replace the old one that I dropped on it's tip. The original was excellent except that it was not drop resistant. The original never snagged and pulled and I was extremely fearful of the possibilty and was generally apprehensive with each use. When I dropped it and damaged the blade cone I new I would try to buy an exact replacement as this one had never "bitten" me. But when I tried to find a replacement there were of course multiple models to chose from. I picked the most expensive model(still around only twenty dollars) as it looked the most similar to the original and with the inside of my nose I won't skimp on price. If I could find one that cost $50 that I could be sure wouldn't cut me or yank out those hairs I would have bought that one. I had read some discouraging reviews about this model being a torture device but was stuck with trying it, as it was a Panasonic similar to my fine working original. I found that although this replacement is not as good as the original, a break-in period may prove to correct the problem of pulling. I believe that they have probably found a cheaper method of manufacture that leaves the blade and shearing edge of the cone less refined than the original, but hopefully will wear-in to provide a snag free instrument. The only other concern, as with the original, is that of dropping it on it's tip. If you do, it will be instant junk, and you will be in the market for a replacement and the possibly painful break-in period.
Customer Review: Now I can quit taking a scissors to my ear...
Summary: 5 Stars
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...
Customer Review: hurts a little but chops the targus
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
