Customer Reviews of Panasonic ER411NC Nose and Ear Hair Groomer
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this product and felt compelled to write about it. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found it to be very well made. Yes, if you drop it, it will probably break...but what won't? Even though it is made of plastic, it appears to be very durable plastic. Some reviewers made it seem as if you look at this product wrong, it will crumble right before your eyes. Not so. Also, while I did notice that it pulled out a few hairs here and there, causing some slight discomfort, overall it worked MUCH better than I expected. The slight discomfort felt by a pulled out hair or two is well worth it. The end result is absolutely amazing. I have never used a device made especially for nose and ear hair removal, I have always used scissors or tweezers, which cause immense pain and can be dangerous. I would recommend this product 100% over other methods. The one drawback is how loud it is. It's a little too loud when putting it in your ear. I would like to see Panasonic maybe insulate it a little better. I would be willing to pay extra for that feature. But overall, I give it five stars and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants CLEAN AND NEAT nostrils and ears! A terrific product!Customer Review: An elegant solution to an embarrassing problem
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Finally, an ideal gift for Uncle Walter
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone has an Uncle Walter. Great sense of humor, helps you fix things, wears Aqua-Velva. You just love him to death, but he's got twigs growing out of his nose, and more hair IN his ears than around them.
Well, now you can help get that fella on the road to suave. Get him a Panasonic brand Nose and Ear Hair Groomer.
You see, I too had that problem. To solve it I tried the small, blunt scissors--Nope, too many nosebleeds. I even tried that German Spring Clamp thing--imagine an Epilady for your nose, yanking the hairs out by the roots! In desperation I nabbed a Panasonic. And I am VERY pleased with the results.
Helpful Hint: Always use a battery with some juice left in it. If you use a tired, half-drained one, the blades grind slower and the result is more like the Epilady thing.
The Panasonic is also very easy to clean. It has a nose-friendly design, works well to trim that Uni-brow and it evens out your mustache very nicely.
It may cost a few more bucks than those 'designer' groomers you see around, but in the long run you'll be happy with a well-designed tool that does the job well.
Customer Review: Trims So Close You'll Cry Like a Baby
Summary: 3 Stars
The Panasonic ER411NC groomer will give you a very clean trim in a short amount of time, but at the occasional cost of comfort.
Its greatest strength is the motor power, which will quickly take care of the most bristly of hairs. Unfortunately, this power causes the unit to vibrate in a way that seems tickly at best and painful at worst. After using an older Wahl for years, I had a lengthy adjustment period. Many mornings I still come away with involuntary tears streaming down my face afterward - ah, the price of vanity.
I've found a couple of tips to minimize this discomfort:
1. Wet the blades down before using the groomer. This seems to minimize the occasional tugs that really cause the pain.
2. Keep up with your grooming regularly. The ER411NC really penalizes you for letting things get out of hand. The best defense against discomfort is to use it regularly enough to keep hairs short to begin with.
All in all, it's been a worthwhile investment and it does the job, although it isn't recommended for those with sensitive skin or a touchy tear reflex.
Customer Review: Works good for what it's supposed to do ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This gadget is great, it cuts close and does the job efficiently and quietly with no cuts or pain. Do not try it for purposes other than grooming nose or ear hair. Ugh! And if someone gives this to you as a gift in front of a crowd of people, this person is not your friend, but even so, look in that mirror and if you need it, use it, do us all a favor and yourself most of all. This gadget does a much better job than scissors or other little shavers. This is state of the art. I am not a sasquatch so a battery lasts months for me.
Update January 2006- I am seeing a basic conflict in reviews posted after mine. Perhaps Panasonic has made its product cheaper. I haven't had any trouble at all with my unit. It works first time, every time, and I have only changed the AA battery Once since I have owned the machine. It does not hurt when the hairs are cut. It cuts the hair down, it does not pull it out. There may be a spate of defective products out there. I would suggest buying it at a place where there is a warranty in force. How about Sears where everything is guaranteed or your money refunded?
