Wahl Lighted Battery Nose Hair Trimmer for Men & Women. Painless, Easy to See Nose, Ear, and Eyebrow Trimming with Built in Light, Battery Included. – Model 3023283

I had a septoplasty and sinus work done done to resolve breathing problems and the surgeon recommended I buy a nose hair trimmer. I checked out the various trimmers and the Wahl seemed like a good bet, so I bought it. When I received it, I unpackaged it and found that the overall construction was surprisingly solid! I was expecting it to be flimsy and very plasticky, but really, the construction is fairly solid for what it is. The only criticism I have with the construction is the switch knob is a little cheap compared to the rest of the unit. The case consists of a combination of rubberized-coated plastic and what appears to be brushed stainless steel or aluminum. The cutting heads are changed by twisting the head counter-clockwise approximately 1/10 of a turn then lifting it, and there is an obvious firm detent holding it in place.When I first turned it on, the light seemed unimpressive. I thought it was going to be useless (but read on)I tried it immediately, since after the septum and sinus surgery I have been using small scissors to trim the nose hairs. I found that the trimmer cut the hairs very close and cleanup was a cinch. Also, at no point did I experience any pinching, scraping or any other sensations one might fear from sticking a rapidly spinning blade up one's nose, and the vibration was not enough to cause any pain whatsoever nor did it nick my septum - a concern since my septum is still a bit tender. Also, I was pleased to find that the light is actually perfectly-suited for helping guide the cutter in my nostrils, helping me to see any hairs I missed. My previous impression of the light is now not a concern.As far as the cutting heads go - the nose trimmer is fine. The eyebrow trimmer is another matter: the snap-on guide is a bit chintzy; it does not clamp on well, and seems poorly designed. The feature seems as though it is nothing more than an afterthought so the marketing folks could add another bullet point to the packaging. The trimmer itself seems fine - I usually leave my brows to my hairdresser, but I decided to try it out. It does what it is supposed to, but I could see someone losing the guide very easily.By the way when I opened it, I found that it came with an alkaline AA battery - a really thoughtful detail!As a nose trimmer, I am very pleased with it and rating it a 5, since the other features do not matter to me. As an eyebrow trimmer, I would give this unit a miss, unless you want to glue the trimming guide on.

The notches are so long I didn't think it would work, but it really does and you can hear it. When I no longer hear the extra sound for cutting, I stop using it. Almost 3 years and on the same battery that came with it (probably should change to a name brand?) . Of course I only use it 2 or 3 times a year for 3 or 4 minutes each, but that's all there is to trim. -- I once bought hand operated, that you squeeze, but that makes it turn, and I think they did almost nothing. Another reason I thought this wouldn't work. Glad I bought it anyhow.

I've had an an old Remington I've been using for like 7 or 8 years. I remember back then it was hard to find a battery operated nose/ear trimmer that worked on regular batteries. Anyhow, the Remington is too dull now so it was time to replace....I got this particular Wahl because it came with the light. And I often use a little flashlight to make sure I got all the "jungle trees" cleaned out. If you're a man over 40 you don't need that explained to you. This coming from a man who only needs to shave his face about twice a week, but needs ear and nose maintenance every other day. So anyways, I thought cool, a light right on the end of the chainsaw. But forget about it. The light is way too dim too be of any use. Hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.As a trimmer, this Wahl rocks! I hadn't realized just how dull the old Remington was until I used the Wahl. Nothing really special about the Wahl. It does work without any issues. The Remington never did. It had a problem staying on and often needs to be hit like an old crappy flashlight. Not the Wahl. Been a couple weeks and it's still cutting like a champ. It was about $10 from Amazon. Buy the one without the light if it's cheaper because the light really is useless. Both of the cutting ends work great.Oh and I really like how hard it is to turn on the switch. It takes some force. The Remington didn't and used to come on by itself when in my luggage. Try explaining that one in the airport security check line - buzzzzz. I've learned to remove the battery from the Remington or it'll be dead by the time I get anywhere.I'm keeping the Remington in my travel bag and the Wahl in the bathroom as my daily trimmer. For $10, can't beat it!

Perfect and good product. Thank you!

The machine is ok. Personally I don’t care for it as I was looking for a closer nose trim than what I get from this. Currently I’ve been using little scissors to cut nose hairs, but it isn’t the safest idea. Scissors do work so much better though. It doesn’t seem like this cuts well unless you have very long nose hairs, which I don’t, so it didn’t trim well where I needed it.It will probably work fine for others, just not me. Unfortunately I can’t return it because I waited too long as my nose hairs were growing to see how it would work (even though that was driving me crazy). Again, scissors were the answer.Maybe I can repurpose this trimmer so that it is useful to me.

Works great

The item was not what we expected based on description and did not function as we had hoped. Did work fine just not what we needed. Tried to return and there is not a way to do that. Tried to see if there was a way to contact seller and no options given. This is the first item we’ve ever bought from Amazon that we have had true issues returning. Disappointed for this reason.

Everything looks good but try to work it and put together seemed not to fit at all but would like my money back.Sincerely, Chad Blanton

Comprei para corte das sobrancelhas...uma pena não ter um ajuste...o "pente" que vem, deixa os pelos muito ralos. Mas, ainda assim, nota 10.

La compré para mi esposo. A diferencia de otras que había tenido, esta tiene un mecanismo que evita que algunos vellos se arranquen, y tiene un buen filo. La luz es un plus para ver dentro de la fosa nasal. Lleva casi un año usándola y hasta el momento continúa funcionando como el primer día. Solo la usa para los vellos de la nariz, así que de la función para recortar patilla y otros vellos no podría hablar.

Great for cleaning out the nose

really i was facing many problems in nose and ear now it cleans well and good without any pulling

The clipper rusts. This is the second wahl product to do this. Never again buying Wahl products
