Panasonic ER430K Wet/Dry Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer with Vacuum Cleaning System (Battery Operated)

Seems to work ok and do the job.Update April 25. Overall pretty useless. Battery life short and does not trim nose and ear hair very well. Just proves first impressions not always useful.

I am getting one as a present for my brothers 65th birthday. Although it may be a bit of a jokey present ( we've always done that to each other ) these are extremely good at what they do. Having bought one for myself 2 years ago I think they are possibly the best nose and ear trimmers going and that is no joke. There are a lot of trimmers on the market that I've tried, which all did a poor job of things ( and ended up in the bin ), but this Panasonic ER-430 really does go to work on that unwanted nose and ear hair with astonishing precision. if you want to get something that actually does work ( as opposed to the many inefficient alternatives ) get this.Eamonn

Easily the least exciting thing I've ever reviewed. Having turned 40 last year and realising that hair is suddenly springing out of my nose like its desperate to escape, I finally relented and bought these clippers. They're not the first I've owned, but they seem like the best built and best in use. The clippers I've used previously have all been made of cheap plastic and have been quick to rip the hairs out of my nose after a few uses, becoming blunt and painful to use, but these seem to stay sharp and relatively tug-free, if not completely perfect. The vacuum feature in them is a bit of a gimmick, although I'm sure if you have massive bushes up your nostrils it would probably make a bit of a difference. Being washable is good as well. They're a bit more expensive than the cheaper brands, but you really do get what you pay for and these seem well made, good clippers.

Love the fact this is a self contained unit that runs on batteries so I don't have to keep charging it and the battery life is quite impresssive. What I don't like is trying to clean it, there's so many small nooks that are nigh impossible to get into and the worst part is the plastic bit that connects the razor with the motor isn't attached at all so if you're not careful and pull the cap off the empty the hairs the plastic stem falls off and could get lost easily.

This arrived very promptly at 7:50am the following day. It trims very well, wet or dry. I’m impressed by the vacuuming which never dropped a hair. I can’t really speak about battery useage, having only had it a very short time, but suspect the vacuuming will deplete the battery a little more than a trimmer without it. I’m delighted with my purchase so far.

Utterly useless. Simply makes a whirring noise and achieves nothing. It neither cuts long nor short hairs. Design of these kinds of devices seems totally flawed.

Very good product

Good clippers
