I shouldn't have waited so long to buy this. I've been through several electric nose hair trimmers, including a Phillips beard trimmer with a nose trimming attachment (what a waste that thing was), and all of them were more of a spinning pair of tweezers that simply pulled out the hairs.I suppose my nose hairs are a bit more husky than most peoples'. It runs in the family. Anyway, I've been looking at this thing for a while thinking what a novel idea it was, but that it might not work too far beyond the novelty.Box opening revealed a tiny little thing that made me wonder how much dexterity it would require to use this it on my nose and ears. The answer is not much. You just move it around in small,

Ok, after all the hype and controversy (see discussion board on this product) about fake 5-five star reviews being put up by either this company, its employees or a marketing firm, it seems that the product can stand on its own merits without the phony one-shot reviews.The device is solidly made from metal and is about the size of a short pencil but a little bit broader. The device works by inserting the cutting mechanism into your nostril or ear and then rotating the knurled barrel clockwise and counter clockwise. After the first use it was amazing how thorough a job it did with unsightly nose hair. Since the device is made entirely out of stainless steel,

ABOUT MY OLD TRIMMERI used to use a rather inexpensive battery operated nose/ear hair trimmer. It was really underpowered -- the rotary blade would get stuck easily, and I was lucky just to get the blessed thing to turn on. Plus, I did not like having to deal with YABOD -- Yet Another Battery Operated Device. If it runs on batteries, they either have to be charged or replaced, and that's a nuisance -- the more YABODs you have, the bigger a nuisance it is. I've gone through a lot of cheap electric trimmers in my time (mostly for beards), and they just don't last.ABOUT MY NEW TRIMMERI was attracted to Groom Mate's Platinum XL because it is battery-free (not YABOD!) and manually powered (thus never underpowered).

I ordered this with some nervousness given some of the negative reviews, but I have been really pleased with the results. The device itself is only about 5-6 cm long and the end that goes in your nose/ear is about 0.5 cm wide. It is a 2-handed job to use, but I found it is easy to turn the base and move around at the same time. The first time I used it I just inserted it in my nostril and twisted the base and nothing happened. I then realised I needed to move it around (!) and, after experimenting, have found that if I slowly rub it around the inside of the nostril it will cut most of the hairs. I have also found that varying the angle of the device in my nostril helps,

I am completely satisfied with this product. I have used a motorized nose & ear hair trimmer before and tried using scissors. I find this device to be superior to both.I previously used some mainstream brand of electric ear/nose hair trimmer. I found that it annoyed me in many ways. First the thing heats up, which also makes the peculiar smell these things typically have(i guess from the lubricating oil) worse. Also it made a decent bit of noise. I was afraid that it was going to eat my face when I was using it.Using scissors was just a bad idea for me.. a few cuts later and I'm on Amazon looking for a replacement.The manual control of the device feels much more natural for me (better than sticking something electric making a loud WHIRRRRING noise inside my nose).

My long journey with trimming nose and ear hair is like most people. It seemed like a fruitless quest - until now!Tried the Panasonic electric trimmer years ago. Liked it for the most part, and it seemed to do a decent job. There were a couple of major caveats though.1. The tiny buzzing motor sounds like a revving V8 engine when the thing is in my ear. Definitely not a pleasant experience.2. It ate batteries like a hungry bear at a fish stand.3. Worse, when the battery ran low, it would yank on the nose hairs like an angry torturer.Have also done the trimming with a small set of scissors. Paranoia kept me from cutting myself. But,

If, like me, the mere thought of using anything mechanical to trim nose and ear hair is enough to make your eyes water and your nose run, then help is at hand.I bought this trimmer because I'm just plain fed-up with the agony of tweezers, but can't quite bring myself to admit that the problem is bad enough to warrant laser hair removal treatments. So, somewhere between the two lies this nifty little gadget which I bought on the strength of the other reviews.The first thing I did when it arrived was put it in a corner of the bathroom and ignore it for 2 months as the very look of it suggests excruciating agony in operation. Even the descriptions of how it contra-rotates put me off.Eventually,

I do a lot of research and reading of reviews before purchasing anything for the first time sight unseen (Internet). Despite the overwhelming amount of positive reviews, I was still concerned over the negative reviews. It took me a couple of months to bite but I am glad that I did finally bite...There is nothing wrong with this product or design.I have been looking for one of these twist type nose hair trimmers for 20 years or so; my father had one similar long ago, as I get older and more of his genetics are unlocked in me, I recognize more now than ever the need for this thing. About ten years ago, I purchased one of the single hand pinch types, I did not use it long as it grabbed and ripped hairs out on a regular basis.

With so many other positive reviews, mine is probably not required. But I was compelled considering the impressive performance of this trimmer.To be honest, I ordered it without reading the description carefully and assumed it used a small battery. I liked its compact yet heavy-duty stainless appearance. I was so disappointed when I first opened the package, but that was quickly dispersed when I tried it out.I have owned battery powered trimmers. Each was purchased after much research and comparison - only to achieve the same "ho-hum" capability.It seemed that none trimmed close enough to suit me, as if trimmer designs were so paranoid about nicking your skin,

I'm so glad I bought this! I was looking at electric trimmers and just happened to stumble upon a manual trimmer. I thought "oh yes, no having to buy expensive batteries all the time for this!". The trimmer is very solid, feels pretty heavy for its size. I really like the fact that it is stainless and will not rust anytime in the future. I don't know how everyone else uses these but I start twisting the device before I even put it in my nostril. As I ease it up in the nostril while twisting and turning, I feel absolutely nothing. At first, I wondered if it was even doing anything! A quick visual inspection of the nostril showed all of the lower hairs were cut very short!

What a marvelous idea - non-battery operated nose-hair trimmer, had I known, I would have bought this years ago. This is the 3rd nose-hair trimmer I've purchased, the very first one was a battery operated one that got wet one day and the battery leaked into the device and corroded it. The second one I still have, but I've already replaced one corroded battery and I have to shake it or tap it on the counter to sometimes get the blades to start turning.So now comes the Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose hair trimmer - a finely built precision instrument, just twist quickly back and forth and it works great. The first time I used it, I was shocked by how much it cut and the included brush was pretty handy,

Now that I'm in my early thirties, I've spent the last couple of years desperately trying to ignore a number of physical changes that come with age; grey hairs appearing, my belly getting rounder and last but not least hairs sprouting out of my nose that I swear are getting more numerous as the months pass by...(at least the hair in my ears is behaving itself so far). Anyway, onto the product itself. Without wanting to sound to enthusiastic about the 'Groom Mate' (it only trims nose hair after all), if you're looking for a nose hair trimmer that does exactly what it says on the tin then this is the one for you - and no need for batteries which is definitely a bonus.

-- Very good build quality. It's supposed to be built from high quality steel and you wouldn't have any reason to doubt it when you get your hands on it.-- Very good design ensures painless hair removal. I've used it to trim my nasal hair and wondered if any hair was being removed as I felt absolutely no pain. However, a quick check at the mirror and the trimmer blades gave me confirmation of the amazing result I wanted - all those annoying hairs removed.-- Extremely simple to use. The Groom Mate comprises 2 sections (bottom cylinder and top cylinder with blades). Simply insert the Groom Mate into your nostril, hold the top section with one hand and then rotate the bottom section in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions with your other hand.

Like a lot of reviewers, I've tried countless electric nose clippers.Despite a range of prices and designs, I noticed that they almost all relied on the same small, badly design part: the twin bladed plastic mounted cutter that sits precariously on the electric motor-driven prong. Regularly this would get jammed or require cleaning, and putting it back in was fiddly and eventually lead to it being damaged. I thought about buying a load of spare parts but basically got fed up with spending more time fiddling with the cutters than I did trimming nose hair. I'd given up on the single bladed designs long ago, as I was constantly damaging the lining of my nose!Instead,

I purchased this trimmer based on reviews I read and hopes of a quality product. When it came I was not disappointed. It functioned so well and smooth I felt I truly got a well made product. I left the trimmer on my granite dining table for my wife to see and when she opened it to look at it, she dropped it on the table and unfortunately slightly bent the cutting teeth on the outside of the XL. I was very disappointed. I wrote an e-mail to John Bellm, the president of Bei-PHR Systems. I explained the situation in detail and he wrote back in about an hour or two and told me he was sending me a replacement unit at no cost because there is a no questions asked, unconditional lifetime guarantee.
