An honest take, it is a manual two hand operation tool that simply does what it says. I've bought several of those cheap electric nose trimmers only for them to break consistently or get dull to the point of pulling hairs very early into use. First off, this product is constructed VERY well, if anything over engineered. If you notice it pull at all, you're likely turning it too slow as I admittedly have some thicker hairs and it still takes care of business. Secondly, you're likely not dedicating a lot of time to grooming your nose which is what this is for; quick trim and cleanup. Maybe before you go out you have some hairs that are unsightly and need something for pick up and go. I find that circumventing the rechargeable/battery trimmers that take up space and need replaced all the time with this small simple footprint of a device that you can easily pocket or travel with just lends to its reliability and ease of use. It's not complicated, it's not fancy, it's not some high power device for hollowing out your nose. It's for keeping you consistently clean at a minutes notice. And for me that's enough for a buy once and forget.

I am annoyed that I've spent so much on crappy trimmers and replacement batteries all these years while this inexpensive gem existed. It's awesome. So awesome that I wasn't sure it was working because it seemed far too easy. It's pretty much silent, trims really well, cleans easily and is small enough to travel with. It also works for ears without blasting ear drums. The blades are hefty and not just a cheap thin piece of rotating metal. But most importantly -- NO BATTERIES. It doesn't look easily sharpened, but it'll probably last many years and I may buy a second to keep tucked away just in case. For what it's worth (and not that you need them, this thing is intuitive to figure out) there are very clear English instructions on the back of the outer packaging it came in.

Really good. Cuts better than electric. Sadly it fell and bent. I used it only once before my accident while reaching for another thing. Back to electric because it was at $5. The new electric does not cut well and have problems turning on. Hahaha.

The size and thickness isn't a problem. It fits man-sized nostrils. It is a great value because it is well-made and easy to clean. This is the trimmer I use most for my ears because it is silent. I am happy with the product. Weight is what you would expect from a stainless steel trimmer. Some say it is difficult to use, but really it isn't. Yes, you have to hold it with one hand and turn it with the other, but I have no issues trimming my ear hair. Be sure to clean this after every use as it will have a ton of hair in it. Cleaning is simple, just back out the set screw and pull apart. Unscrew the brush from the end and clean. I knock the head on a table to get any hairs out. I'm happy with it.

I was wary of this gadget, but my electric machine was crappy, and this one looked good on Amazon.com. What I got was really interesting. It came in a small metal tin, worthy of the popular “un-boxing” type videos offered up on YouTube. Inside is a thin foam pad, under which is a much more dense kind of material, form fitted for the tool. At first glance, it is very nice. It feels hefty for its size, with steel and brass components. I’ve only used it the one time and it works well. It snagged on me once, but I think that was just operator error. It’s wicked easy to take apart the four pieces. Nice manual machine. I really like it. I do think that I’m going to put a dab of sewing machine oil on the moving bits, just to prevent wear and dulling (if it even is subject to it at all). I’m guessing that I won’t be needing to buy another for a very, very long time. It might seem silly that I’ve written such a long review for such a small item, but I felt is was needed.

I wanted to like this "old school" product but ended up returning it for several reasons: (1) the blades simply aren't sharp enough to do the job efficiently; I still had nose hairs showing after three tries; (2) the screw is not captive, as it should be in this application; it's ridiculously easy to unscrew it all the way and accidentally drop it into the bathroom sink and down the drain (ask me how I know); and (3) the included brush is utterly pointless; if you can unscrew the unit and rinse it off, why do you need a brush? It comes in a fancy-schmancy little jewel case, too, which is downright silly. What are we supposed to do with it, save it and store this thing in it? Are they kidding?! It should have been packaged in a disposable cardboard box. I gather from reading all these positive reviews that most of the younger consumers are not aware that manual nose hair trimmers like this one (except without the idiotic brush) were once commonly available in barber shops and drug stores, and sold for less than $5. They would last a few years and when the blades got dull, you'd throw them away and buy another one. Nowadays, as far as I know, this is the only one available, and it's made in Korea and ridiculously overpriced. I sent mine back (after I managed to retrieve the screw from my sink's goose-neck trap, which I had to disassemble) and bought the Amazon's Choice Zorami model 2024 battery-operated trimmer, which I've been reasonably happy with so far. (It's made in China, though, so who knows how long it'll last. Sigh.)

Product works well but the metal is low grade brass (if if is brass). Became discolored after just one use.

OK, this tool is fantastic. Way sleeker and better designed than any of the American products. I love that it does not require a battery or electricity. No risk of cutting yourself. I love that it comes in a little storage tin. This makes me want to research what other amazing Korean products I’ve been missing my whole life.
