Product Information

They’re the perfect solution to the seemingly unstoppable flow of embarrassing nose and ear hair, that left unattended, will run wild.

The on switch is something I like about Panasonic nose hair trimmers. It turns on and off smoothly but not easy enough for the nose hair trimmer to turn on by mistake while at the bottom of your bag. Now, nasal hair does serve an important purpose in the human body. It serves to filter foreign particles and pollutants from the air we breathe. A study found that increased nasal hair density can reduce the development of asthma, an inflammatory disease of the airways. So, if you’re at the stage now where your nostrils need extra help in remaining hairless, but you’re not sure which trimmer is tailored to you, read on and we’ll see you right.

Do you need to replace nose hair trimmer blades?

So why three stars? Where downsides are concerned, there are a few and it all comes down to the shape, maintenance and design. I find the ER430 to be overly heavy to hold if I take a fancy to try using the trimmer on other hairy areas like eye brows or side burns on my face. Although Panasonic claim that this is purely a nose and ear hair trimmer, the design alone of its pen style blade can remove hair precisely and cleanly. It is in use of removing ear hair (I only have a little) that I find the design to be bulky and heavy (I.e its secondary use that Panasonic claim this product is designed for). The Panasonic weighs nigh of 117grams compared to the 58grams of the Babyliss and 76grams with the Philips NT9110 - and all of those models are with single AA batteries fitted.

The only time we had difficulty with using this method to clean the nose hair trimmer was when we forgot to clean the trimmer immediately after using it. If you allow cut hairs or snotty bits to harden on the blade then you will have to take the trimmer apart to clean it.

The blade sits loose inside the cover and is shaped a little different to the blade you will find on most nose hair trimmers:What we like: Lots of extra functionality thanks to different attachments | Reasonably priced for the features you're getting Panasonic claims the ER-GN30-K lasts over up to 90 minutes on a single AA alkaline battery. We found that this number was in fact closer to 80 minutes. Whether we used lithium or Alkaline AA batteries, the 90 minute operation time just would not come.
