Why is it so hard to find a good nose trimmer?? about ten years ago I bought an excellent Panasonic brand trimmer-- a model they apparently no longer make- -but lost it a few years back. I bought this one thinking it would be comparable. Wow, was I wrong. not only did it not trim very effectively, it broke after only a few months. it's not worth the hassle of sending it back in for repair. steer clear of this one.
