I bought this item after reading so many positive reviews. Well, I can tell you that this trimmer is not something anyone who wants a close trim should buy. The trimmer is quiet and does not snag hairs, but it also barely cuts any hair. You can only use the sides of the trimmer to trim instead of the top on so many other trimmers.I recommend the Hammacher Schlemmer "best nose hair trimmer." It only costs a few dollars more than this Wahl and it trims so much better.
