Conair NE152CS Ultimate Turbo Nose/Ear Trimmer

 (12 customer reviews)

One-battery trimmers simply not strong enough, was glad to find a two-batteries version. It has a perfect design which will attract many more naive surfers like me. Unfortunately it's not good for nose hair trimming. Problem is it makes electric-like unpleasant sensations when touches sensitive skin inside nose.
So much that it makes you scared using it ;-) It also doesn't cut well, doesn't reach inside, makes burning smell and overheated.

After the 1st one broke I bought the best one at Walmart and it did a poor job. I was going to try the best selling one on Amazon, but hey, I knew this one worked. It does take two batteries, perhaps that is why it is powerful and able to cut close. I do not use the 'tilt' feature. I use it only on my nose. Their is a problem with the battery cover sliding off when you operate the on/off switch if you are not gentle, but I still recommend this item. The smell it gives off no doubt is because of the high speed, powerful motor breaking in...both of mine had them when new. I am not concerned with how loud the device is...though if I was, I would try a battery free/manual version.The single...Read more
