[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this trimmer free from Braun to evaluate. When I first took it out of the package, it was very easy to install the provided AA battery. As I held it in my hand, it felt very solidly built. The top cover seemed secure. The power switch felt solid as I turned it on, but seemed just a little stiff to turn off, although that is a minor fault. I first tried on my ears, but I felt nothing at all. I don't think I have enough ear hair to warrant using this there. Next I tried my nose hair. The trimmer was rather quiet and not too buzzy. I could hear it trimming my nose hairs but I didn't FEEL them being trimmed. I felt no tugging or pulling at all. It was very comfortable. I was impressed with how easy it was to use. Finally, the trimmer head comes off easily for cleaning. I cleaned it simply by running it under the faucet. Overall, I like this trimmer. I love that I cannot feel any discomfort when trimming my nose hairs. No tugging and no pulling at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Havin gone through many a different tactics to try to trim nose hair with, I have finally found one I can settle on. Upon opening the pacage to the Braun nose and ear trimmer I could just feel a difference. With in a minute the battery (included) was in and I was trimming away. No pulling or discomfort was felt while in use. It got a close enough trim that I still haven't had to use it again 5 days later. Would highly recomend

No more nose hair!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I received my free Braun Exact Series Ear & Nose trimmer I had to try it out. Comes with batteries so it's ready to go as soon as you get if. Right away you you notice its a nice size and fits well in your hand. Trimmers I have used in the past are flimsy and don't last long. The construction on this is better. It has a cap for safety and to keep out dust. I used it on my nose first. It quickly did the job. All the hair gone in a matter of seconds. Absolutely no pinching,pulling,cuts,or scrapes. 100% pain free! After a quick rinse it was on to the ears. Although it did not Nick or cut me it didn't work very well on the fine hairs. I don't think I have enough ear hair. I really like this and will continue to use. This is a little more expensive than what I normally use but I think it will last longer so that makes it worth it.

I am switching to the Braun
on March 23, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in my 40s and have started to have to deal with hair in unwanted places. My beard is very thick compared to others but I think my nose and eat hair are about average for reference of my experience.
Braun provided the trimmer for review - thanks Braun - but that wouldn't make me toss the one I bought with my own money. I'm actually surprised by the results.
My initial thoughts were that I liked the packaging that I didn't have to butcher to open and the included battery was nice. I like that I can rinse this under the sink although I don't know if that is common or not. I didn't expect to rate the trimmer a 4 because the thing is built like a tank. I thought it looked huge which is why I own a trimmer that looks like a tiny electric razor on its side. I can see how this might be helpful if I were older because it's easier to hold and easier to flip on and off. But my personal preference is smaller.
Why am I going to use this one from now on then? Because I shaved one ear and one nostril with this and used my original trimmer on the others. When using it I felt a little less apprehensive about nicking myself which is nice. This razor is quite a bit less noisy and lower pitched which was nice for the eardrums. Neither tugged or pulled so I was going to stick with my tinier razor. Then I looked up my nose with well placed mirrors - and this one clipped closer and more completely. Now mind you, I cannot see my ears well and I'm not going to ask for opinions. But my fingers tell me the stubble is shorter with this whirling bladed trimmer. I'm convinced.
Final thoughts: No idea what the standard is, but this comes with a 2 year warranty which seems nice to boot. The device is made where it cannot go too deeply into the ear canal or nose. It wouldn't influence my purchase but it's an added benefit.

An Easy Trim

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After recieving the Exact Series Ear & Nose Trimmer from Braun I was curios to see how it measured up. I do not have a problem with ear hair, however, my nose hairs tend to protude. I was surprised at how easy the trimmer was to use and to disassemble. It quickly and efficienty trimmed my nose hairs. Unlike a past trimmer I have used, name unmentioned, I did not feel any pain or pull. After using, I took it apart, ran the cage under water and set it out to dry. Taking it apart took all of 20 seconds. Once dry it easily went back together. I was also impressed that the product came with a AA battery, many products are not that generous. The product felt sturdy and I believe it will last for a long time. Overall I liked the Trimmer.

Braun nose hair trimmer A+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free through bzzagent (thanks). Nifty little thing, nice and compact. About the size of two tubes of lipstick. Feels solid, nice and heavy. Easy to put in battery. Well polished cutting area. Easy to clean.
Works like a charm, tickles a little bit but nothing too special.
Does what it is supposed to without any unnecessary frills.

Trimmer use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first thought is how often you would use a trimmer like this. Sorry but it comes out as not as often as you would think. Oh it works well and it was nice of bzzagent to send it to me to test. My first time using it, my first reaction was to sneeze a number of times due to the vibrations affecting me. I can say it works and with a bit of moving around you well get the hairs, but I also have a bought mustash trimmer that well do this and more.
