Doesn't do its job.
I bought a Panasonic nose and ear hair trimmer some 6 years ago and was quite happy with it until it gave up its ghost. Upon ordering this new Panasonic ER430K ear and nose hair trimmer and using it for the first time, I have to agree with some of the other informed users: it's not doing its job! You really have to read the fine print on Panasonic's product description to learn that Panasonic changed the blade angle from 90 degrees to 60 degrees, presumably out of legal concerns because some idiots could sue Panasonic if they hurt themselves using the trimmer. The prior Panasonic devices, featuring a 90 degree blade/cutting angle were perfect for a close shave. This new, legally improved 60 degree arrangement does not cut/shave close enough and leaves 2 to 3 millimeter stubbles of hair in your nose and ears. No good. If I want to get rid of nose or ear hair, I want it gone, PERIOD, and not have stubbles remaining. If you're as perfectionist as I am, you will NOT want this "improved" Panasonic trimmer -- and, unfortunately, the way I understant it, this new blade/cutting angle applies to all Panasonic nose and ear hair trimmers. Amazon is amazing:) in its return policy -- and that's the way it should be. I got the full refund and am experimenting with other nose and ear hair trimmers. Actually, I just got a cheapo $9 Conair trimmer at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and it seems to be doing its job quite nicely. However, I will reserve my final verdict until another trim.
