Rating:  - Durable and works as advertised.
I've had the practically identical ER115 version (wet/dry washable) for many years, probably around 5 or 6. First off, this thing is built like a tank for what it is. Very solid plastic, and the movable parts like the cap for the battery and the on/off switch have a precision, quality feel that is usually absent with [..]grooming products. I've dropped it more times than I'd like to admit, and it there's not even a scratch on it, plus it works almost as well as when new. It's great for ear hair, which seems to grow faster the older I get...I find I use it at least 3-4 times a week to keep well-groomed. It also works for nose hair, which I guess is its main function, but I find that if the battery isn't really fresh, it slows down a bit and can pull hard on a hair instead of cutting it(ouch-but I've never drawn blood)...but then again, this thing IS about 6 years old and the blades have never been sharpened. I seem to recall that the manual that came with it suggested replacing the unit like after 2 years (anyone else read that?)but I've gotten a lot of use out of this little sucker!
Rating:  - Panasonic Nose Hair Trimmer
I've tried others; they didn't work. This Panasonic (ER112B) is different. It really works. It easily cuts off nose and ear hairs. It can get close to the hair's base without hurting the underlying skin. And it removes the hairs after they're cut with a mild vacuum action. Neat.
It has pretty good power for something that uses a battery; it doesn't slow down or require multiple passes.
The noise level is moderate - not silent, but not a racket either. You can use it in your ears without going deaf.
I was skeptical before I bought it, but am now convinced; it works.
I recommend this product.

My husband got one of these trimmers about 4 years ago and it finally broke. He has since purchased a couple different trimmers and was very disappointed in them. I went on line and started looking for yet another trimmer and found this one. Oh Happy Day! I purchased it and he is very happy again. I considered purchasing a couple of them in case he needs another one in the distant future!!
Rating: - This old stand by beats all of the expensive fancy models.
I've tried a lot of different nose/ear trimmer even the lighted Panasonic ER421KC trimmer. That one rips your hair out and runs out of batteries quickly. I did like the trimmers that they show on TV that have a little trimmer on one side but those get disgusting after using them for a while even if you wash them off and they bog down easily. I got fed up and bought this and I was VERY pleased. It is fast and powerful. They use to make a water proof version but I cant find it. Try this one you won't regret it.
Rating:  - Just barely works....too slow and frustrating.
I've had this gizmo for many years. It's far superior to the mechanical unit that I had before that didn't cut at all. This gizmo has worked fine and has never failed. However, it just won't cut the hair. I have to buzz and buzz and buzz to get the job done, which really only should take about 5 seconds per nostril.
