Which trimmer for nose & ears

I have something very similar to this. I’ve been using for probably 15yrs and the brand has rubbed off of it and I can’t remember who made it. I use it for nose and outside ear hairs. Ear canal hairs are pulled by my wife. I think she enjoys a) the pain it causes me and b) telling me that the older I get the longer my ear hairs grow.
My dentist told me that during the pandemic they saw some of the longest nose hairs ever. People neglected trimming them because they always wore a mask. The dentist office was one place where the masks had to come off and the staff has to get up close to your face.
Found it:
Op which way did you decide?

I took your advice on Conair but ordered this one. I just used it for the first time and have never used an electric trimmer before, only scissors. The shape of the head makes a difference... Nostril BBS? No problem! hahaha
Easy to use, tug free and works perfectly, even better than I imagined. I was surprised how small it is and the battery goes in seemingly backwards but, as long as it lasts a while, its money well spent.

I went with the Panasonic ER-GN30 model. I'm practically addicted to it now
But I do wish it would shave closer inside my ear canals.
I like the idea of the manual Groomate XL, and I still might get it.
I have a few of these suggestions saved in my Amazon wishlist but am still using a rounded nose scissors for my nostrils and an Andis hair clippers with 00000 edging blades for my ears.
I used to be of a similar mind concerning the nose trimmers. That was until I picked up a Whal 9888. It comes with nose trimmer, plus other attachments, and makes the replaceable battery rotary trimmers irrelevant.
Wahl lithium ion+. Bought at Costco, so I could return it if I had any issues. I have not...
That’s the one I use. Works great for me. But I’ve had others before that worked really well too - can’t recall the brands.
I have to say that the electric nose/ear hair trimmer is the best invention in history. I think if you have a house, a bed, a chair and a nose/ear hair trimmer then your life is going to be just fine. Maybe a pair of trousers and some shoes as well.
I read a review or two that suggested they were too loud for trimming ear hair. I have no idea about the others but the one I bought is nearly silent.
Having never used one before, I had hoped it would be easy to use and comfortable. Just the thought of tugging makes my eyes water lol but yeah, I'm convinced. They work incredibly well. It is a bit of a strange sensation not having any hair in my nostrils after 55 years but, its a welcome change.

Fumbling about.
For the last several years I've been using the only half decent battery powered nose trimmer I've ever had. All of the sudden today it won't work. I went on Amazon to find a replacement, but they don't make the brand or exact model anymore. Or, maybe they do, but under another name.
I've tried a bunch of 'em. Most are total garbage. Besides I'm avoiding Chinese made products as much as I can.
Anyway, I decided to try the Groomate XL. On the assumption they're as good as many reviews indicate, I ordered from the company (not Amazon) the model with the leather pouch, brush, and screw on cap. It was more expensive than the basic model of course and is probably exactly the same in every respect in terms of its functional abilities. It looks a bit different, but I don't know if the size is the same or not. Anyway, it's on the way.
I like that it's stainless steel and American made and manually operated with a great guarantee. The reviews impressed me. This write up from a source I trust impressed me even more.
Assuming it actually works - and if it doesn't I'll return it - this will be the last nose trimmer I'll ever buy.
Thanks for telling me about the Groomate XL.
Happy shaves,
Jim
I have been using this for the last 3 years. Works very well. I bought mine at Target. Same device.

Please let us know if the Groom Mate shaves close enough for you.

I use my "Mirco Wet/Dry..." (works good...gets the job done), trimmer by Wahl (I bought at Walmart for $10US), for sensitive areas like my ears, nose, eyebrows (trimming), & other body grooming (man-scaping), areas as needed.

I Waxed The Badger.
For ears, mostly, no lie, a Knipex channel lock. I yank them out. I swear my ear hair grows faster than my head hair. It's faster, easier and more effective than the little nostril clipper.
