Actually, my first Brookstone trimmer was taken from me (at least it disappeared from my grooming stuff) during a trip in some obscure country. So, this is the second one. I HAD to get it again; life's simply not the same without it!

A Quality Product that Works
By JVVerified Reviewer from Philadelphia area on 6/30/2008
Pros:
Close Shave, Easy to Use
Cons:
Cap hard to grip remove
Best Uses:

This really does the job; it's easy to hold and maneuver too. My only gripe is that the smooth tapered cap is difficult to grip and remove because it's a tight fit.

This is the only gift that I've bought for my dad that he really uses. All the feedback regarding its use are his comments. Also, he says that while it misses some hairs on the first go, another pass around always does the trick. I'm getting one for my boyfriend's birthday. A great buy!

Works well - good quality
By RubyVerified Reviewer from Michigan on 1/11/2008
Pros:
Easy to clean, Easy To Use
Cons:
a little heavy
Best Uses:
husband's nose hair, Trimming
Describe Yourself:
Clean-Cut
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easier than using scissors for the nose hair and ear hair. Can't see in your own ear! It's a little heavier and thicker feeling in the hand than the last one we had, but it didn't last. This one may be better quality.

 
"A solid product"
By Man of LaMachiaVerified Reviewer from Boston, MA on 1/11/2008
Pros:
Easy To Use
Cons:
Removing the cap
Best Uses:
Trimming
Describe Yourself:
Clean Shaven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use the product about once a week. The trimmer works great both dry and in the shower. The power and how close ot trims hair are excellent. The one product design featrure I would suggest changing is the cap. Often it is difficult to remove the cap from the trimming head.

Best Uses:
None
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

The product is very inconvenient and difficult to use. You need to dig up your nose and go over areas mant times to make it work. A simple rounded edge scissor does the trick MUCH better. Don't waste your money!

Does the job
By sharkVerified Reviewer from San Jose, CA on 10/22/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Good Value
Cons:
Falls over easily
Best Uses:
Weekly use
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented, Value Oriented
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I use it weekly to trim nose hair but have found it of limited used for ear hair. Easy to clean and use and does a decent job for the price. Isn't stable upright (base too small) or lying down (it rolls around) so its easy to drop or potentially damage it or your toes with a fall. I don't really use the wet capabilities except for a quick cleaning under running water.

Blade is too far down to trim effectively. I would not but this product again, the worst part is that its not returnable.
