Microtouch MAX Lighted Personal Trimmer

I've only used this a few times, but it definitely helps you reach the tough spots like the back of the head. It's excellent for trimming using just the clippers with no attachments, but I had some trouble using the attachments. First, they aren't labeled, so it's tough to compare them to regular clipper attachments (like no. 3 or no. 4 etc.). Second, my using them to cut my hair means I basically can use only one hand if I'm using bathroom sink mirrors since I have to lean backwards for a good view and I need my other hand to support myself against the counter. So when clipping my hair it's hard to get it to make good contact with the trimmer under the attachment. The hair tends to float on top of the attachment and not go through the slots and against the cutting portion of the tool. Using the attachments resulted in my hair being very short where the trimmer touches the head and to cut the hair longer where it met the attachment. That tends to make the hair very short, maybe shorter than you wanted, near the hair line and places nearer the hair line. I'm still learning how this thing works, so I will probably get better results as I figure it out. It's very easy to trim near the hair line, but it's hard to trim hair to the exact length you want away from the hairline. Overall, it works well - certainly better than using just scissors like I had been doing. But I wish the manual gave suggestions and pictures on how to use it with the attachments. The built in light went out, but it doesn't help you see better anyway, so that wasn't a problem.

I've had an earlier model which this updated version replaced. Love the new design, the attachments go on easier and more intuitively the the original model. A big change, the original model turned on/off by twisting the base -- which was problematic since if you turned it the wrong way or too far then the batter would fall out. The new model added a small switch to the side -- it still takes me a minute to find the switch (it could have been marked better or highlighted with a different color) -- but I like it more. Fairly quiet, and cuts the hairs right to the base.

It works pretty well as a nose hair trimmer. However, after a couple of uses the trimmer stops working. I realized you need to wipe the trimmer down with alcohol pad after every use otherwise the mucus from the nose jams the trimmer after it dries up. Imagine putting glue across the trimmer! The trimmer is not water-proof and the instructions had mentioned that it cannot be rinsed in water. Therefore, cleaning and maintaining it with alcohol wipes worked well so far! Had this for a few months. Let's see how it holds up overtime.

It's been four years since I bought this and it is the best trimmer I've bought.

EDIT: after using this for several months I want to report that it has stopped working a few times until I smacked it against the counter. Other times it sounds like it's really struggling just to operate, even when I'm not actually trimming hair with it. This has caused me to lose confidence in the longevity in this product and makes me wish I'd chosen the same cutting head style from a different manufacturer. This one seems underpowered. Original review: There are two basic designs for nose hair trimmers; this type and the more common trimmer with the barrel-shaped head and round hole at the end. That latter type is the one I've been using for the last five years. It was well-reviewed when I bought it on Amazon but I was never satisfied with the way it performed. I would have to push it in and out of my nose repeatedly, sometimes having to stab at hairs individually to get them in the way of the tiny circulating blade. To do a decent job took at least five minutes and inevitably I would later notice a big obvious hair that I'd somehow missed. I kept checking to make sure the battery was charged and the blade was clean because I had a hard time accepting how badly it operated considering how many positive reviews it had when I bought it. But I did finally accept, and then I start researching again on the internet, trying to find a better trimmer. Eventually I noticed trimmers with this differently designed cutting head and I read a bunch of reviews saying it performed much better than the older barrel type. I went ahead and bought this one and HOLY SMOKES, guys. This is a VASTLY SUPERIOR design. What used to take me 5 minutes and still left me with poor results now takes literally 30 seconds and the result is PERFECT. And out of the trimmers with this same head design, this one looked best to me because the cutting head is longer and thinner (easier to stick up your nose!) than some of the similar looking options, and because it has a little light at the end, and because it has a removable battery. Guys, I'm stupidly happy with this purchase, if you couldn't already tell. In fact, I hope my nose hair grows back quickly so I can use this trimmer again and feel so delighted to be rid of that useless piece of junk I've been jabbing up my nose for 5 years.

After only three uses, this "Max" version of the Microtouch trimmer stopped trimming. After two uses, the blade had slowed markedly but we were eventually able to get it moving again by applying lubricant. This was the second Microtouch trimmer that we purchased. The first was a "regular" model (not "Max") and it also failed after three uses - in fact, we bought the Max anticipating that it would perform more robustly than our first one had. Nope. We use our devices properly, and with care, on dry hair that is not thick, and with no exposure to water or dropping or any other sort of damage. Each was stored between uses with its clear plastic cap applied. We live in the continental US, with regular humidity, and so on. Batteries were fresh - we even tested them when we encountered these problems and they were at full charge. In summary, the items have been used under unremarkable and "regular" operating conditions. On the plus side, we enjoyed how the "nose" of the item is compact and easy to maneuver, and how the trimmer cuts well WHEN it is working. But those things don't do any good when the item stops working. So, in our experience, you might as well save some money and go for the cheaper Microtouch trimmer since, either way, you get only about three uses and then it conks out.

I love my this my persobal trimmer . Fits every Where and can trip mostly all sifties hair most of the place on face around ear & in nose .. like it and battery runs for long time and that mini light helps with it

I've been using this trimmer for a while now, and it works well. Very satisfied with it.

Great product, good price!

I have the original one of these which was very flimsy but this second one is much more robust, plus the start button is far better placed.
