The Groom Mate Platinum XL nose & ear hair trimmer is our best selling battery-free trimmer. The vast majority of our customers agree that the Platinum XL is far superior to any battery operated model. We offer an unconditional lifetime warranty on the Platinum XL which simply means that you should never have to purchase another nose hair trimmer. The patented rotary cutting blades are guaranteed to never come in contact with the sensitive areas of your nostrils and your hairs are gently trimmed, not pulled like most of the battery models available. The Platinum XL nose hair trimmer is made from solid stainless steel and is guaranteed to never rust or corrode. Clean-up is easy; simply hold the Platinum XL under running water to rinse out the hairs or for more thorough cleaning simply remove the small set screw to remove the inner shaft. Operation of the Platinum XL nose hair trimmer is quite easy. Simply position the rotary blade end of the trimmer inside the nostril and twist the bottom portion of the trimmer in a gentle back and forth motion. Within seconds all protruding hairs are removed. The blades are guaranteed to never cut the sensitive lining of the nostril so it is possible to safely trim nose hair further into the nostril if desired. Remember, nose hair does serve many useful purposes such as keeping foreign matter from reaching your breathing passage and lungs. So, our suggestion is that you only trim nose hairs that are unsightly and use the Platinum XL for routine follow-up trimming. The Platinum XL nose hair trimmer is manufactured in the USA to very exacting standards. It includes an unconditional lifetime warranty and we guarantee that you will find it to be the best nose hair trimmer that you have ever used.

 The Platinum XL vs. the TrimIt ...And the Platinum XL Wins! July 21, 2007
Michael (Chatsworth, CA United States)
121 out of 123 found this review helpful
I was intrigued to try a non-battery operated nose/ear trimmer, and after speaking with the company, I decided to try the Platinum XL (U.S made two-handed model) and the TrimIt (Japanese made one-handed model)both sold by Groom Mate. Let me say that this company is very open to questions and really tried to make me happy with my purchase. I like that, and it is so rare in today's marketplace.
Both of the nose/ear trimmers arrived sealed and brand new. Both were better made than I expected, much better made; the Platinum XL was notably hefty and durable. Another rare find in today's world of cheap throw-away consumables.
I was fully expecting the Japanese made one-handed TrimIt model to wipe the floor with the two-handed XL, but I was wrong. Using two hands to twist and guide the XL made for a faster and closer nose trimming experience. Also, the tactile feel of using two hands made me feel more in control.
When I went to my ears, I feared that having to use two hands to use the XL trimmer would lead to a clumsy experience: That fear was unfounded. The Platinum XL works great on the ears, and I had no fear of nicking either.
The TrimIt works nice, but I often feel that I am just clacking along with no sense of how the job is going. To its credit, it is super comfortable to use on the ears.
It is true that the XL (and the TrimIt) require a little more time than the battery operated ones that I have used (those that actually cut hair), but the extra time spent was negligible. More important, I know I am using a quality machine when I am using either the Platinum XL or the TrimIt.
For the record, I have plenty of experience with battery operated nose/ear trimmers. I have used the Sharper Image battery trimmers and after the 2.0 they literally did not cut worth a darn. The 5.0 twirls the blade so fast that my eyes watered, and that's no joke...and no fun either. Besides, they break far too fast for a product as expensive as they are. The Remington model is decently made but is worthless for cutting nose hair (the side burn attachment is ok but it's not why I bought it!). The two Panasonic models I had recently bought were slower and cut good, but both broke within months of use...I was afraid to buy another! That's what brought me to these non-battery operated nose/ear trimmers.
As I stated earlier, both the XL and the TrimIt are amazingly well made; I fully expect them to last for years of use.
I never expected to be so into a nose/ear trimmer, and 20 years ago I would have laughed at the prospect of even needing one. Now, at 42, it's a weekly reality that I don't need to worry about--will my nose trimmer break, will the new model even cut, etc. Thanks to the Platinum XL, I know I now have a tool that I can rely on to do the job, so I don't have to worry about entering the world with any hints of embarrassment holding me back.
The Platinum XL is easily the best Nose/Ear trimmer I have ever used, and the TrimIt is worth your consideration if it suits your style.
I hope my review has helped you to make a decision on whether to buy a Groom Mate trimmer and the pros and cons of these two top of the line trimmer models.
All the Best, MLC
A litle awkward but effective - the best! October 2, 2007

A little awkward to hold when using on ears, but once you get used to it, it is great. Really works very well, trims the nostril and ear hair closely and without pain or pulling. I have tried lots of others and this is the best. You will get used to it, recommended above all others.
Best Things You Can Say About Nose Hair August 11, 2007
T. Sullivan (Los Angeles, CA USA)

Nose hair is one of those side effects of aging that no one seems willing to talk about, even though everyone notices it. Co-workers, bosses, clients and friends will tell you their secrets for dealing with almost every other matter, but not this one. Well, I've had it. I have ear and nose hair and I'm not going to take it anymore.
This thing just might be the solution. So far, it seems like it's got a good chance.
I received the Platinum XL at the same time as the Groom Mate Silver Wing Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer, and I must admit my disappointment with the Silver Wing (not very effective; comprised of metal blades and silver-painted plastic handles; looks like it's got a lifespan of a year or two, if I don't drop it in the sink first). But, the Platinum XL more than made up for it.
Once you hold this thing in your hand, you realize it could well be the last time you're ever going to buy a nose-hair trimmer, and, well, that's a shopping experience I can do without. It's metal, not plastic, with an adjustable tension screw and the most basic (yet ingenious) moving parts.
My only concern is how rust resistant it will prove to be, but only time will tell. So far, I'm very pleased. I expect that with proper care to keep it dry, there's no reason it shouldn't last me until I'm too old to see, or care about, the shrubbery sprouting out my ears.
Best Nose Job I've Ever Had! November 6, 2007
John Channer (New Orleans)

I can't believe that I'm writing a review on such a mundane device as a nose hair trimmer but here you go...
I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this marvelous, or should I say ingenious, little gizmo because for years I have been battling pesky nostril hairs with everything from scissors to tweezers to a few very poorly made battery or electric nose hair trimmers with varied results. Let's just say that when using any of these devices that I've managed to cut the inside of my nostril, bring tears to my eyes, and even pull nose hairs out by the roots. I even had a friend recommend hot waxing the inside of my nose to eliminate the hairs once and for all! Can you even imagine?
The Platinum XL nose hair trimmer is very solid and made of 100% stainless steel and feels very substantial even though it is only 2.6" in length. It has these very accurate rotating blades at the top of the trimmer that the manufacturer describes as rotating micro-scissors. To activate these blades all you have to do is to simply insert the trimmer partly into your nostril and rotate the bottom of the handle. You control the speed at which you trim your hairs and it is even guaranteed not to pull the hairs out like the battery-operated models all seem to do. I also like the fact that the blades are guaranteed to never dull. I had one of the "brand" name battery operated trimmers and the blades went completely dull after just a few uses and there was no way to replace them so in the trash it went.
This nose hair trimmer is made in the USA, has a lifetime warranty, is extremely easy to clean and is very compact. Also, I have to say that one of my pet peeves about doing business online is paying way too high shipping costs for relatively inexpensive items. This company, Groom Mate, didn't even charge me for shipping and I got my order in just 3 days! Great job. My nose is happy and so am I!
Cheers, John Channer.
Great find! Love this little trimmer!!!! June 26, 2007

I should preface my remarks by saying I'm a simply guy who enjoys simple things. This little gadget is one of my favorite finds online. I am completely happy with this little nose/ear hair trimmers and would recommend to anyone.
Pros:
- doesn't have batteries to replace
- no cord to plug in
- super compact (about the size of my pinkie)
- no maintenance required whatsoever
- solid material...with lifetime warranty
- IT WORKS!!!
Cons:
- Have to twist around a little longer than expected at times to catch all hair. But it works!
I highly recommend. It's well worth the price.
