One-battery trimmers simply not strong enough, was glad to find a two-batteries version. It has a perfect design which will attract many more naive surfers like me. Unfortunately it's not good for nose hair trimming. Problem is it makes electric-like unpleasant sensations when touches sensitive skin inside nose.
So much that it makes you scared using it ;-) It also doesn't cut well, doesn't reach inside, makes burning smell and overheated.

UPDATE On 2/7/2007:
From my recent experience, the MicroTOUCH Turbo is an excellent alternative which has no problems mentioned above. The only problem is its durability (you may find yourself buying 2 per year) but at the price below $10 this is not a real issue. Good luck!

It actually scared me intially - because of the burning smell and heat. But now after using it for over a year, I'd recommend this product but do not keep high expectations. The design is good enough to reach places :-).

This trimmer is excellent due to two batteries so it has plenty of power when the batteries start to run down. Sturdy, solid high speed unit, easy to clean, blade stays put when cover comes off. Bad smell(reported below)? You're kidding, right, it's a friggin' electric trimmer!

This is a good solid trimmer, first one I've tried. I've used scissors up to now but couldn't get an even cut. This gives a nice even trim quickly, the only drawback is my nose itches from the vibrations, but I can get used to that. Some reviews of this and other trimmers mention heat build-up (no problem) and electric smell (there, but not bad). Keep in mind that you must exhale while trimming or you'll breathe in hairs!

My old Sharper Image trimmer is better than this! It has a hard time trimming ear hair up close and sounds like it will stop when I trim. It is advertised as 10,000 rpm, but sounds and feels like 100 rpm. You get what you pay for in the end.
