The Panasonic ER-GN30-K Vortex Wet/Dry Nose and Facial Hair Trimmer has now arrived. It comes in 3 pieces: The main body, a protective cap, and a small brush. The machine has a 2-year parts and labor warranty, so I have to keep that on file in case the thing stops working. It runs on AA batteries, which I have purchased from Dollar Tree. It is just lucky that I got a Panasonic trimmer and Panasonic batteries. I will also be testing the batteries; you can read that post at this link.
The battery cover is the bottom part of the curved handle. It twists open and pulls off. Battery insertion is easy, and the cover only fits on one way, so putting it back on is simple. There are two blade settings: Run and Wash. The trimmer also comes with an 8-page manual written in English, Spanish, and Portugese.
The blade is a rotary blade, not like the combed blades of some other trimmers. This makes deep insertion almost impossible, which is good because there is a warning in the manual not to insert the blade too far. My first trim yielded nice results in the nose but less than stellar results in the ears.
Also, the unit takes an AA battery. I bought the battery at Dollar Tree; it was also a Panasonic. I paid $1 for 3 batteries. Walking through the King Soopers, their comparable alkaline battery price was $2.84 for 4 batteries. We shall see how long this low-price battery lasts and then get the others for a comparison.
