works well and quickly [SEP] for more than a decade i have been using panasonic brand nose hair trimmers and found them all initially very functional but soon running much more slowly than i would wish my current one has a feature to clean it out by opening a drain hole but doing so never seems to accomplish anythingthis maswater nose hair trimmer is in some ways simpler but that is better in my opinion to clean it out the head can be twisted and popped off then cleaned out with a brush included in the battery compartment turns out the panasonics head also twists off for better cleaning access but i never knew that until i tried it tonight of the two the maswater runs more quickly than the panasonic on the same aa battery which is good for finishing promptly the maswater also includes a very dim built in led light though i could not imagine that helping me in any way while trimming hairs from either my nose or earsthe real test will be how long the maswater continues to run quickly i am on my third panasonic after the prior two slowed so much as to be useless for now both work but i will be reaching for the maswater first so long as it continues to work well
