Does the job it’s supposed to do and seems to do it well. It just seems cheap & mean not to include a battery, it’s not as if Panasonic aren’t a big manufacturer of batteries or that you could choose to use the clippers without a battery.
Stuck with a brand I know and trust. This is easy to use and clean. Felt if it was slightly smaller in the cutting part I’d be able to do ear hairs better I had a very old one which was smaller and more narrow on the head piece , it worked better for me. But that being said it’s does the job well.
Thought I’d add a review since I was coming back to buy another one.
Only reason I’m buying another one is I was a plonker who tried to shake a few drops of water off after rinsing it….and accidentally chucked it at the floor (bending the top bit – rendering it inoperable).
So, as it’s lasted over six years (and might have lasted much more if I hadn’t broke it), for something that costs less than 15…I think that deserves a 5 star review.
Having owned several trimmers over the years of varying price, quality and capability, this is by far the best. Easy to use and clean, and it’s quite quiet. Feels like a quality product.
I have purchased a number of different make trimmers over the years and this Panasonic trimmer is the best by far. I can’t fault the price & reliability of this product.
I was given a hair remover device a couple of years ago as a present. It was not a well known brand and was a USB charge internal battery. It worked but on the occasional times I plugged it into my USB charger I could smell an electrical burning smell the following morning and it was very warm to touch. This scared me and I through it into the bin. This Panasonic uses regular AA battery, much happier with that. Almost forgot, it removes all my nasal hairs in a jiffy!! Care needed near eyebrows!!

Comparative Analysis:
While I considered other products before repurchasing, none matched this Panasonic trimmer’s reliability and performance. The brand’s reputation for quality, especially when compared to lesser-known brands, played a substantial role in my decision.
Personal Experience:
This purchase was a replacement for my old Panasonic trimmer, which served me well for many years. Its primary use for me has been nose hair trimming, at which it excels in terms of ease of use, comfort, and effectiveness. Although it’s also marketed for ear and eyebrow trimming, I found it less suitable for the latter, preferring the precision of scissors for that task.
The trimmer operates on a single AA battery, which lasts quite a while; I find myself replacing it roughly every six weeks. Of course, the battery longevity will vary depending on your usage frequency and duration. Thankfully, AA batteries are cost-effective, even more so when bought in bulk from discount stores.
Above all, what I appreciate about this trimmer is its pain-free operation and straightforward cleaning process. The waterproof feature makes maintenance a breeze, ensuring the trimmer stays hygienic and ready for use.
Here are a few usage tips for prospective buyers:
Avoid gripping the trimmer too tightly; a gentle hold will do.
Be gentle during use—there’s no need to rush the trimming process.
Clean the trimmer after each use as per the instruction manual.
Swap out the battery as soon as you notice the blade slowing down to prevent any snagging or tugging.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Panasonic ER-GN30 trimmer. Its durability, coupled with its performance, makes it a worthy investment for personal grooming. I’m looking forward to many years of use from this new purchase, just as I had with the last one.
always worried these things are going to fly off up my nose – lol daft anno but true but this looks safe and felt safe and worked quickly and efficiently as wasn’t worried after initial few seconds of use
Having thrown out an ageing Remington trimmer, this has proved to be better replacement. The dual action cutting blades save having to switch trimmer heads. It also seems to have a little more power considering it runs on just a single 1.5V AA cell. I used it to tackle the ticklish nasal hairs, ear hairs and even found I could trim away the stubble just under the nose, that standard shaving often misses.
I have tried a few of these products and in my opinion these are the best.
Work well with a close cut.
Easy to clean.
Would be better with a rechargeable battery, but no real issue.
Works very well. Lovely to hear the hairs being massacred.
I couldn’t comment on battery life as I’ve only used it twice and our household is all rechargeable in any case so it is of insignificance.
The only fault I have found is that it doesn’t have DAB radio built in.
In terms of its cutting ability, the ER-GN30 is fantastic. It can easily remove unwanted hair from the nose, ears, and face, and its dual-edge blade ensures that the hair is cut evenly and cleanly. Additionally, the blade is hypoallergenic, which means it is gentle on the skin and won’t cause irritation.
The ER-GN30 is also versatile and convenient to use. It can be used in both wet and dry conditions, which makes it an excellent choice for those who prefer to use it in the shower or bath. The trimmer is also lightweight and easy to handle, which makes it easy to reach all the tricky areas of the face and nose.
Overall, the Panasonic ER-GN30 Wet and Dry Electric Nose, Ear, and Facial Hair Trimmer is an excellent grooming tool that offers great cutting ability, good battery life, and convenience. It is versatile and easy to use, making it a great value for money option for those looking for a reliable trimmer.
Pros – 1) Very quick & efficient for their intended purpose, SECONDS after firing up these trimmers for the first time I was amazed to find myself well on the way to being done already!! Within a couple of minutes I was tidying up the odd nuisance hair I missed the first time & the job was done. They cleanly cut too rather than painfully yanking hairs out. They’re continuing to do an excellent job. ** (In fact, they’re so efficient I’d actually recommend caution when trimming nasal hair. Obviously a certain degree of hair is there as a natural filter against various foreign/airborne particles, these trimmers will quickly remove the whole lot if you’re not paying attention.) ** 2) Waterproof, can be used wet or dry & they’re easily cleaned whilst running too. 3) Small, light & ergonomically shaped, great for trimming from various angles & they fit nicely in the hand. 4) Reasonably priced.
Cons – 1) No travel/storage pouch, not a deal breaker but it would have been useful. 2) Not rechargeable, but this has its obvious pros too. 3) The removable parts remove just a little too easily! The battery cover & top cap both conveniently twist/lock into place. However, the locking mechanisms aren’t particularly robust, either part could easily work loose & become lost in a bag, etc., (another reason why a travel pouch would have been handy). 4) Replacement parts available, however, a replacement head seems to cost nearly twice that of the unit itself for example.
Ultimately, when it comes to what’s required of them as trimmers they do an excellent job & they do it quickly. A couple of minor niggles which lose them a star, other than that I’m happy with them & they’re a huge improvement on my previous Braun trimmers. I would purchase another if I broke the product myself or if it failed out of warranty, or as a gift. (I’ll update this review if they do fail prematurely.) Otherwise, I would happily recommend them. 4/5.
