Superior Trimmer
I bought this to replace a Panasonic ER-GN30 I had for several years but which broke. I was never really that happy with the Panasonic as I felt like it chewed through batteries and often pulled the hair when cutting (and avoiding that is one of the main reasons I got a trimmer in the first place).
My first impressions of the ToiletTree was that the build quality was somewhat better than the Panasonic. It definitely rattled less and felt more solid, but the base cap and top assembly are all still primarily plastic. The function, however, is night and day above the Panasonic. Not only has it not pulled one time, it also cuts much faster. With the Panasonic, I felt like I had to spend a few minutes per nostril, but with the ToiletTree the job was done in 10-15 seconds. It's like using a commercial lawnmower instead of a weed whacker.
I took a look at the cutters (Panasonic is black, ToiletTree is white), and the design seems almost identical. It could be that the motor on the ToiletTree is stronger, so it's cutting more cleanly. Or it could be that my Panasonic was a lemon. We'll see if the ToiletTree holds up.
