Which brand is the best for electric nasal hair remover for thick hair?

I don't have really thick nasal hair, but I like the Wahl trimmer with interchangable heads. It uses 1 AA battery. I got mine at Walgreens. Works like a charm.

I have a cheap little no name brand one that uses a 1AA battery also. It didn't work very well at first, so I took apart and lubed all the moving parts with TriFlow and it works fantastic now. Mine aren't too thick though either.

I've been happy with this Groom Mate trimmer. It's a battery-free trimmer which has performed very well, and pain free. Average thickness hair here though.

I tried an electric one, and my nasal hair isn't particularly thick I don't think, but it never worked very well. The motor just didn't have enough torque and ended up catching and pulling.

Subsequently I found a manually operated one which works a lot better (that link isn't the exact one I used, but it's similar).

These days I use a Wahl 2xAA battery operated beard trimmer. I just poke the corner in from a couple of different angles and that does the trick.
