Rank #1 in Best Nose Hair Trimmer 2026: 10 Ranked, From £6.45 to £45
Philips Series 5000 NT3650/16 Nose, Ear & Eyebrow Trimmer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips NT3650/16 sits at number 1 in this guide, and it is the best-evidenced product in it: 45,523 ratings, and a published star breakdown that runs 51% five-star, 22% four-star, 14% three-star, 5% two-star and 8% one-star. It is also the joint-lowest scoring product here at 4.0 — the same score as the cheapest items in the guide, on a listing that costs £16.97.
What the listing says about itself is mostly consistent, and where it is not, it is worth knowing. The title calls it a "Window Box"; the spec table calls the item "NT3650/16 NOSE TRIMMER CLOSED BOX". The bullets promise "100 percent comfort" and a dual-sided cutter with 16 cutting slots, described as "double the cutting slots vs the predecessor" — no figure is given for the predecessor. The spec table backs up the power arrangement rather than contradicting it: Power Source is Battery Powered, Are Batteries Required is Yes, and one AA battery is listed in the box. One of the most prominent reviews reports paying £10 for it, against the £16.97 shown on the page today.
Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself — title, bullets, spec table, price at the time of writing and the reviews shown there. We have not handled or tested the trimmer.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I'm really pleased with this trimmer. I used to pluck nose hairs but, after being advised not to, I decided to give this a try. I've used it several times now, especially when hairs start becoming visible, and it makes the job much easier.It cuts really well without any pulling or tugging. I just move it around the different areas and it cuts the hairs effortlessly. It's a good size, has a nice grip and is easy to hold and control. Being battery powered is also convenient.I paid £8.99 for it on sale, which I think is amazing value for a Philips product. So far, I have no complaints and it does exactly what I wanted it to do.”
Verified purchase“Philips nose trimmer. I am utterly amazed - I dont often write reviews. However, for £10 I recieved a quality item that looked like a 30 quid job. I tried it out suspicious that its low price would equate to a poor performance. Not a bit of it. I performed better than ANY flimsy unit I had owned before. It arrived professionally packed and with a pouch to keep it safe. My first electric shaver was a Philips and it lasted me 40 years so perhaps this is not so strange. If you want a trimmer buy this one. Perhaps I was lucky with the reduced price - I would happily pay £20 for this.”
