Turbo cleaning illuminated personal groomer

A personal groomer for trimming nose and/or ear hairs, comprising:

• a hand-holdable housing;
• a cutting head assembly, disposed within and protruding at least partially from a distal end of said housing, including a rotatable inner blade unit and a concentric outer stationary cutting unit;
• a motor, disposed within and operable within said housing so as to rotate, when energized, said rotatable inner blade;
• and
• an impeller fin member, disposed adjacent a lower portion of said cutting head assembly for rotational motion thereabout, said impeller fin member being disposed so as to draw water into said cutting head assembly when said cutting head assembly is immersed in water and said motor is energized.

A personal groomer for trimming nose and/or ear hairs, comprising:

• a hand-holdable housing;
• a cutting head assembly, disposed within and protruding at least partially from a distal end of said housing, including a rotatable inner blade unit and a concentric outer stationary cutting unit;
• said rotatable inner blade unit including a rotatable base member and at least two blades protruding therefrom, each of said blades forming approximately a 90.degree. bend adjacent a distal blade end;
• said concentric outer stationary cutting unit defining a plurality of partially inwardly-inclined castellations;
• a motor, disposed within and operable within said housing so as to rotate, when energized, said rotatable inner blade;
• an impeller fin member, disposed adjacent a lower portion of said cutting head assembly for rotational motion thereabout;
• said impeller fin member including at least one fin disposed so as to draw water into said cutting head assembly when said cutting head assembly is immersed in water and said motor is energized;
• and
• a light source, disposed within said housing so as to provide, when energized, illumination generally directed towards said hairs.

A method of cleaning a personal groomer of the type having a hand-holdable housing within which is disposed a cutting head assembly that protrudes at least partially from a distal end of said housing, and a motor coupled to rotate, when energized, at least a portion of said cutting head assembly so as to cut hairs, the method including the following steps:

• disposing an impeller fin member adjacent a lower portion of said cutting head assembly for rotational motion thereabout when said motor is energized, said impeller fin member including at least one fin;
• submerging at least the protruding portion of said cutting head assembly in water;
• and
• energizing said motor;
• wherein at least some of said water is drawn into said cutting head assembly and is expelled therefrom by rotation of said at least one impeller fin, and said cutting head assembly is cleaned.
