Our Review Of The Anvava Nose Hair Trimmer

Some Things I Like About the Anvava

• Slim Profile – I already mentioned that these are slim, but why is that a good feature you ask? Well, when a grooming tool takes up little space, it is more likely to find a place in your Dopp bag or carry on when traveling. Which means it gets used more.  Also, it is easier to maneuver. You need to be able to get it into the nooks and crannies, sometimes without seeing what you are doing. This helps.
• Protective Cap – Whether your trimmers are sitting on a bathroom shelf, inside the medicine cabinet or in your Dopp bag, you want that tip staying clean. Imagine the tip collecting dust and other nastiness from your bathroom. And then you want to put that in your nostrils?No thanks. At least the cap will keep your clean trimmer tip clean. You are cleaning it right?
• Stylish – Admittedly, this is probably not high on the list of must haves for the best nose hair trimmer. I mean it isn’t a glamorous piece of kit. But, I really like the fact that it looks like a pen. If it is left out on your bathroom sink when you have guests, it won’t look out of place there.
• Sneeze Less – If you have a sensitive nose that makes you sneeze like crazy when trimming your nose hairs, then you will be pleased to know that this is very gentle against the skin of your nostrils. It doesn’t buzz quite as much as some other nose hair trimmers out there.
• Quiet – Some trimmers can really buzz way too much. (I’m looking at you Panasonic ER430K!) Which can be a problem if you have a sleeping partner that you don’t want to disturb. And, it can be annoying to listen to a lot of noise while you may be trying to listen to some music or something while you trim your nose hairs. The best nose trimmers should be nice and quiet, like this Anvava nose hair trimmer.

How Do the Anvava Nose Hair Clippers Work?

The Anvava nose hair trimmer is a rotary style trimmer. In other words, it has dual blades that rotate around in a safety cone. This system is different than other foil guard trimmers that rock back and forth quickly similar to a hair clipper. At 10,000 rpm, it is incredibly fast and can trim nose hairs in seconds. In less than a minute you can use the nose trimmer to buzz down those pesky, wiry hairs no matter how thick they are. And it cuts extremely close, too. The nose trimmer gets as close to the skin as possible while still leaving enough stubble to let the nose hair retain its actual function. Which is to filter out any particles from the air before you breathe it in. In fact, you shouldn’t use any nose trimmers too far up your nose so that way you can leave enough of the long ones for that purpose. Those hairs way up in the nose can’t be seen anyway. Anvava nose hair trimmers have just the right sized trimmer head that you really don’t need to force it up your nose. Just let it go in as far as the tip of the trimmers are and move it around.

How to Use the Nose Trimmers

The first thing you need to do is to charge the Anvava nose hair trimmer before you use it. Hook it up to a USB port either on your computer or you can use an adapter that plugs it into a wall outlet. It takes about three hours for the nose hair trimmer to reach a full charge. After that you get forty minutes of run time. Which if you use it once a week for 5 minutes, then you will get eight weeks before it needs to recharge. As I stated already, these nose hair clippers work quickly and in most cases, you only need a minute to fully trim your nose hairs. Now you want to simply turn it on and stick the safety cone into your nostril. Move it around slowly and let it do its work. Since there is a protective cover with vents on the top of the head, it allows the nose hair in but prevents you from nicking yourself. Use a mirror to take a look and make sure you got all the hairs and you’re done.

How to Clean the Anvava Nose Hair Clippers

Keeping your equipment clean is important for any tool. It will last longer and work much better if you make sure it isn’t getting gunked up with anything.

The last thing you want to do is to put the tip of a trimmer that still has the remnants of your last nose trimming session. Sorry for the visual, but that’s pretty gross!

To clean it off, use the included brush and just wipe away any loose hairs or snotty bits.

If it looks particularly grimy, you can pop off the tip and rinse it under water.

Aside from that, there is nothing to maintain.

Don’t skip this part, though. You need to keep the blade clear of hair. Any hair, including nose hairs, are very acidic. If they sit too long on the blade, eventually the blade will get dull.

If your blades get dull, then you’ll find it pulls the hairs when you trim.

What I Don’t Like About the Anvava

Let me first say that these are minor quibbles. If you have read other nose hair trimmer reviews then I am sure you’ve heard the same or similar complaints. None of them are deal breakers, in other words.

• Runs Hot – If you can manage to trim your nose hairs in a minute or so, then they will stay a normal temperature. If you end up needing a few minutes, then they tend to heat up a little bit.Hot enough to get uncomfortable in your hand? Probably not. You may not even find that the Anvava nose hair trimmer heats up, but it bears mentioning.
• Tip Pops Off – I love that the tip can be rinsed under the water to really make sure they get fully washed off. The problem is that it tends to get a bit loose over time if you take it off frequently. Be gentle with your nose hair trimmer and it will treat you well. You may not even have this problem. Make sure you keep the cover on it when you store it, especially if it is in a Dopp bag.
• Can Only Be Used Dry – Try to remember that you can’t take these trimmers in the shower to get your nose hair groomed. Not a big deal, really, but considering how busy we are these days, it would be nice to do this quickly in the shower and save a few minutes in the morning. One thing I notice anyway, is that it seems to be difficult to trim wet nose hairs. This is probably a non issue then since I feel like it isn’t even worth it to trim your nose hair in the shower anyway.

One more thing almost not worth mentioning is the fact that these are marketed also as ear, beard and eyebrow trimmers. Though they can be used to trim ear hair just as well as they trim nose hairs, they really come up short when trimming a beard or eyebrows. They really aren’t designed for that.

In fact, I cannot even imagine using the Anvava nose hair trimmer on your beard. The fact that they try to advertise it in this way is a bit baffling.

Every tool has its job and should focus on what it can actually do well. You aren’t doing anybody any favors by suggesting that it can trim a beard.

Eyebrows? Ok maybe the Anvava nose hair trimmer can be used on your eyebrows, but honestly I have never tried to use nose trimmers to trim my eyebrows.

If you buy these only expecting them to be the best nose trimmer that also does ear hair, then you won’t be disappointed.

The lifespan of the Anvava nose hair trimmer is a bit hit or miss. You may end up using it for years, or you may be lucky to get a year and a half out of them. Since they are a smaller brand and looking to cover the budget nose hair market, they may have cut some corners when it comes to manufacturing.

I don’t say this to scare you off, as I think these nose hair trimmers are very good.

Is the Anvava the Best Nose Trimmer?

I understand that this is not the sexiest of devices to try to get you excited about.

And, it isn’t a brand that has a lot of recognition.

Which is one of the reasons I like to recommend them. I feel like these small brands can use a helping hand. When I find one that does a good job for a good price, then I get really excited about writing up a review.

I urge you to give it a try for your nose hair removal needs as it works really well and the price is right.

There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles, which I like.

I mean, it’s a nose hair trimmer. There isn’t much else it should do except for trim your nose hairs really well. Most of those add-ons for other trimmers are there just for attention to get you to buy, but really don’t get used.

I mean, do you really need a tiny mirror on the cap of a nose hair trimmer? What could you possibly see with that?

Some features like a vacuum or something I can definitely see as being useful, but it is not totally necessary. Personally, I would rather save a few bucks and keep things basic. As long as the performance is there, then that is what counts.

Instead, this one focuses on power, cutting ability, size, and reliability. That’s all it needs to do really.
