No Prime required. Not quite an ATL, but good enough if you want to try and cut your own hair in this economy.
According to @Muzeeb, you might be able to do a price beat at The Good Guys to get an even better deal.
CamelCamelCamel.
Same - except my gaurds have started to die. They don't stay clipped on and have cracked. Bought it in 2019 so 5 years is a good run.
I ordered replacement guards a couple of years ago from Remington, had to call their customer support.
Do you remember what they cost roughly?
@The Hobo: I think it was something like $20 for two guards, including delivery. Expensive, but cheaper than buying a new trimmer.
A true ozbargainer uses the kitchen scissors.
Not sure they would do that… They would be using a stanly knife blade and/or the wipper snipper if they needed to trim a forest… But i dunno…
@stingyAF - A true ozbargainer is a sexual tyrannosaurus and dry shaves with a cheap BIC disposable razor and no shaving cream cutting their face out in the jungle:

Non branded rapid cut pro can be had on ali express for ~$30. Even shares the same model number 4300, im convinved its out of the same factory as remington.. got one recently and very happy with it.
You gotta share a link mate 😁
I actuallt dont know how to share ali express url withour gettinf flagged for referral spam
Username checks out 😅
Usually there's a number (sort of like an ID) that is associated with each Aliexpress product, which can be found in the link like so:
vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006867702465.html
You can share that number instead, it can be searched directly on Aliexpress to find the corresponding product.
@anonym: Hope it works this time.
Youll see its identical in appearance (without branding) to the superseeded remington rapid cut turbo 4300 ive also shared below.
I purchased the ali variant to replace my original rapid cut that karked it, and was very happy to find it delivered a closer shave and was quieter also.

There's a wahl in Amazon warehouse for not much more. I've had the same clippers for over 15 years. Haven't changed the blades and only very little maintenence.

I've been using the older version of this for 6 years. Body, face, scalp it's excellent.

Ive had both and currently have this newer model. For the price, its excellent. But the older model is definitely better to use, feels much better. This one has more power though - but I find the extra power unrequired.
Very happy with my older model.
Easiest quality self haircut I have used.
Whal clippers are the best but not an easy self cut.
I have been using the Rapid Cut Turbo from This Deal a few years back.
Is this deal a worthwhile upgrade at all?
I was thinking the same thing, except I'm using this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Remington-HC4250AU-Rapid-Hair-Clip…
The battery is starting to fail on it, so it feels like a good time to get a new one
I replaced the battery in mine, it works better than new now.

Thanks for the info. I will get one of these when my battery goes.
I'm using the same. I feel the design of this older model would be easier to hold and use. As TheDimov commented above as well.
Thanks OP, bought this and received it last night.
Just some observations i want to point out when inspecting this:
- Feels really good in the hand, very ergonomic
- Came with 2 chargers, this surprised me: 1 wall charger, and a separate usb cable charger. Going to come in very useful when travelling.
- The leather bag it comes with is nice, but it is difficult to fit everything in it, it can be done but will involve some squeezing & stretching. may be better off only taking the charger and bits you need when taking it in the bag on the go.
Still using the older model
