Was Looking for a Lint / Fabric Shaver and found this. Its always been $19.95.
Currently selling for $15.96 @ Amazon & Myer
There is one more model from philips(GC026/00) that goes for $12-13. However this model has additional features
CamelCamelCamel.
I get the kids to do my jackets. It's cheaper you say to let them use razor blades?
In the spirit of ozbargain, I'll try it tonight!
For kids I suggest jigsaw / katana if you have one.
$10 at Kmart for their generic brand. My guess is that the same manufacturer in China makes them all.
Had a kmart one that was going for special @8
The blades went blunt just after 2 uses.
Nothing against K mart stuff, love some of the other cheapies from K mart.
Been using the older model of the Phillips for a long time. Still works fine
Having been using the Kmart one for years. Still going strong. Came with spare set of blades which have yet to be used.
I don't think I have anything that makes lint except some socks.. bought anyway.
Spoke like a true Ozbargainer :)
Good find. If you have eBay Plus then you can get it for $15.96 delivered from Myer Ebay Store.
These are only $2.80 at Daiso.
Daiso don't sell Philips products.
I meant to say Daiso branded one.
The older model works just as well, available for $13 at JB hifi: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/philips-pill-remover
I bought it at that price from the good guys. Has served me well. Some old sweaters, hoodies turned new ;-)
Thanks OP bought one, i had the tedious task of having to use a razor blade last night on a cotton sheet after I washed it by mistake with other items… big mistake!
What's the difference between this and the previous light blue version which I purchased for $12?

I am not sure of this one but I had a defective model ordered from amazon. It had a loose lint box. All the lint removed kept on falling outside, I am soon returning it
Philips are pretty reliable in terms of a brand for these types of gadgets.
Use a razor blade. Works the same
