how long does the blade last

I wasn't happy with this and am looking for another option. The Panasonic I had before this lasted a long time, but they discontinued it. I would not buy this one again.

Blade life is dependent upon usage. The part numbers for replacement blades are WES2113P3708 and WES2113P3718.

I don't know if it has been a year, but a pretty long time. It has remained sharp. I can't say I use it every day or every week though. I have liked this product from the beginning. It has a good weight and balance. And the edge is still sharp.

I have a cheap hair dryer that I use to dry the blades well after each shave. That Cuts reduces oxidation and my blades usually last three or four weeks.

The blade will stay sharp for a long time. If it gets dull or is damaged you can order a replacement blade from Oxo for about $6.

Mine lasted three months. I juiced daily and ran everything on high speed. You can't expect any juicer blade to last too long if you use it often. The only thing is that Breville sells this filter for less than HALF of the cost of this one on Amazon. That's nuts. I love my Breville juicer. Three to four months..expect that long for your blade/filter to last. Happy juicing everyone!

My guess is it will last for 20 minutes of actual cutting if not more. Most of the time it outlasts me. You are not using it continuously like you do with a hedge trimmer. You will not be sorry you bought this product. If you are really concerned, buy a second battery and have it charging.

Buy a box of 50. It'll last along time. Change blades every week. 50 blades at 10-15 dollars will last you a year or longer.

I have had it now for about a year (can't remember exactly when I bought it) and it is holding up great. I have sharpened the blade a few times and tightened the pocket clip bolts but other than that I haven't had any issues. It has been a really good knife.

The longest blade is 2 1/2 inches long. The previous answer is right on the money.

We have used the edger about 10 times so far this summer... I do not see any signs of blade wear yet. I would expect this to go at least a couple years on the original blade. the unit works quite well.

This is one of the long cutting blades. The higher the number on the blade, the shorter the hair cut. This one cuts about 3/4 of an inch long. for the summer I use a number 10 or 15 blade. As long as you take care of these blades, your trimmer will last a long time. Be sure to clean it after each use and spray it with the blade oil before putting it away. These blades are great!

I used another Conair trimmer for 8 years and I never replaced the blade and still working fine but the battery is failing and that is why I bought this item. I believe the blades can last almost forever if you clean and oil them after each use.

I would think you could tell when your knives no longer cut properly. Also I don't need to use it that often, so I believe for me it will last quite a while.

I haven't used the Blade Buddy. However, I've had this for just over one year and would highly recommend it. In one year I'm still on blade number three with every day being a great close shave. The only reason that I've gone through this many blades is because on the first two the pivots broke after so many months (Mach III blades).
