How do the blades hold up after long-term use?

i have been using the replacement blades for two months and they are holding up just fine. i have used the bullet to make tomato sauce, margaritas with ice cubes, and many other dishes.

So far, so good. It hasn't been that long but I'm definitely happy with my purchase.

I personally use each blade for a week/seven days before swapping it out for a new one. I've used them for longer and they start to dull after that.

So far I've had min for a few months, and I have used them a lot. Still nice and sharp, haven't had the need to sharpen it.

It's a great, sharp blade; but will tend to rust if not kept dry and maybe oiled. I've had mine for years and it's still rockin!

I use them for that and they work great. I leave mine on all year.Keep em sharp. They have a turn up on the end of the blade.

The blades are thicker than the pair that we had before them. One of those blades on the previous pair broke though which is why they had to be replaced. So to answer the question completely we would have to say that we like the old pair better but those broke. These will probably last.

I haven't had any issues with it yet. The blades appear to be coated pretty well, so it doesn't appear to be a problem down the road.

If you sharpen the blade every 4 to 6 months and do not try to mulch sticks and twigs it should last a couple of years or more. On my last mover (also electric) the blade lasted 4 years.

Specialized blades. The way they slide in and lock for stability makes me think you can't just pick up something generic. Mine have lasted quite a while though so I wouldn't worry about having to replace them often.

I too would like to know. How long do the rotary blades typically last on Norelco razors?

I think they will stay sharp longer than I will need them to. I use it almost everyday and it has been a few months. No dulling at all.

They get gradually duller. Depends on how long you can tolerate to take to shave (and touch up with a blade) before replacing. I was on the same blades for 5 years or so and realized how bad they were when I forgot it on a trip to France and bought a new one there. You can supposedly also sharpen them a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSBX81U1otM

I have searched and searched, but cannot find anywhere that sells replacement blades. I've had mine for a couple years now, and use it regularly. I used it a whole lot when I first got it. The blades are still good. I wish there were a way to replace the blades, but it looks like there is not.

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've had them for 5 years with daily use and they haven't lost sharpness. I would love to order a new set, but my current one is still as good as new. Just avoid putting them in the dishwasher to prevent rust.

Very durable. The life span of the shavers blades is dependent upon the care and usage by the customer. I do not know about shaving of the head because I do not shave mine.

They cut extremely well and do not become dull as soon as other blades. Like other blades, you must keep them out of the dirt.
