How long does this last before you need to replace the blades on this?

I am not able to answer your question. I ordered this sharpener a short time ago and have not used it yet.

I have no idea because I have not yet had to sharpen it. My experience with sharpeners is that it takes quite a while before they would need sharpening, so I wouldn't base a purchase decision on it.

I don't know that there really is one as blades really are really only supposed to last a season (1 year). So much depends on the environment as to how they last, but if you really need to know call them at 855-267-2483 and choose option #4 to speak to a Bosch technical support representative.

I don't think it would be economical to replace the blade as the squeegie is cheaper or as cheap as new blades. and no I don't think it can be replaced anyway. Unless you clean windows more than once every 2 months (how many people do that? lol) it's worth its cost.

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

Yes blade replacements are needed occasionally (more often if you are cutting thicker material). Blades are anywhere from 8-15 dollars depending on where you purchase, and if on sale or not. Simple replacement, diy.

The blades are not the best. It depends on how much you use them and what kind of wood you are planing. You will have to replace them after a short time.

Not sure if blade could be replaced...Mine has never worn out...so the need to replace hasn`t come up..

I've had mine about a year now and I have not needed to replace anything. I guess you could wear the blade down if you grind it on concrete a lot. It is still running strong like the day I got it.

If you were going to replace the blades, you might as well replace the whole thing - it is basically a ton of blades attached to a handle and some wheels, I would go with sharpening it with one of the kits they sell specifically for this kind of mower.

I think the replacement blade is listed on their website but after having this mower for 3 years I have never needed one. If you have a dremel, you can flip the mower on it's side and sharpen the blade in 5 minutes. It's very easy. I do it twice a season and it's good as new. If you hit something big though you will need a new blade.

I just use it for almost a year. Want to buy a blade to be rapidly replaced.

I haven't had to replace the blade yet.This is my second one as I gave my first to my son since he kept borrowing it.

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.

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.

Hello Ajax,My husband just received the razor in the mail and is wondering, too, about how often one needs to replace the blade. One per week would be a minimum of $520/yr, that is if he bought two blades at a time and didn't have to pay shipping.

No, it comes with a tiny brush for cleaning the blades/head to keep it from getting clogged. I feel it's reasonably priced just to replace it if it becomes dull. I haven't had that problem though. I would clean it after each use with the brush.

I have used the same bland for one year. It is nearing the end of its useful life, and I think I will change it mid-summer. I only use it on 1 home. I have purchased spare blades online to have on hand for when I need them. It is a good unit that performs well. So far so good!
