Do you have to replace the trimming blades? If so how often?

For Home use they should last a Life Time, I have this Clipper for personal use

No. They are just like the clippers the barber uses on your hair but on a smaller scale. I have large barber clippers as well and since I only use them on myself, I have never changed the blade. I have had those clippers well over five years. If this unit will be used for personal use, it should take you years and years, (and I mean years) before you ever need to replace the blades as long as you keep the them oiled and cleaned periodically just like the larger ones.

Soory I can't help here. Since I have had the Andis for only 6 months, I have not had a need to change the blades yet. However, all literature indicate that its a fair simply process(?). Note: I recently purchased the Oster T-Blade fast Finisher Trimmer and am truly impressed. It blow away the Andis. The Andis Cordless is great for travel overseas (Europe - Italy, Spain, UK, Frnace) due to its dual voltage. However, for US and if you don't mind an electrical cord it blows it away. Oster is powerful, heavy duty motor, trims to .02 (00000), gets the job done"fast", little heavier than the Andis and cheaper (on Amazon). Soory I can't help here.

Keep them clean with the dust brush to remove hairs and make sure the blades are lubricated with the enclosed oil and these trimmers will last quite long with average use. The pair I bought lasted 2 years --- we are using them daily in a salon environment.

Depends on the use, but as long as you keep the blades cleaned and oiled they should last a very very long time (years). Most likely some other part of the clippers will give out before the blades do.

I never thought the blades could be replaced. If so, I would imagine they be as expensive as getting an entirely new unit.

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.

to be honest with you Michael i dont bother changing the blades.they Probally would be just as expensive as the razor ,However i did find one solution that helped to a Degree.the razor comes with an extra screen so once the Razor starts to show signs of not working like it did 6 months ago, just replace the screen that comes with it Carefully and you will see a Difference in Sharpness.i buy a razor liek this every 6 months or so and im happy.

I generally use a blade 3-4 times. But I was thinking of changing them after every time I shave just because the blades are $11 and some change for a 100. It gives a great shave just have to get used to it.

The blades themselves seem like they can last indefinitely. I was never told that they should be replaced yearly, so I've been using the same set for at least 20 years. They get dull, but they can be sharpened with some very fine grit sandpaper. What is more likely to wear out are the screens for the blades. They could break at any time after a few years. That's what happened to me. When they break, you need to buy a new set. The ones I bought here have been a good, cheap, reliable purchase.

I understand the CutterPillar blade does not need replacing, at least not "for years." I have not tried one, though, and they seem to be currently sold out. Just thought I'd add- they do sell some refurbished models on ebay.

I have had mine for 3 yrs or so...strictly used in a home setting. Probably not built to take continual use in an office. I have yet to replace any parts, including the cutter wheel. Real nice trimmer. Hope this helps.

Braun states that you should replace this every 18 months. You will definitely feel a smoother and closer shave with the new blades.

No, but I've had one of these for about ten years now, and it's just started having problems cutting within the past month. I looked to see if it could be fixed, but it looks like I'm better off just to replace it.

Honestly you don't have to just make sure the blades clean, but I just the blade about every 3 shaves so it's getting fully cleaned Hope that helps

No I do not have replacement blades but I doubt you may need to use another one in a long time if you use it for flowers since this one is a heavy duty blade and very sharp.

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.

In time you will need to change the blades but not for at least a year or longer

I usually oil my trimmer when it sounds like it's working too hard. Every 10 or 12 trims I use the oil provided. One drop on each edge of the blades, run for a few seconds turn off and wipe blades, do this twice, then you can use the trimmer.

I do not think the blades can be replaced. Careful sharpening might be done but with proper care and used as designed I think these loppers will last many years without either being necessary.

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~
