are the stainless blades replaceable?

Sorry, no. The blade is molded in place. However, it is very hard series 400, medical grade stainless steel, and should last a long time.

If you are refering to the plastic gear that drives the blades, I can say with certainty that is has not. I love this machine and when mine went on the fritz we called the mfg and ask about a replacement part and was told no when ask about metal. I now have a new one (that cost less than repairs would have). I also have written and suggested they make every effort to devise a metal one, especially for people like me who uses the system every day. My sugggestion if it no longer works and it is the little gear in the base, pitch it, get a new one. My last one lasted over 5 years and for the amount of use and the cost, well worth the investment. Oh yes, I tried other systems before repurchasing the Black and Decker Food system and sent them back as they fall very short of convienent to use.

My husband's response is yes the replacement blades are just standard double sided blades which he claims can be still be purchased.

I can't answer your first question, but I can answer the second. I haven't had any trouble with my blades rusting. They appear to be stainless steel.

Yes. The blade is stainless steel. I have been using one for the past 15 yrs. I bought this one so that I cut cut the blade at its shaft and use it in a cordless drill. Good day.

I think they may be, but I can't find the information that came with the item. At any rate I haven't had any trouble with the mixer. I am very pleased w/it and use it often to puree berries to mix w/my greek yogurt. sorry I can't confirm the blades. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor.All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

The blades are removable but should simply be replaced and not sharpened.. I cannot imagine, with reasonable care, that you would need to sharpen the blades.....

Hi. I don't know if they are replaceable. I've been using this unit for a few months and so far am happy with it.

They are stainless steel, but have not counted the blades, but seems close. Whatever the number, it does a great job.

They are not titanium blades, they are titanium coated (probably titanium carbon nitride or titanium aluminium nitride). If they are decent stainless underneath they should not rust.

I can't see why not. I'd just call the company and see if they offer replacement blades.

According to their specifications, we are supposed to be able to use other brands replacement blades. I have not attempted tobuy any yet. I did search amazon for replacement HSS (high speed steel) Segmented Blades and found many.

Hi, Candy, I'm not the manufacturer. I'm a customer too. Have no idea if the blades are replaceable. Try contacting MIU France.

I have heard there are replacement blades available, but have yet to find any.

I don't know if you can buy the replacement blades. I don't recommend this product because it is harmful to fabric. It created holes on my sweaters and I wish I didn't purchase it.

You'd have to contact Derwent for absolute verification but, since it's fundamental design is so poor, I doubt a replaceable blade is available. Like so many products these days, the consumer is unable to replace elementary parts because it's far more profitable for a company to maneuver one into repurchasing the entire unit.
