I think this would vary greatly depending on the vegetation you're cutting back with it and how careful you are with not hitting concrete with the blade. I've used it regularly for several months and the blade still seems as sharp as when it was new. I do not anticipate having to get it sharpened.

It depends on the conditions it is being used. If it is a first time use in soil it is going to have a shorter life. If used in the past in just cutting grass it will last longer. There is a wear indicator on the blade "a hole"

After edging aprox 280 feet of sidewalk, on both sides Plus 40ft drive way both sides and the walkway to the front porch and a sidewalk arond one end of house. The blade is worn almost to the theholes that are the point to change the blade. I don't know the time range as it was done in stages, not all in one shot. but the notches are worn off almost to change hole. does good job. Chas K.

Used 5-6 times last summer without any issue's. The first time I used it, was the first time it was edged in a few years as well.

Just back from a 10 vacation and took just the razor. Never needed a charge at all. As for the blades discussion - the razor will tell you when you need to change them. They should last about 18 months. When I returned home I put the razor in the cleaning station and it asked for an intense (long) cleaning process.

I usually just use them once and toss them. At 5 cents a blade it's worth it in my opinion. I've used a blade for 3 shaves and it still had life though so all depends on what you want.

If you keep the blade wet, it should do the entire job. I started with a spray bottle of water, gave the blade frequent shots, then trickled more into the cut behind the blade. As long as the blade is continuously lubricated and cooled with water, it will last a long time.

My wife can use hers about 5 times before it starts to lose it's edge. I would assume it depends on what blades you use and how thick the hair is that is being shaved. I like to use a razor that is a bit more aggressive when I shave my face but mine only last about three or four shaves. it doesn't really matter to me though since you can buy a couple months worth of blades for as much as a cup of coffee at starbucks.

I have not timed it, but I think 6-8 hours is sufficient. Two lithium batteries came with mine so I always have two charged and ready to go. I bought the weed whacker- leafblower combo. They work wonderfully for small jobs that you do often. Very pleased with them.

I have my Tormek set-up to sharpen cutlery. After I mount the blade in the clamp device, no more than two minutes, if that. If all the edge needs is a touch up, a minute. Then I steel it and it's done.

Only a few minutes, its best used on a regular basis, say once a month, to maintain the edge. Works bese on the older home knives that have had a hard life.Best regards,Paul EastonCEO Razor Red

I being using mine for over 8 months and I haven't replace the blade yet, but if you need replacements STD sells them and are easy to replace

I can't tell that blades last longer if run slower. From my perspective the faster you run them the smoother the cut on aluminum.

Sometime in the future you may want to buy replacement blades. I use mine everyday and get about 12 to 15 months before I have to replace them.

Depends on use and what you are juicing and that it is adjusted according to directions so the blade does not contact the hopper tunnel. Original blade lasted for 20+ years of on and off use.

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.

Depends on your hair really. Typically a blade lasts me about a week. I make it a ritual to change my blade every week regardless.

I would say 3 to 4 hours on a full charge. It's a great tool. Also has hedge trimmer that is light weight and does a great job on light to medium weight plants and shrubs.

I am not sure, they are supposed to last a long time. There are many good tips on yahoo as to how to use it and keep it.Many people use it for camping and claim that you will lose it before you "use" it . They say is also depends on how much you shave off with you knife each time. Works very well. I decided to try it as I am tired of having damp matches. But we don't camp that much so ours I am sure will last forever

It's very cheap in feel. Think maybe a millimeter of rubber coating a hard, metal handle. Not comfortable for extended use, not that you'd get past 5 minutes of use anyway before the blade chips itself to nothingness.
