I realize my question is variable but, about, how long does one of these last before it gets dull and needs to be replaced? Thank you.

my old steel which wasn't a wusthof lasted about 10 years before it became not very effective. I hope this one does as well. It sure works good now

They last a very long time. Sharpening your knife before every use takes only a moment. I have never seen a sharpening steel wear out.

We have had ours for about 7-8 months... used every day and still running strong. It is LED so it should last for years ... works great too

My advice would be to replace the chain when it gets that dull. It takes a long time. Keeping it oiled is the key. You can buy a "sharpener" if you want, but even my mechanical husband finds sharpening by hand is time consuming. If you have an Ace Hardware, they could probably help you. We have used it many many times since we've bought it and it doesn't show any signs of needing sharpening yet. Good Luck

I haven't had mine very long so can't verify the information, but according to the specs it is supposed to last for 50,000 hours of use which works out to over 5 1/2 years of steady use. I don't expect something like this to last that long, but it would be a nice surprise.

Mine quit on me after 3 months. I bought a "Cool Master" to replace. This one works really well. I have a feeling it will last longer too.

I've purchased 2 of these from Amazon. The first one lasted just over a year and now the one I have seems fine and it's probably been a year or close to it. The information I got said it should last 1 year to 18 months.

The one that came with my vacuum has lasted about 4 years with weekly use. Rinse and dry, put it back in. I bought a spare because I noticed a small split in the rubber after all this time, and it might be good to have a replacement handy.

It would depend on amount of use and how well you take care of it. I expect mine to last 5 years at least.

When mine was new(september 2014), it would go for around 30 hours of use. Now, I get about 2 or 3 hours out of it. I am very disappointed in it. I don't know if I just got a dud, or if they are just lower quality and wear out fast.

I have been using this for at least 2-3 years, it has never dulled. When using these, you must be very careful! They are very sharp. If you use it for vegetables that are too small for the holder, be very careful.

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

A few weeks, I think they suggest replacing it every two weeks, but I've used it for six weeks with no complaints from my pup. Depends on weather and usage I would guess also.

This item was pretty good while it was new. But after 2 months of use the blade went dull. I told the guy who recommended it he told me he sharpens it every 3 months or so. I just went back to my WAHL precision clipper which is still surprisingly as good as it was 10 years ago. And without sharpening. This outliner I kept just for back up.. Hope this helps.

It can last 4+ years if properly maintained which is clear that you are doing. Great Job. We do recommend that after 10 yrs you do replace it proactively. You can call our customer support line at 800.9910.0466 ext 3 if you are in need of further assistance

I have gone thru ton's of these things by various makers....one even lasted 2yrs.........on average they last a year. I can tell you that this one works better than most I've owned....but can't help you on warranty info or maker as I throw the info away....for me, it's just not worth returning.

I've had mine for less than a year so I've no idea how long it will last. Over one year i'd say.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.
