They are quite good. IMO it is the best processor. The puree or smoothie comes great. The reason is that it has the most powerful motor, almost professional grade.

Some possible explanations could be the blade is not tightened all the way, something may be bent and out of balance, or the blade has become unbalanced for some reason.

As for the size difference I don't know . But I must say that I am somewhat disappointed in the durability of these blades. after making 20 or so 10 thousands removal passes on the edge of plywood I can feel very distinct ridges where the glue lines were on my new blades. I wish I could find blades that had carbide edges. The time it takes me to set a new set of blades perfectly in the machine is valuable. I would pay +/- $80.00 for a set of carbide blades.

Not necessarily, but not because they're bad. When you first start you will miss often resulting in chipped and bent blades. There are sets which are less expensive without being cheap and are better suited for someone who is learning and going to abuse their blades a bit. One you've dialed it in and are sure it's a hobby for you, then upgrade to a set like this.

Honestly, My blade did not perform as well as I thought it should. It really leaves a pretty rough cut. I wound up going to Lowes and bought the IRWIN Marples 10-in 50-Tooth Circular Saw Blade. Truthfully, I was VERY impressed with it. It is holding up well. Not as thin as the diablo, so if your saw is low on horsepower, you will have to adjust your feed rate. If you must have the diablo, I would get the 40 for stock that thick.

The blades are very thin and light, much thinner and lighter than my traditional chef knife. I use mine on a maple butcher block and only have to hone them about once every 3 months. Not all high carbon steel is created equally. Would I choose these over a Wusthof Chef Knife at the same price? Probably but it is a personal preference based on look and feel. Both are quality knives and would preform well.

I have the feeling the "manual" blades are exactly the same as the "power" blades. Gillette must have reasons to think we are not very smart...

I have never used a true helical cutter head so I cannot compare. But to the straight knife blades they are alot better. They are much quiter. The blades are 4 sided so when one side dulls it is super easy to rotate the blade. I can rotate all the blades in about 10 minutes. You will notice very small lines in the wood from the knives, but are very easily sanded out. When I plane my wood I only remove 1/32 at a time and with that I do not have problems with tearout. I have planed hundreds of boardbfeet of oak, hard maple, soft maple, cherry, rustic alder, rustic cherry, hickory, walnut, and mohagony with no problems. This is the best portable planer I have used.

One of the real design benefits is the way the blade is held in place. No other DE razor I have seen has this. Blade is equal on both sides all the time and no blade vibration. Sometimes its hard to tell its cutting. I had a real problem with my Merkur razors holding the blade equal.

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

It has a safety set up that requires you use their blades. (But I have not attempted to use others or override it) They do cost more... but last longer than the olfas I used for years and I am not bleeding changing the blade!

See my review. I had the same problem. The blades were not the same outside diameter, thus one cutting deeper than the other.

Not really sure. They're not bad blades, but maybe a bit pricey. If you're a new-comer, I'd recommend a sampler pack to find what's best for you.

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

I have used the Gillette Sensor blades since they were introduced. I recently ordered Sensor Excel blades (by mistake) and find they aren't nearly as sharp and fall short of the good shave I got with the older model Sensor blade.

Although opinions vary, yes, these are better than derby blades. You can put your blades into a lot of things so don't get derby blades just fit that reason.

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.
