It's easy to detect your cut quality is lowered, your not mulching as well, its clumping, missing grass, grass looks beat up not cut.
I try to file mine nightly although I've been slacking lately, for heavy chunks I use a vice grip, angle grinder, and a cone balancer
You say it's easy detecting when your cut quality is lowered, your not mulching as well, its clumping, missing grass, grass looks beat up not cut, but that's not necessarily the case. All the thing you mentioned are maybe true but they can also be caused by grass build up in your deck and may not be caused by dull blades necessarily. To find out if your blades are dull or not you need to physically inspect them. Check them to see if there sharp or not, look for nicks in the blade etc and replace if needed and if your a homeowner that uses their mower once a week I'd replace them at the beginning of every mowing season. There not that expensive for a BBS mower.
