 Wiper works Well December 27, 2009

I used these to replace generic bracketless wipers I purchased at a warehouse club. The wipers from the club were horrible. The Valeos worked as I had hoped. No fuss, no muss, just click, install, go.
It's fit in my car and it works well. December 19, 2009

I bought this item when it was promotion.
It's fit in my car. Very easily replaced and works smooth when raining.
Just works! June 16, 2010

I was wondering what the advantage I would get with a "premium" blade, apparently, this product works well, and is still going strong. For the price, I could not ask more.

This blade is being used on the passenger's side front windshield. It installed much easier than 'regular' blades I've used before-no pulling, pushing, and wiggling to get it to fully snap into the wiper arm. It does not contact the glass all along the blade as it should but does a very good job of cleaning water off very quickly. The only area where it misses is the far right bottom of the wiping area, it's about a 3inch wide by 3inch tall area that it misses completely due to the windshield being curved. It's not an area that you really look through, but a 'regular' blade wipes there. I'll have to wait to see how it handles snow, ice and slush.

Quality Wiper, 2nd Set I've Bought During 2 for 1 Promo February 21, 2010
Rick Raymo (NorEaster)
These clean my window better, and with less streaking than any premium blades I've owned. Period. They work well in rain, snow, ice, mizzle, and fog that condenses.
My only quibble is that the blade doesn't quite nail the upper right corner of my windshield--as its bracketless one-piece design works like a champ in all but that spot.
Now--I don't look through the top inch on the upper right much--if at all.
For the pricepoint and the ability of the wiper. I'll buy them each time I see a two for one at a reasonable price whether I need new blades or not. The first set was installed six months before winter started and has not needed replacement yet. That (with the winter and salt we've had) is a near perfect review in and of itself. Cleaning and not streaking or squeaking nine months into heavy usage and ice up the wazzoo? What's not to like.
