 Exceptional so far - double check your vehicle size October 22, 2009
M. Timmins (Gurnee, IL USA)
Purchased two sets, one set for a Lexus GS and the other for a 99 Expedition. I used the part-finder on Amazon to ensure size-match. The Lexus matched up perfectly to the OEM parts but the Ford was incorrect (too short.) MEASURE YOUR BLADES and double-check the part finder. I thought that the uniqueness of this wiper required the shorter blade, but, when installed, it's obvious the blades were incorrect (the Bosch site recommended the same 20" length for the Expedition. which was a huge visual distraction since the overall field of view was significantly diminished.) Amazon took the return no questions asked. I replaced the 20" blades with a 24" set...perfect.
PROS: Installation is very simple and they look great on the vehicles. Performance is exceptional...no streaks, no chatter, and they're very quiet compared to the OEM blades they replaced. Very satisfied with their performance thus far.
CONS: Cost - I wouldn't have considered these blades if there wasn't a $15 MIR. However, if they hold this level of performance, longer, they may prove to be a good value...time will tell.
Best wipers I've owned August 17, 2009

I live in AZ, so I don't see a whole lot of rain, but during monsoon season it can rain considerably hard. These wipers work perfectly. They are fully functional and very quiet. Highly recommended!

Gotta love elegant engineering, and the minute you see the way these blades are packaged, you can begin to appreciate the thought that has gone into this product.
I had ordered a set of Siltech blades, but sent them right back when I saw the sack full of cheapo arm adapters of the "one-size-kinda-fits-all " ilk.
The Bosch Icons came ready to mount. Took less than two minutes to install them both.
They work perfectly, no smearing, no chatter. They are a tad pricey, but if I get year's worth of decent service out of them I'll be happy.
 Good until they fall apart. December 23, 2008

My wipers were starting to die so I decided to go all out and buy nice new ones for my car. Read lots of really good reviews so I decided to get these top of the line Bosch Icon wiper blades. I disregarded the poor reviews because of all the good ones out there. Bad mistake.
They worked wonderfully for about a month and then the drivers side started to streak. Not too long after the passengers side started to streak. Decided not to make a big deal out of it so I got the drivers side replaced and left the streaky passengers side. Worked again for about a week and while driving in a big rain storm the drivers side is streaking very poorly again. Just got both sides replaced again.
Whats bad is that these steak in really fine lines so they are really distracting.
When these die out I'll just get the cheapo inserts again. Maybe I just got bad batches but I'm not going to deal with these again.
Great Blades December 8, 2008
Joann E. Warton-eyers (Lakewood CA)
These are the best blades! I have already changed my blades once and was not very happy with the manufacturer's replacements as they weren't very efficient and had to replaced every year. These blades have a much better profile and work much better than my previous blades. They also coat the windshield with a silicone that makes rain just glide off, making visiability much better.
