There is only so much one can say about windshield wipers so this will be short and to the point. They are whisper quiet wipers and clean extremely well, streak free. Installation was simple but took a little force to clip them in. I also ordered a small 13" wiper for the rear hatch. The rear, however, doesn't seem to make contact w. the window on the upper end but it still cleans well. Hoping it will settle down over time. Did my research on Consumer Reports and they rated these the best w. the RainX Latitude a very close second. However, the Rain X received some criticism when used in the snow by Amazon customers. For the most part CR said these wipers, as well as all others tested, are only good for about 3 to six months w. regular usage. Overall, very pleased.

This wiper blade has been rated by Consumer Reports as a "best buy" and I wanted to test it. It has out performed ALL the wiper blades I have ever used--leaving almost no streaks. It is bothersome that I can't purchase the blades from any local Auto store. Amazon does carry them--good for you!

-Streak Free, Perfectly Clear Wiping
-Whisper Quiet
-Performs Great 11+ Months

Apparently you are supposed to replace your wipers every 6 months. I try to stretch that as long as possible, and these have been performing great for about a year. Very little dip in performance from when I first installed them. I could hold out for another 3 months.
Keep in mind, I store my car outside year-round, with 4 months of snow and ice.

One caveat: The plastic clip used to secure the wiper broke while I was cleaning ice off of it. I was being a tad too rough with it. Just remember to be gentle.

This wiper blade lives up to its reputation. I researched wiper blades on consumer reports which stated that Valero makes the best wiper blades. In previous purchases of wiper blades I had spent up to $10 more per blade and was disatisfied over a period of time with the rubber to glass contact. Not so with these blades. Good job Valero!

I was looking to purchase a pair of wipers. I wanted something inexpensive, reliable, and durable. I got exactly what I was looking for in this product. I've had these wipers for a little over 3 months now and so far so good. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase new wipers'.

I got these to replace my old Rain-X blades (one 21", one 22"). I like the Rain-X ones, but these were rated a little higher so I thought I would give them a try. The first time I used them they streaked quite a bit. When I got home I cleaned my windshield because I thought that might help. It did help, but there was still a little streaking. It was not very bad and I would not return them for it, but I expect no streaking at all from new blades so I was a little disappointed, especially since they were a few dollars more than other blades. I would not say these are bad blades, but I will probably go with another brand next time.

Bought these for my 1997 chevy van, installed them in August 2010. Wanted to wait to post a review until after a summer and winter cycle in Wisconsin, and can now say so far so good! No streaking, no squeaking, and very clean sweep. Installation was a challenge, but it's me, not the wiper blade - I always seem to have to relearn how simple it is to change wiper blades.

Nothing special here. It's a decent looking windshield wiper that does what it's supposed to. Not quite as modern looking as my last wipers (Bosch), but they do the trick, they're inexpensive, and supposedly they are durable.

Checked the internet and these wipers came out on top in recent tests so I ordered them. The price was great and the shipping was quick. I have been using them for several weeks and I am thrilled with the quality of the wiping. The only negative was the lack of directions on how to install them. I'm very mechanical but it took me nearly 10 minutes to figure out how to install them. I had to put the old ones back on and take them off to figure it out. A video would have been worth AFV. The instructions were useless. Cost them a star in the review. I would recommend the wipers and order them again even with the poor instructions.

These are the best wipers I have ever used. They look very ordinary, but they are not ordinary wipers at all. The rubber on them seems excellent, I even made a mistake by starting them on a frozen windshield, and after I removed the ice from the windshield they "recovered". They are completely silent and they work great. $11 is a bargain for these wipers.
