I have a 2002 Nissan Frontier...and I had trouble for several years to find blades that didnt skip and/or make noise. I tried MANY! I finally ordered these at Amazon last winter. THEY ARE AWESOME! The best Ive ever used. Clean, clear, quiet, and quite nice looking as well! I suggest them for anyone!! Im getting more for all my vehicles!!!

Based on recommendations, and the $15 promo rebate, I gave this product a try. My Subaru Forester takes a 19" on the passenger side and 22" on the driver side. The driver side wiper is still in play after three weeks (and works well enough), but the 19" only lasted a couple days. Basically until the first snow storm after installation. The plastic part that connects the metal arm to the wiper blade broke flinging the blade off the car. At least it happened in our driveway. Just not sure why it happened, which means I now carry a spare for the 22" in case it should fail.

For the premium price they charge, I expected a more durable product. Back to my $9 multiple-contact-point, locally available wiper blades.

I will never use old stock wiper blades again. These are simply amazing, and have stood up extremely well to a variety of weather conditions.

I have had these blades on both of my cars for almost 11 months now. I am very happy not only with their performance in rain/snow, but in their durability. These are more expensive than regular wiper refills, but I will never go back.

Valeo claims a tighter fit to the glass, eliminating the streaks or missed wiping. All blades perform well here for some time, but after freezing, heat, etc. they all fail. I live in Pittsburgh and these went through the winter of 2010 where we had over 34 inches of snow in a few days, low temps, and a hot summer. After 10+ months, both sets of these blades remain tight to the window with good performance. I honestly don't know when they will fail and need to be replaced.

Never going back to old blades. Valeo truly has a better product here.

UPDATE: It is now 17 months and two Pittsburgh winters since installing these and just had to change them in one of my cars. The other car's blades are still performing well.

Works great. Still haven't got any breakage on the holder on the 19". lasted 3 months already. I can't comment on the longevity, but 3 months is worth it for me.

The wiper works well altho it steaks one hairline streak across my window. It may just need to get wiped off, not sure yet. the wipers work well and are quiet. The package however - came in all broken up. thankfully the blade was small enough where as it did not damage the product.

I purchased these blades on Amazon.com in November. They have a 30 day return policy, then you have to deal with the company. When you call Valeo at 888-71-VALEO (82536) your press the key for the wiper department. I clicked on the Contact Us link and conveniently it is not working. The blades themselves keep the window clean without streaking, but I have only had them for 2 months. Today during a snow storm I turned the wipers on and the housing clips snapped. I would think they would put the same technology into the clips they put into the actual blade. For the price I expected much more in terms of quality and workmanship. I would not recommend these blades for anyone that has to deal with snow or ice. I subsequently spoke to the customer service department and although they did not have these same blades in stock, he did recommend another type and will be sending me a new pair. Good Customer Service. Customer service is what keeps customers coming back, they should just make the mounting hardware stronger on the U-19 blades.

Initially performed well. Works good in wet weather. But, for light snow, leaves streaks, and can get noisey.

These are really good wiper blades compared to others that I've tried. I think you can get these at Wal-mart for a comparative price, but I didn't want to wait in line and ordered them through Amazon. The blades made a clean, quiet wipe so far. I've had them for about 3 weeks now. Recommended.

I bought these wiper blades like many other reviewers during a buy one get one free promotion. They perform very well, even during the recent heavy snows we have gotten, and I would give them five stars if it were based on performance alone. Unfortunately these wiper blades are fairly expensive and as another reviewer suggested the Goodyear Assurance and Bosch Evolution blades both perform comparably and I have seen both for less money.
