Installation of new Valeo Premium bracketless wiper blade was every bit as easy as installing older, original equipment wipers. Today, during a nasty, wind-blown storm I put them to the test. These imports from Mexico performed admirably. I don't think they could've done any better job than they did. They are every bit as good, and maybe better than any previous blade including Anco, which is very impressive. The bracketless design also means that changing over to Winter blades each season is now no longer required; there are no wiper bracket openings for ice to build up in and thereby reduce windshield contact. Hopefully, this level of performance will last many months. I purchased them during an Amazon buy-one, get-one deal. I love Amazon, but I noticed that the Valeo bracketless design is virtually identical to the made-in-USA bracketless Goodyear Assurance blades. And the Goodyear cost less than Valeos at Amazon, but the Goodyears cost only about $8 (currently) in Costco.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance in the rain, January 13, 2010

This review is from: Valeo U-21 Gen2 Premium All-Season Bracketless Wiper Blade - 21", Pack of 1 (Automotive)

I put these on my old Nissan and they work admirably in the rain and the "after-rain" time when there's dirty water on the road which gets sprayed onto your windshield by cars in front. They are completely jitter-free which wasn't the case with the more expensive wipers I had on before. They wipe VERY well, even during the first few raindrops when the dust on the windshield gets wet and the wipers spread it across and obscures the view which used to happen with my old wipers. These wipers wipe the dirt clean off and I've never had any problems ever.

They are not completely streak-free as claimed, I do see a couple of faint streaks but it's nothing compared to any of the wipers I've used before. I remember spending 15 or 20 per blade on another brand and seeing huge streaks immediately after I put them on, but these aren't anywhere close to distracting. You have to look closely against light at certain angles to see the streaks. They don't leave any water on the windshield at all (which some of my other "new" wipers did previously because they didn't "fit" snug with the windshield).

I ordered a few more of these for backup at these prices. To summarize, these are the best wipers I've ever used, period. Get 'em when they're on sale!

The blades are really good in the rain but the best part is the heavy snow - no skips and they clear the glass very well.
