Much better than Bosch wipers

These work much better than the Bosch wipers I purchased only 6 months ago.  Only downside is the price.

The Bosch ICON wiper blades are by far the best blades I have ever tried.  They are extremely flexible so they conform nicely to the windshield and leave no streaks.  They have been on my 3 vehicles for over a year and are still performing well.

Ive been using Bosch Icon blades for about 8 years now. They are the best. I tried a set of the Rain-X blades and they sucked in comparison to these. Wipe clean and clear every time and hold up great in rain snow etc. I usually only have to replace them every 3 - 4 years or so.

Excellent upgrade from the factory blades, price is right too. It only takes one swipe across my windshield to clear all the water, no streaks, and no weird splash back like I've seen other wipers do. The low profile design also makes them less noticeable from the driver's seat. Installation only took a couple minutes combined for both sides, super easy and very secure. Normally I stick to OEM wipers but these have been a huge improvement that I plan o nchanging the wipers on my other vehicles to the ICON blades as well.

I'm picky about wipers.  I expect: quiet operation, smooth glide, long life, and of course a clear view without streaks.  These are better than most in every respect, and I have tried many brands.  I have also found that the old fashioned framed wipers like these seem to do better than the frameless in some applications.

After two years of usage in Cleveland, OH, including leaving them on through winter, these wipers are finally now starting to streak and I will replace them.  They never got loud, squeaky, or chattery.  Very pleased!

These are better than the ones sold from the dealership.  However, they will make your wiper blades arms sit up about 1 inch higher.  Which on the VW means that you are actually able to seen the blades when they are not in use.

I have used the Bosch ICON wiper blades for several years now (I change them once a year) and I have been very satisfied with their quality. It's very easy to install and I especially like the minimalist design as it looks much nicer than some of the bulky wipers on the market.

I get the longest life and best performance from bosch wiper blades. They last about 6 months before their performance falls off. I have had some wiper blades last for a year or more but they don't clean as well as these. Remember to clean your windshield really well with automotive window cleaner (safe for tints). I recommend Rain-X glass cleaner.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rain-X-5071268-2-in-1-Glass-Cleaner-and-Rain-Repellant-23-fl-oz/dp/B000NWJJLG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rain-X 5071268 2-in-1 Glass Cleaner and Rain Repellant - 23 fl oz.</a>

Had these wiper blades on my last car, and they are by far the best I have used.  They contour to your windshield without pressure points like standard blades.  Great at clearing the windshield of rain and good in ice and snow.  Would highly recommend.

Works better than the more expensive Bosch and RainX brands that I used before it.  The life of the product is similar to my experiences with those of the more expensive brands but without the high price.  I haven't had any issues with them and will probably continue to use them until they either quit making them or come out with a new type that has a longer life before streaking.

Good price for Bosch brand wipers! They don't smear a bit, and work perfectly! Happy with my purchase 100%. I would recommend to anyone.

These are great wipers. I have always loved the Bosch wipers. You only really pay attention to the wiper when it's not doing it's job and these wipers never get my attention even in this messy winter weather.

I was skeptical when shopping at my local auto parts store about how much better this $25 dollar wiper blade would be vs. their standard blades. After using these blades for two rainy seasons all I can say now is wow. These blades instantly performed better than the both the factory blades and all of the other brands/types that I had tried previously. However that increase in performance alone is not what makes these wipers the best. What makes these wipers the best is how long they retain that high level of performance. Typical wiper blades start to loose performance with time as the rubber gets worn, these last much longer! If you buy these off of Amazon you are getting the best blade for a cost comparable to the cheaper ones at auto parts stores. Also, they much better than the typical blade.

For years, I had been using RainX wiper blades on all of my cars. However, on my most recent vehicle (2004 Volvo S60 T5), I bought a set and after some heavy rain for a few weeks, the blades were already toast. I couldn't find the receipt (oops) so I couldn't easily return them. I did some research to see what other options were out there, and came across the Bosch Icons.

Worth noting: The 2001-2004 Volvos are listed as incompatible. This is simply not true. You just need to get the 421 (passenger) and 424 (driver) series blades. The only difference between A and B is the wind spoiler on the blades themselves, so I get the 421A and 424A blades for my car.

Immediately, you'll notice these blades work GREAT. There's zero chatter, no streaking and only a clean windshield ahead. By far, they are the best blades I have ever used. And since they have no frame, they work in the winter and the summer, regardless of climate/snow/rain/etc.

However, they will start to smear after awhile (once they start to "go"). At first, they'll be "smudgey" when it's a light rain, but when they get more water on them, they clean the glass fine, even with light rain. So they do get finicky about getting dirty. I suggest wiping them down whenever you notice this happening. Then, slowly, they'll start to smear even in the rain. On my previous set, they only smeared on the down (yuck), but not on the up. Eventually, they'll start to chatter, and you know it's time to swap.

I honestly didn't notice how long it took for them to go, but I was using my previous set of blades for 3.5 years, but they had been going for awhile. I just put it off. I'm pretty sure they were solid for a least a year or longer, possibly 2 years. I'll be paying more attention this go around.

Either way, if you want really good performance at the cost of replacing them occasionally, these blades are the ticket. I highly suggest them.

Cleans really good and comes with easy to install directions, for my Toyota Tacoma, but the outer edges of the wiper don't fully contact the glass leaving a gap of half wiped water, so it is essentially the same as a blade that is about an inch shorter.  I just installed them so I don't know about longevity, but they wipe away cleanly.  I think next time I will go back to the standard wiper design instead of the slim look so that I get full contact through the whole blade.  Overall, Bosch seems like a good brand, my windshield is just too curved for the slim blades.

My old wipers were RainX and they SUCKED!  I drive the bug-nados every morning on my way to work and RainX would simply smear their carcasses all over the windshield ... Bosch though ... WOW!  Scraps those bug guts right off!!!  Would highly recommend.

On a side note though: DO NOT USE with RainX wiper fluid - Friend of mine did that and his blades started dry rotting.  I would recommend Invisible Glass!

I can sure tell the difference after my husband installed the new Bosch wiper blades. The streaks on the windshield are gone & no more wiper blade chatter! I recommend them to anyone.
