 Nice price for nice quality August 29, 2010

I bought these to replace my aging wipers, they are not too bad. better than the traditionals that don't hug your windshield.
 Wiper flew away on the middle of highway July 24, 2010
Gang Li
Bought a few in different sizes when they are on sale for half price. The ones that are still on work good for now, but I'm feeling unsafe already. This one 18" wiper flew away in the middle of highway off my son's car. It's put on a couple of months ago, so, it's almost new, and he doesn't drive much. The rain was just a few drops as he said, I was thinking that maybe the windshield was too dry at that time. Only noticed couple of days ago people had the same problem with the 19" blade of this brand, now it happened to us. This should never happen. Even those very cheap wipers are metally strong enough to hold on. This really give me very unsafe feeling about this brand. Well, we put on another 18" bought together last time, and we'll see if it stays on. If this thing happens again. I'll totally give up on them and replace them with all the metal framed wipers.
 Just works! June 16, 2010

I was wondering what the advantage I would get with a "premium" blade, apparently, this product works well, and is still going strong. For the price, I could not ask more.
Quality Wiper, 2nd Set I've Bought During 2 for 1 Promo February 21, 2010
Rick Raymo (NorEaster)
These clean my window better, and with less streaking than any premium blades I've owned. Period. They work well in rain, snow, ice, mizzle, and fog that condenses.
My only quibble is that the blade doesn't quite nail the upper right corner of my windshield--as its bracketless one-piece design works like a champ in all but that spot.
Now--I don't look through the top inch on the upper right much--if at all.
For the pricepoint and the ability of the wiper. I'll buy them each time I see a two for one at a reasonable price whether I need new blades or not. The first set was installed six months before winter started and has not needed replacement yet. That (with the winter and salt we've had) is a near perfect review in and of itself. Cleaning and not streaking or squeaking nine months into heavy usage and ice up the wazzoo? What's not to like.
Not what I expected for a "premium" wiper blade February 10, 2010
J. Young (SF Bay Area)
The original driver's side Valeo wiper I received was streaky. I had to call and ask for a replacement (and return the original) and even the replacement was a little streaky. I'm disappointed in this brand. I've used Bosch and other premium blades before and never had this problem (but some other brands didn't seem to last very long).
