I've bought the cheapest from Wally World & the better, not best, from them & they pretty much all are shot in a year. I finally decided that I just have to replace them every year at this time. I saw some cheap at Costco, $7.99 maybe, so I think I'll get them next.
Good luck. |

Agreed. I've never seen any noticeable difference between the $25 wipers and the $4 dollar wipers, they all wear out fast in MN winters. I buy the $4 ones.

Fair enough.
With the winter here, whatever I buy will be dead by spring, anyway... |

Same experiences here too. They all last the same.
I will say that I bought two of the cheap Menards ones, they don't make good windshield contact in the center. Never had this problem before.. Will NOT be buying them again.

Bosch ICON have been the best for me The cheap ones would last maybe 3 to 4 months on my semi tractor and just not work for shit. Bosch lasted 2 years. In the end The cost was near the same. Lots of cheap ones or one time bosch.

I get the next-second-most expensive from NAPA (not the top of the line). Buy them in October when they have their big sale. Easily last a full year, excellent results. More expensive than I like, but worth it in the long run.
I've never gotten more than a year out of any wipers. Ever. The heat is what kills them. |

Otherwise your blades will be shot the first time that they're run over the ice. If you're out in an ice storm & it's sticking to the windshield, there's no choice so you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the windshield clear. Good luck Zap. |
