BOSCH 18CA Clear Advantage Beam Wiper Blade; 18" - Single

Ease of installation, great performance and because they last it’s a great value for money.

I have heard so many bad things about beam wiper blades, so I had been staying away from them. My factory wiper blades were the best, streak-free and quiet, they lasted for about a year. And then I switched to Rain-X Weatherbeaters. They were not bad, performed well, but the rubber failed in less than a year and they did require more cleaning. I know that you're supposed to replace them every 6 months or so, but I usually love stretching their lifespan and testing out the 1.5 safety factors. And then there's Michelin, I will never get Michelin again because they were noisy from day 1, and could not keep the blade consistently on the screen, after about 6-7 months, I gave up and I switched to this one, a beam blade which I did not really want to get into. And I didn't know what I was missing out! These are great, a little more expensive but great. I am hoping that they will last at least a year but we will see. My criteria is simple : Streak free, quiet, lasts more than a year, and doesn't require a lot of cleaning. I will update this review again when I am replacing them.

I am VERY happy with these wiper blades. They are a great value! Cost: The same or cheaper than other blades. Fantastic value for what you are paying. Performance: Installation was a breeze. No issues at all installing these blades and they are a lot les chunky than other metal framed blades. They hug the windshield nicely and left absolutely no streaks. I replaced these before a road trip and it rained all 4 days that I was driving. I was happy with the performance the entire trip. Even with all the nasty dirt and bugs from the trip, the blades never left a streak or smudge. Next time I need blades, I will be replacing with the same.

I was pleasantly surprised. Great price for great wipers. Replaced the old ones just in time for a big rain storm and the difference was impressive. No streaking, quiet, clear and clean wipe. They did squeak for the first 5 minutes or so, but now they are as quiet as can be. Will purchase again and recommend to others.

I bought many wiper sets over the years, and the last set was Rain-X, which was a huge mistake. The wipers were installed correctly and would come off if there was any bit of ice on the windshield. The reason why I bought these blades is because I was driving, turned on my wipers, and finally lost one going 55 mph. These, on the other hand, installed easily and appear to be solid. They work well, don't streak, and we'll see how long they'll last.
