The test results on that video don't take into account the aerodynamics of the wipers. There are many that I've used that wanted to fly at higher speeds. Others push harder and clean better at higher speeds. Then again, no e of them will do a good job when your windshield is covered with bug guts.

The Trico one-piece/frameless has worked well for me so far. I like this better because it snows here and there are no joints to get caked and frozen up. I still usually replace at least my driver's side (26-inch, passenger 16) yearly.

In my experience Toyota OEM wiper blades outlast the rest by far.

Cant speak to the other OEM brands, but I just put my first replacement set on my 2014 truck which is exposed to a lot of snow and ice and I probably could have gotten another year out of them.

I would say that the Bosch Icon is second best.

I agree. Down here in the South Florida sun. Just about any brand of wiper starts performing less after 6 months. I usually get a year out of wipers before changing them.

^^^^^^
Yep. South Mississippi same deal. I do like to see when I drive in the tropical deluges we get.

Rain X Latitude wiper blades, they do a great job, and I usually get about a year out of them if not longer.

Along with Rain X washer fluid and the paint and glass sealant, rain, sleet and snow are no match.

Rain-X, apply 1 coat let dry apply 2nd coat let dry then rinse with water and buff dry applied about every 3 months. I very seldom need to run the wipers!!!

Bosch icon here as well

For really long wipers I like the Napa heavy duty that have metal frames.

For normal vehicles I like the good Rain-x wipers or OEM. It's really hard to go wrong with OEM when it comes to wipers.

I bought Bosch Icon for a vehicle last winter based on this thread. Extremely happy. I just bought a pair for the other vehicle and will install in the next few weeks as the rainy season should start soon. OEM wipers are 3 years old this weekend and one side is not fantastic. So replacing both

I had them dang RainX Latitude turds and they squeaked/did the jitterbug since day one, unless it was reallyREALLY wet. After 6 months I fired them.

Yesterday I replaced with the cheapest WalMart Ansco pair (totaled under $9) and they worked without any issue today.

Bosch Icon when I lived in Washington.
Now I don’t use them enough to care.
