 where the rubber meets the road Oct 19, 2007
By Rosemary Thornton
"Niece of Addie Hoyt Fargo (age 29)"
For more than 30 years, I've searched high and low for the perfect wiper blade. Being a little tiny bit obsessive about my car, one of the things I can NOT tolerate is a chattering, noisy, smeary, streaky wiper blade. Driving in the rain is hard enough without feeling like you're trying to look through a wax-paper windshield.
In the past, I'd put new wiper blades on my car two or three times a year and sometimes more, just to make sure I never had to deal with wiper smear or worse, wiper chatter. That sound is like fingernails on a blackboard to me!!
I'd also clean the rubber edge several times between blade changes, to keep the leading edge clean and free from debris and gooey tree gunk and junk. Due to my desire to keep the finest quality blades on the car, I'd only buy authentic Toyota blades for my 2003 Camry and then one day...
An associate at the local Toyota dealer talked me into buying the rubber inserts for the blades, rather than the whole blade assembly. For 20 minutes, I waited and watched as she fiddled around trying desperately to get the inserts into the arm assembly. Two days later (and 10 minutes of use later), while driving in a light rain storm, the whole thing came apart in pieces, scratching my windshield in the process. It was a Sunday afternoon (dealer was closed), so I drove directly to the auto parts store and told them I wanted the most expensive wiper-blade they sold. They took me to the Bosch Icon and said, "these are the best, but they're pricey."
These blades have been on my car for three months and I think I have found the perfect wiper blade. They're quiet, chatter-free and each swipe of the blade is more like a squeegee has just moved across the glass. Every now and then a little piece of debris gets under the blade, but two or three passes later, and we're back to clean swipes.
I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and performance of this product. The two blades I bought for Cammie cost less than $50 which isn't THAT much contrasted against the frustration of not being able to see clearly through the windshield when it rains.
I will never again buy another brand of wiper blade. The Bosch Icon wipes and swipes cleanly and perfectly each time. And above all, it's quiet! The only downside is that they are funny looking. But that's a small problem contrasted against the great joy of having a good quality wiper.

 JUNK! Feb 01, 2011
By C. Mitchell
I like and use Bosch wiper blades, but these pieces of JUNK are a JOKE. They DO NOT deal with winter snow and slush and sleet well.
Bosch is pretending that eliminating the open girder (spring frame) work of traditional wiper blades will suddenly yield value by sparing us from having blade ice up, but these blades still accumulate and carry ice crusts and, WORST OF ALL, cease to apply proper uniform pressure to wipe the windscreen!
I'm going back to traditional blades.

Best wiper blades Jul 03, 2010
By Culinary Creations
These have to be the best wiper blades on the market. I had purchased them for my previous car a couple of years ago, and now that my newer vehicle was needing wipers, of course I wanted Bosch Icons. But, they must be pretty popular, because they are always sold out at the local retailers. Luckily for me I found them here on Amazon, ordered them Sunday and they arrived today (Friday), even after the seller said there would be a delay because they were awaiting their shipment. I put them on right away, and they work like a dream. My windshield is so clear it looks as if it has been replaced as well. Don't waste your time or money on other wipers, get these and rest assured that you'll always have a streak free finish on bad weather days. They were super easy to install by myself, and I am girly-girl. Didn't even break a nail!

ICON Blades + Rain-Ex = Clear Windshield Aug 27, 2007
By R. Dewees

I've had these blades for a few weeks and a couple of heavy rains and have been very happy with their performance. I Rain-Ex'ed my windshield when I installed them (which makes a huge difference), and they leave not a trace of water.
Bosch Icon Wiper Feb 11, 2011
By K. Estes
I heard about these wiper blades from my son. He was so sold on them I had to try them. They work better then any blade I've used in all my years of driving.
