 No complaints, streaks, or squeaks! May 22, 2008

I ordered the Bosch 19" and 21" wipers for my 2002 Honda Civic [...]. I probably would've never considered trying Bosch windshield blades otherwise, but I'm so happy I did.
With my previous blades that I got during an oil change at a quick-lube shop, I got a lot of streaking and squeaking whenever I used them. Every time I encountered a rain storm, I had to abide the same consistent, annoying noise if I didn't want to compromise my own safety. It was very difficult to bear.
Even after I pulled the trigger on buying the blades, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to install them on my car because of my lack of automotive know-how. When they came, however, my worries went away. The Bosch blade package showed me how to remove my old blades and how to install the new ones. It was a piece of cake. The only problem? They came individually in two separate boxes that were HUGE. What a waste of packing material, Amazon! :(
Back to the blades: How do they function? Beautifully! I streamed washer fluid onto my windshield and it cleaned it away with no streaking and no noise whatsoever.
What better testimonial can I give than I decided to buy another pair for my partner? They work wonderfully - get them now!
Expensive but Worth It June 18, 2008

My 03 Jetta had been eating wiper blades at the rate of about a set every 3-4 weeks and at $10 a piece for the other brands like Anco, etc., they become quite the burden. The noise from the cheaper brands is irritating as well. So, back to these Bosch wipers, which I invested in at first for the rebate offered awhile back. These wipers install in 15 seconds or less (takes longer to get them out of the package), versus the others that require a lot more effort. They're quiet and clean the glass very well as others have noted. I haven't had them long enough to speak to durability, but the heavy rubber, minus the standard metal bracketing should make these Boschs last much, much longer in comparison. Note to Amazon - find a smaller package to ship these things in. I had one wiper per box, each box measuring about 28"x16"x8", with yards of brown paper stuffing included. [...]
Excellent Blade June 9, 2008

I bought these blades for my 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. The ease of installation was amazing and they don't leave a streak on the windshield at all.
 Chinese wipers, where will it end? June 19, 2008
Ralph Porter (central NY)
I purchased two sets, one for my Toyota tundra, and one for my VW Jetta, They wipe cleaner and match the windshield contour better on the tundra, and are comparable to other high end wipers. I was disappointed to see that they are made in CHINA. I had hoped for better from Bosch. If they are made cheaper, why don't they sell for less?
 Enormous shipping Boxes June 27, 2008

If you buy 2 blades, you get 2 enormous Boxes with 1 blade in each box.
Shame on AMAZON :-(
