I have always used Bosch Icon's on my vehicles. Never had a problem with them. I usually get 2 yrs out of them. The trick is cleaning off the rubber in the blade with glass cleaner. Road grim, tree sap and bird poop will make the blade not perform well. Also for the states that receive Snow and Ice. Clean off with your gloves. Turning them on with ice build up will pull off the rubber off the blade......I have Bosch on all three of the vehicle's and no problems....
