The Bosch Icon has a sleeker looking mount than the RainX.

Personally, I replace my blades every 6 months so I don't really care what wiper blades I get. They get cleaned off when I wash the car and I keep Rain-X on the windows. They get replaced before summer and before winter. At that rate, I can get inexpensive Anco blades and not care.

And Costco only has a defined return period for electronics. If one wanted too, they could return them every x number of months and get a new pair

No one uses PIAA silicon wipers? I've been using them for about 12 years now. They last forever and never smear and never make noise.

I also have used the RainX Latitudes for about 5 years now. The OEM's on my car I haven't used yet but 99% sure when I need more I am going with the RainX's

nothing has a lower profile than oem. Look at how it mounts on the side, not the top.

I just dropped $60 on a set of wipers. I could have bought inserts for $20, but after almost 4 years, the blade structure was looking drab and dull.

These new blades look awesome.

Living in Western New York can really take a tole on windshield wipers. Up until this year, I have used two pair per year to ensure clear vision. Typically one set from March/April until November, and the second pair through the Winter. I had even purchased a windshield wiper renewal gimmick tool that was a complete waste.

This year has been different. I just looked, on February 6th, 2014 I purchased Valeo 900-XX-1B Frameless ULTIMATE All-Season Wiper. Through the one of the hardest ,coldest Winters in a long time, these wipers are still going strong. There are no streaks from the wipers yet and it was not until I read this thread did I realize how well they have stood up. The overall profile is sleek and clean as opposed to the rainX on my wife's MDX. One clip easy on/off. I have no desire to change them yet.
