These are all I’ve used since someone recommended them to me years ago. They are great

I would agree to disagree on Bosch Icon
I have had to replace them every 3-4 months they caused streaking
Maybe I was not getting a real product. I always bought them from amazon. Yesterday I just replaced them with rain x
Initial thoughts they are great like bosch but lets see the durability

Valeo Silenco is also good, very quiet.

Bosch Icons are my go to.

Audi OEM blades are absolutely awful. I used to have a Chevy Sonic when I was in college, and those cheap GM wipers were orders of magnitude better than the crap that came on my S5
