Valeo Premium??
By J. Beaulieu

These blades are inferior to both Rain-X Latitude and Bosch Icon blades. They are not as heavy duty as the aforementioned blades and don't clear the window as well. I won't be buying them again no matter how good the deal seems.
You can not beat the price
By Timothy E. Varvais

Amazon was running a deal of buy one get one free with the sale price...need I say more. Still, they are made really well and have stood up to a tough mid-west winter with stellar performance through rain, sleet, snow, and those ice-over-windshield mornings that I did not bother getting the scraper out for. I would definitely buy them again.
Works Well

For the price (heavily discounted when purchased), the wipers work great. There were no problems installing them on the vehicle and they have been working flawlessly since installation. Highly recommended.
Not Great on All vehicles or seasons

I, too, bought these wipers when they were buy one get from free, I bought a couple sets, both for compact cars, specifically a 2001 honda civic and a 96 hyundai accent. I bought the proper sizes and they fit well and look sleek, the problem I found (at least on these compact car windshields) is that without the bracket, this wiper cannot form as well to the curvature of a compact vehicle windshield, causing it to miss a section in the middle or out at the end. I have witnessed similar wipers preform well on truck windshields, so I was disappointed with my purchase. I live Maine and it is very cold right now, maybe these will make great summer wipers (so I hope) if they flex better in the summer temperatures. They certainly won't be working in the winter (despite the all season advertisement). I had to go buy some Anco winter blades, which work Great! I'm not sure if my problem with with the style wiper or if it can be attributed to the brand, maybe rain-x would have performed better. But, this is all what I have found, I hope this review at least somewhat helpful!
Tested with friendly Chicago winter weather

Well, I bought a pair of these blades for both of my vehicles, and they've now been tested in winter weather. The blades themselves seem to handle very well with standard rain, although they suffer from the same problems of standard blades when it comes to a cold windshield with snow. Ultimately they will streak a bit with snow and ice, at least until the defroster has completely warmed up the windshield.
Also, on both vehicles the passenger side blades hang off the windshield a little bit. It's not too noticable, but it's worth mentioning.
