Worst Blades
By Jamie Olk (New York)  |  March 3, 2010
Put these blades on my 2005 Altima, and was VERY disappointed. Since I usually put the Valeo Ultimate blades on my car I figured I would give these a try. The results were horrible, they lifted while driving, streaked and missed about 1/4 of the windshield. Would get better results with the cheap blades from wal mart

Ok, but not great...
By Jason (Detroit, MI)  |  February 23, 2010
I Purchased these thinking they would go above and beyond the cheap ones. They are better, you can see a slight difference, don't get me wrong, but NOT worth the price. My review is based on performance, I will have to see if they last longer. Amazon is selling them for 17.98. I would pay half that price, no more.

Valeo Gen2 Premium wiper blade
By Jon (Tulsa, OK USA)  |  January 29, 2010
The Valeo Gen2 bracketless blades work fine on the driver side windshield and rear window, no better than the $8.50 bracketed rain-x wipers. On the passenger side the last 2.5 to 3 inches of the wiper blade doesn't make contact with the windshield until the wiper arm is 1/3 of the way up the windshield.

I have had these blades on my Chevy Silverado and Honda Odyssey for the last 2 months. They seem to be holding up ok but I can see wear and they have started to streak. I don't beleive these blades will last any longer than cheaper bracket blades. I will admit they do accumulate less ice build up when driving in snow and ice conditions. I guess if you live way up North it would make a difference but living in the middle of the country where we may get snow 2 to 3 times a year I can't justify the cost difference especially since the last 2.5 to 3 inches of the passenger side blades don't make contact with the windshield until the wiper arm is 1/3 of the way up the windshield.

Works fine
By LaoFuZhe (Ohio)  |  January 27, 2010
The wiper blade works fine as expected. Need to wait to find out how durable the wiper blade refills to make a final assessment.
