I have been using Valeo wiper blades on all my vehicles for the past 5+ years. Occasionally, I will try another brand of beam-type blades just to see if anyone else has figured out how to do it right. I have yet to find any other brand that works as well, or lasts as long as Valeo. I live in Colorado where we have 4 actual seasons, and these blades work well in all of them. I typically get about 2 years out of a set. Like most wiper blades, they do last longer if you clean them with alcohol 3 to 4 times a year.

I'm not sure how many sets of these I've had now, but I used them exclusively on my last car, my current car, and bought them for both my brothers and my mom. They do provide exceptional quality wiping...at first. However I've always had to replace mine after only about 6 months due to streaking. This was usually ok because the price wasn't too bad, but then with the last set they did away with the buy one get one free deal. In addition to costing more, they don't seem to have held up as well. My last set lasted 7 months through the winter. This set lasted 5 months through a summer where it probably rained all of 5 times. I think I'm going to shop around for other reviews before deciding whether or not to buy these again.

These are the best wiper blades I've ever seen.
Before buying these wiper blades in fall of 2006, I was using OEMs. They typically lasted for 4 months, and it wasn't fun replacing them that often. Finally I've decided to try something more expensive, and after looking at all options at Tirerack I've chosen these, pretty much because they look cool. It turned out to be my best investment ever! I never ever had to change the wiper blades on my car since then. Almost 6 years of use, and only now they've started showing signs of wear. This isn't a result of limited usage: I live in Seattle area, it rains here almost 300 days a year, and I drove over 50K miles since I bought them.
