BOSCH 22A ICON Premium Beam Wiper Blade; 22" - Single

At one point in the winter I went out to shovel my car out of one of the few storms we had only to find not one but both of my wiper blades had had the rubber torn off of the rest of the assembly, presumably from use. (They were pretty old) Since I was replacing the wipers, I was determined to find the best wipers I could for the car, and given the car spends most of its time in either Rochester, NY and Maine, that meant tough wiper blades able to withstand winter weather. Upon doing research online, I ended up narrowing it down to two different wiper blades. The Bosch ICON series, and the RainX Latitude series. Both seemed to be nearly on par with each other, though supposedly RainX has the edge (heheh... edge...) on functionality, doing a better job at squeegeeing off a windshield, but Bosch supposedly had the edge on longevity, being better able to handle tough conditions. Both are supposed to be great at both of those things in general, and ultimately I sprang for the slightly more durable Bosch blades. Since the car I currently drive is a 2000 Honda CR-V, I purchased the appropriate sizes, which in my case were 19B and 20A . (I'll be honest, I copied and pasted this review for both blades, thus I linked to both.) Taking one of the old mis-matched blades off my car was a pain as it used a rather unfriendly latching mechanism, however, putting on these Bosch ICON blades was super easy and I'm sure taking them off will be to, once I finally have to. These blades are well designed and easy to install, which is a huge plus! Once it rained and snowed, or when I got salt and dirt on my windshield and needed to wash it off, I was able to put these wipers to the test, and they did an excellent job taking the water off leaving a totally dry clear windshield! This made me quite happy and it was then I knew I made the right choice! Bugs, however, splattered on the windshield... most wipers struggle with those, these seem to be no exception as far as I can tell, however, I can't say that with 100% certainty as I only ran into bugs after a certain incident. On my way from New York to Maine, someone seemed not to have liked that I was passing them and a truck in front of them. They sped up, cut me off, and splashed a liquid out the window that I assumed was water. When it landed on my windshield, I turned on the wipers and they did take it off the windshield... but then I noticed black marks where my wipers had started to dissolve. This guy splashed acetone or some other solvent on my car on the highway. My less than a month old super high quality wipers. And they left marks in the clear coat on the hood. Needless to say I was very upset... The wipers seem to still work just as well, so that is a testament to just how durable these wipers are, however it is the reason that I can't say with 100% certainty that they don't normally have issues with bugs. Some time a few months later, I was on a trip with my father and we had to purchase new wiper blades for his truck on the fly. I recommended the Bosch ICON series, and we went in to the auto-store to get them, because we really did need them right then, and they were quite expensive. (Rightfully so.) I think he ended up going for a cheaper, but still good, Bosch blade. It wasn't as easy to mount and it didn't seem as nice, and it was about the same as what I paid for these blades online, so I DEFINITELY recommend you purchase these from Amazon as they're actually a really good deal here. Another note is that my family does tend to go for higher quality blades, even though are vehicles are far from high quality, (because seeing is important) and they can last probably a couple years if they're really good. I had always taken this for granted until I was talking to my roommate who says he replaces his wipers about twice a year. This is yet another reason I recommend high quality blades. You really do get your money's worth in the long run. Over all, I am extremely satisfied with these wiper blades and I would most certainly recommend them to anyone who wants super durable blades!

These work incredibly well very easy to install, quality materials and fit. Being made by Bosch I expect them to be very durable as well.

This purchase is my second pair of these wipers, used on two different vehicles. On both cars, they were simple to install, and do a great job of clearing rain from.the windshield without streaking, hopping or smearing. The first set I bought are still going strong after being in use for over 12 years. Pricy wipers, but fit, quality and durability are all excellent.

These wiper blades fit my 2023 MINI Cooper perfectly. They swipe clean and silently. I've only had them for a month, so I cannot comment on longevity. I will update the review if they don't last.

It works perfectly with a 2021 Subaru Forester Sport using adapter #6. However swapping the adapter is a pain and requires pulling the pre-attached adapter really hard off the wiper while pinning it to a flat surface, something which was not clear in the written instructions.

Great quality and durability. Super easy to install and gives it a nice quality look as well. Compared several brands and was very happy with my purchase. They are a little pricier than others but definitely worth it.

Great quality. Easy to install. Cleans perfectly. Long lasting.

These are the best wipers I've ever used. The latching mechanism is more secure than the traditional ones. My previous set lasted over 2 winters. Usually I get one winter out of most blades. Parts store didn't have this size, It's that time of year everyone needs new blades .
