Review on πŸš— Bosch Automotive MicroEdge 40722A Wiper Blade - 22" (Pack of 1): Superior Quality for Clear Windshield Vision by Michael Nard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fooled me twice. Stay away from Bosch or you'll be a fool too.

I'm going to be unusually blunt about this product because this isn't the first time I've been dissatisfied with this particular brand (to put it mildly, other words come to mind). wipers before. I give it an extra point for being able to work around the shortcomings, but it resulted in me having to use the front defroster/heater EVERY time I want to clean my windshield. These wipers were garbage right out of the box. There are streaks, and then there's the mess that's left after using Bosch wiper blades. If it's just a slash, then that's one thing, but these wipers spoil visibility after you've "cleared" the windshield. So I taught myself not to use them to clean (further darken in this case) the windshield unless absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, I will use the windshield wipers at the gas station every time I fill up. I will wait until then and only use the wipers when necessary, such as in heavy rain. This is not a good place when the primary function of these wiper blades is to maintain a clear view for the driver, and using them instead has the exact opposite result. The last time I got a pair of broken Bosch wiper blades, I wrote them off as a possible anomaly. I can't quite express the rage I felt when they too were completely useless right out of the box. Attention buyers here. You lied to me twice, so I'm strangely ashamed. Don't let them steal your money too. Spend your money on quality wipers. Stay away from Bosch.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Good but not great
