Review on ABLEWIPE Hybrid Windshield Blades 18O13B 1 by Sam Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quiet smooth wipers

I started using these brushes on Camry 07 and 09, Outback 04 and Forester 14. I've mainly used cheap Walmart blades, but over the past few years they've been falling apart quickly. become stiff and begin to dangle, etc. Two machines sit constantly in the hot sun and in the cold of winter the cheap blades on them have deteriorated the fastest. The blades have a much more convenient attachment locking system, are easier to attach and detach, and best of all, they wipe clean and quiet. As far as durability remains to be seen, this is the first purchase for three vehicles; She's had a Camry for 18 months and they seem to be holding up well, but the car hasn't been driven much in 2020 due to COVID. So far, however, they seem to be very good blades. They have a black plastic cover over the blade's metal frame which looks better than the bare frame and I suspect reduces wind noise. It also appears to reduce UV/sun exposure, which can increase blade life. Same look and feel as genuine Camry blades available from your Toyota dealer. The leaves nestle snugly against the curve of the windshield. The nice thing is that you can order them in pairs to fit both driver and passenger.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • quality
