BOSCH 21A ICON Premium Beam Wiper Blade; 21" - Single

Buy two ICON Wipers (21A and 21B) for my 2007 Grand Cherokee WK, they are very good wipers, installation is easy, the fitment is very good (almost perfect in my car) they performance is also very good, and they are quiet. I will probably buy this in the future hoping to get at least 3 years of this first pair. After some rain and regular use, they are still strong! will update in the future. UPDATE 24 Dec 2020: I bought my first pair of Bosch ICON (21A & 21B) on July 05 2015! and yesterday 24 Dec 2020 I found myself in the need of a replacement pair, they perform flawlessly until around 2019 from around that time I did notice they start to leave some minors strikes and this last winter (June - July 2020 In my country) I said to myself well I need to buy a replacement pair BUT wanted to see how much they last, so finally the driver side one broke (no cracks) but it when I lifted the wiper arm the rubber came stucked (due to bird crap) to the windshield and separate from the wiper frame. fair enough since 2018 the car is parked on street level WITHOUT shade so the wipers had endured a lot of heat. I did do some cleanings with alcohol but the maintenance was minimum so this worth the extra cost for peace of mind, durability, and performance.

I knew I needed new wipers for my car, but I did not think there was a difference in them. I had Rainx ones on my car (Maxda 3) but could not see out of the driver's side when it rained. Recently driving home from my mother's on a long interstate road and not being able to see much of anything while it down poured, I knew I needed new wipers. I saw the raving reviews for Bosch and owning other products of theirs, I knew they were quality. I did not want to wait so I went to my local shopping store hoping to get a pair. I found Bosch and figured they would all be about the same. I came home and the one I bought from the store had a terrible diagram and I could not get it installed for the life of me. I even had this stranger who offered to help me that saw I was struggling and he could not get it on my car. I then noticed it had a crack on the side. This is still the Bosch one but locally bought. I went to Bosch's website and notice the wiper was not even in their inventory, it must have been old. I then came online and placed my order fearful it would not fit. The selling point for me was the video Mr.Erb placed up showing how easy it was to install. The store bought one had parts and whatnot, this one literally snaps in place. As odd as it might sound, I opted to only buy the driver's side. That was the side I could not see out of and wanted to compare them. I installed the blade in seconds, it was so simple! Now the test was, when the rain came in. When it rained I was so exited to try the new wiper. Appearance wise, the Bosch just looks cool. Not a reason to buy it but it is nice that it sits low and is attractive. I was shocked at how well it cleaned the windshield when it rained! I am used to missing spots but the Bosch hugged my windshield and wiped all of the rain away. I looked over at what was still my good wiper, the Rainx one and it could not compare. It was missing spots and also was loud. I knew Bosch made quality products but did not know they made such great wipers. I have since ordered one for the passenger side and will continue to buy these. I am very impressed with how well they work!

I've been through countless sets of wipers on countless cars over the years, and I can honestly say these have been the best wipers ever in my long history of windshield wipers. Keep in mind, there are different grades of wipers in the Bosch "bracket-less" line. Worse, there's a WalMart-specific line which sucks the big one. The Bosch ICONs are the top-of-the-line, and really do a fantastic job. Fitment was perfect, no issues whatsoever getting them on the wiper arms of my 2001 Audi A4. This is in stark contrast to the Anco wipers I used previously, which were a nightmare to put on due to the latching mechanism. Once installed, the first wipe was breathtaking. No chatter whatsoever, just a perfect, silent glide across the windshield. The wipers get the windshield as clear as if I'd washed it by hand. I've got a couple months on these so far, and they've held up perfectly. These were brutal Spring months with lots of slush, rain and dust. Still no chatter, and the wipe is still perfect. With luck, I'll be able to last through Winter with these blades. So even if they do cost a bit more than other brands, they actually save me money in the long run.

I'm really glad I decided to go with these wipers. Installation was the easiest I've ever had. They simply slide right into place. The best though by far is the non streaking coverage of the blade. I've been buying blades for over 20 years and nothing has came close to these icon blades. They've handled the super icy conditions we have here in Michigan with ease. These last few weeks we've had thrown freezing rain, snow, road mud, ice at them and I still get a clear windshield every time they run. I use them with RainX washer fluid and all my visual problems driving went away with the combination of these products. I read some of the negative reviews and what some people need to understand is some defects of any products happen when they are mass produced. Contact the company and resolve the problem with them. They are a good company and stand by their products. There is also a warranty. As to their longevity they were put to the test because of our harsh weather. My last set lasted 5 years. Need I say more? They've worked so well that I put a second set and installed them on my wife's Jeep. I feel better that she will have better visibility driving with our daughter in the car.

I will only purchase Bosch wipers for the rest of my life! These are OUTSTANDING wipers, well worth the price. You will not be disappointed! Installation is less than a minute per blade. They stay put nicely, and function better than any blade I have ever used. I love how sturdy they look and feel. Just get them, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you pay attention to the size, Amazon will tell you on the item page if a specific size fits your vehicle (provided you have entered your vehicle information into your Amazon "garage" which is a feature I LOVE) and will tell you which side that item will fit (Front left or Front right or rear etc) so just keep an eye out for that if you need some guidance. I really love these blades. It is so important to have good wipers and I feel so confident and save with Bosch on the "front lines" of my car. Well done Bosch!

There are some things I am a fanatic about. Good wipers are one of those things. The “experts” are now suggesting we change our wipers every six months. (I wonder if they have stock in a wiper company?) Of course so many other factors go in to the mix including whether you keep your car in the garage to how much your wipers are actually used. Purchasing wipers has become as complicated as decided what athletic shoe to buy? Do you want them to run, walk, sit, bike? Why do we allow things to get this complicated? That being said, if you are here you are doing the right thing. You are conducting a little research to hopefully obtain the best wiper for the best price. The first thing I will share is, as I’m sure you already know, there are plenty of blades out there for a lot less money. Let’s talk about the price difference. Assuming this is one of the best on the market, and the lowest price blade is one of the worst, we are looking at three times the cost. The truth is 21” wiper blades can be easily found for $5 or $6 each. Why then did I pay $17? Bosch has found a way to distribute the same pressure throughout the entire blade while it clears away snow and/or water. This is important. I understand the “rubber” they use is actually a “blend” which keeps the operation silent, longer. They also advertise their blades come without hinges and brackets. Quite possibly this could equate to less things to “break”. It should be noted this is advertised as an “all weather condition” wiper. This may be “overkill” for some, or a really, really good wiper for others. I reside in Southern New Jersey where we can get a little snow from time to time. I wanted a wiper to work like a squeegee and remove all water with a swipe. It should be noted, that is exactly what happens with both the driver side and passenger side. With one swipe ALL water is removed. No streaks, no lines, no funny stuff. Bosch claims their wipers can last up to 40% longer. I’m not sure what that means. Longer than what, the cheapest blade? I have no doubt, from the feel and the look, these blades will last longer than some other blades. I do know I was rather surprised during the first rain event. They were remarkable. Will they last? I hope so? Will they continue to perform? I hope so. Are they worth the money? In my humble opinion they are very, very good wipers. However, $17. is still a little high for a piece of rubber on a stick. So for that reason I have chosen to rate this item at 4 stars. Should the price come down a bit and these wipers perform well for a period of time, I will purchase them and rate them 5 stars next time.

I've had these on my car for a little over a year and a half. (I know, because Amazon just reminded me of my prior order as I checked out the product page to order another set.) Only now are they starting to show signs of aging. Before these, I had wipers from Rain-X (two different kinds) and while they cost about 75% as much, they lasted 30% of the time. You do the math. In case you're not familiar with them, Bosch is the company that actually makes the OEM wiper blades for many high end cars (like BMW, for one). In fact, you'd probably be surprised by how much inside your car is made by Bosch. So, you're not buying from a company that is just marketing cheap parts made in China and selling it with a lot of marketing. You're getting OEM quality with these, if not better. So, when considered in that light, as well, these blades really aren't that expensive. They don't streak or chatter, and even after having them on my car for over a year, they are only streaking a small amount. That's saying something, as these have now made it through two Boston winters. So, the blades really do last, but will you be happy with them while they do? I think so. They hold the shape of the windshield well, and never flap or vibrate, no matter how fast you're going. The bracket is solid, and worked well on the J-hook in my car. Many other "universal" mounts didn't work so well, notably the ones from the aforementioned Rain-X wipers. The single piece design is also great for those living in cold climates, as it is less vulnerable to ice and snow build-up. Given that your eyes are the most important safety device on your car, you owe it to yourself to not skimp on wiper blades. But I'm pleased to report that despite the upfront cost, these are actually MORE cost effective than many other premium wiper blades, given that they are the only expensive wiper blades I've ever used that actually lasted longer than the cheap ones. Tip: the A or the B after the model number (e.g. 22A) refers to the spring force of the blade (i.e. how hard it is to pull it straight). The B applies more force, and would be useful if you have a highly curved windshield. The fact that Bosch offers not just a variety of lengths down the inch, but also two different spring forces, is another indicator of the fact that these are not your average wiper blades. I found that having an A on the driver side and a B on the passenger side works best on my car. If in doubt, just try A all around, and then if you find that the blade is missing spots on the ends of the blade, return the A and get a B. Last tip: Amazon's database is helpful, but by no means complete. If you think this will fit your car, but Amazon says it won't, ignore Amazon. They say neither blade I have on my car will work, and yet I'm extremely happy with them, as you can tell.

Loved these blades. I tried them years ago and did not have a good experience so I ended up settling with the Bosch Evolutions. I tried them again this time after seeing consistently good reviews. No regrets. Easy installation and the quality is great. Streak free wipes without any noise. Flawless on even that light drizzle/moisture/mist that seems to leave droplets behind with many blades. I have a 2007 Outlander which called for "A" type on the driver's side, which is standard and "B" type on the passenger's side as sometimes called for. By mistake I ordered two "A" type blades. I was just about to return the passenger's side for a "B" type as indicated but I decided to try the "A" anyway. Installed and worked great. I believe the "B" type is supposed to help with the curvature of many car windshields. The "A" worked fine. I will try to update this review in a few months to see how is holds up over the winter.

I have been a loyal Bosch customer ever since I bought my frist car and I didn''t have any problems with the products until recently. I purchased the wiper blades and they are starting to streak. I have cleaned my windshield and gently wiped the wiper blades with a warm damp cloth but the problems continues I must of had a one off because I didn't have this issue before. I would of given this 5 stars if it weren't for this issue.

I only just got this so I will edit later on durability but first impressions are very good. Installation was super easy - the instructions and online videos are simple to follow. Already I see a very noticeable difference in how these hug the windshield on my VW Golf. The previous wipers would leave huge smears because their contact with the windshield was inconsistent. These ones make a nice big arc that is smear free and you can see how well they contour to the windshield. Recommend.

I had high hopes for these. They initially wiped very well and they are very quiet in operation. However, I've only been using them for about 5 months and they are already streaking on both sides. I've cleaned the blades, windshield and inspected my wiper arm springs, but they still streak. In short, they are way too expensive for what they are. I normally get 12-18 months out of a set of blades that cost half as much. Save your money and look elsewhere.

it is good and i am happy that i got good thing in right price.

great product
