I bought a new set of regular Bosch blades today, but they had the new Aero Blades on display.

Has anyone got them? Are they any better than the normal ones?

I tried these on my CDX and i found them no better than the normal ones, they did squeak a lot though

I'll let you know, just ordered a set

I've been using these Aero Twin flat blades for about 10 months and wouldn't go back to "normal" wipers. Superb smear free performance and very quiet.

A sure sign your previous blades were well knackered.  Normal blades are also quiet and effective, until worn out.

Actually, normal blades on Omegas are generally slightly better, due to complex shape of screen.


So, if you are after good value, good performance and quiet running, get Vx blades at TC (£9 ish), and change annually.  Obviously, if its a style thing, then the choice is yours.

I agree..I use them on both cars..And cleans very well..

Have had them on the saloon for about 6 months - quiet and efficient so far

I have some on one of the Omegas

I have to say that I am not that impressed as they dont touch the full screen as well as the standard ones and are slightly noisier.

A classic form over function job in my books!

There's only a very tiny area on the passengers side when the wipers are at rest that they dont touch the windscreen properly and does nothing to impair the driver's vision. Having used conventional wipers for more years than I care to remember, I still maintain they perform better overall. Different experiences for different people I guess. :-/

From what I have read , either the advertisements are successful or our curiosity  

too many tried them

talking for other cars the wipers are far better than the standard wipers..On Omega depends on the owner..

[waspy]

I always buy the ones from Wilcos for around £1.50 each, they do the job very well & last a fair while

I think one of ours (2001) is still on original wipers, they don't seem to need, or bother changing them at VX service  :-/   Work absolutely perfect  

...though got the GM flatblades on astras and work an absolute treat! MUCH better than std. Put some cheap tescos ones on a mates nissan and they work well also

Any new blade will seem good, regardless of price/style
