vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Honda
Imo, the Honda wipers are fantastic and last almost a year. I change them based on timing, not even at the point I can't see through my windshield. And they're like $6.50 each.
Pros: fantastic, last almost a year, inexpensive
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.
I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.
This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.
Pros: OEM: no issues, good performance
Cons: Michelin/RainX: noisy, chattered, skipped
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
They fit, but I bought Michelin wipers (made by Anco), and they work just as good as the Bosch.
Pros: work just as good
I have used the Michelin Wiper Blades from Costco and don\u2019t find anything wrong with them. I use them on 3 vehicles and get at least a year out of them. I think they are a great value.
Pros: great value
I only get a year out of the Costco Michelin blades. I bought some reflex ones from CT and they are far better. Still good after 14 months.
Pros: far better
Cons: only a year
I stopped buying their Michelin wipers when one fell off mid wipe after following their instructions to the last step.
Cons: fell off mid wipe
Those wiper blades are complete garbage imo.
Cons: complete garbage
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
The Costco Michelin are garbage.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
It's not that the Michelins don't last long, it's that they're bad right from the start. They squeak from day one and it never gets better.
Cons: bad right from start, squeak
Michelin ones don't even last a season.
Cons: don't last a season
