Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volvo
The Michelin blades I put on over a year ago are just now maybe starting to need to be replaced.
Pros: lasted over a year
Michelin Guardia+ blades - $7.99 each on sale at Costco - way better than OEM, way cheaper than Bosch. Even if they don’t last as long as Bosch, I can replace them 3 times as often and still save money.
Pros: better than OEM, cheaper than Bosch
Cons: may not last as long
They’re Michelins. Work great.
Pros: work great
I haven’t had issues with mine. When I do use them, no streaking.
Pros: no streaking

Exactly 12 months on my 19 S60 blades. So far still good.
Pros: still good after 12 months

I'm surprised Costco hasn't dumped Michelin for Bosch branded wipers.
I’ve had the wipers replaced twice in six months and it’s downright dangerous during rainy drives.
Cons: replaced twice in six months, downright dangerous

This is the single biggest issue I’ve had with them. It makes driving at night in the rain a hazard. It has always smeared right across the driver’s line of sight.
Cons: biggest issue, driving hazard, smeared line of sight
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
The wipers barely clean and leave a smear. I changed blades and it's the same problem.
Cons: barely clean, leave smear

Dealer then replaced them and that worked, then started streaking again. It's just a hassle always returning them or going to the dealer.
Pros: worked initially
Cons: started streaking again, hassle to replace
