We just replaced the wipers on our 2020 Subaru Outback today - they lasted 4 year!. If you have a Subaru, I highly recommend Subaru wipers. The ones we replaced were still clearing the windshield, but in Virginia they have "safety" inspections and if there's even the tiniest little tear they fail the car. So we replaced them. But they still had life left in them.
Pros: lasted 4 years, still clearing, highly recommend

Subaru Outback
I don't own a Subaru anymore but I had a Forrester for about five years and I never found offbrand replacements that really worked… I ended up going to my dealer and buying the replacements there… They were expensive but they always seem to work right…
Pros: worked right
Cons: expensive

Subaru Forester
After years of trying to remedy my poor wipers on my XV I swapped to single peice after market assembly and have never looked back.
The windscreen wipes smear free.
Pros: wipes smear free
Cons: OEM ones worn out

I only ever used Subaru blades on my 2011, for 10 years in Upstate, NY, winters. My 21 is on the second set of OE blades (installed under warranty) and they're also good quality. As others said - they're a competitive price and good quality so I see no reason to use something else.
Pros: good quality, competitive price, durable

Subaru Outback
I just buy the OEM blades from Subaru. They seem to be good quality and the price is comparable to a higher end Trico blade I would normally buy anyways.
Pros: good quality, comparable price

Subaru Outback
I just go to the Subaru dealership to get OEM blades. They're pretty good for the price !
Pros: pretty good for the price

I might be the only idiot who uses the dealer Subaru OEM blades. They are guaranteed for a year and I walk back in at month 11.5 and am usually able to get the dealership to warranty replace.
Pros: guaranteed for a year

I’ve never had better blades in my 18 than the OEMs. Anything else need a clunky adapter, and none of them have worked as well.
Pros: OEM blades superior
Cons: aftermarket need adapter, aftermarket worked less well

I remember the original ones from the factory which had a small spoiler on the blades. The new original bmw ones have that stupid fat wedge.
Pros: original design with spoiler
Cons: new design has fat wedge
I got new wipers for the BMW. I paid a little over $100. BMW wanted to charge me $50 and told me it was a complex process. I said no, walked out and put them on in literally 1 minute.
Pros: easy to install
Cons: expensive, complex process
Vehicle:
BMW
