Pros: nothing
Cons: don't hug the screen like they are supposed to.
"I bought a pair of these for my Peugeot 206 GTI and they could not cope with the curvature of my windscreen! They are supposed to be high-tech and be 30% better than normal wipers. Not in this case! They would not wipe correctly as they left a large unwiped area on the drivers right hand side. I took them off and purchased a conventional pair which work perfectly. Cheaper too and they are a good well known brand. If you drive a 206 don't bother with these!"

Pros: no noise
Cons: smear, value for money
"I drive on the motorway and A roads daily so when it rains you can imagine how fast it is etc and visibility is necessary at such high speeds etc
Pro: These wiper don’t make any noise at such high speed
Con: They do wipe the rain away but leave a faint water smear immediately after

Don’t know how it’s received such good reviews previously.
My previous blades of a different brand weren’t flat (but the traditional styled ones), and they lasted a year, I don’t think these will survive that long.

Bottom line: When I use a wiper I expect it to do the job properly but unfortunately this wiper doesn’t do it as well as I expected - not worth the money so wouldn't buy again"
