Aero wiper blades by Raistlin

I bought a set of these from fleabay 18 months ago, not expecting much for my money.

I've just replaced them. Not that they were causing problems because they are super wiper blades. I just decided to make it a regular maintenance task.

At that price, it would be churlish not to :)

I just bought a pair of these. I have been using Bosch Aero for the last few years, just thought I'd check out the opposition. I've yet to install them as my Bosch ones are still good after 2 years. The previous pair were still pretty good after 4 years. I'm a very low mileage user though.

I bought two sets over a year ago, for less than £12, and still have one set spare. They are superb, no smears and they are still working perfectly. I think the design is the key to their success; The constant arc of rubber, with, presumably, a spring steel insert, gives a fully flexible curvature. The OE blades relied on a series of hinged holders to give the flexibility needed to deal with the multi-curvature of the screen, but this is not as refined.

Those in the link must be a loss leader at price, surely?

I don't think so, they have been there for some time and I didn't order anything else from them, but I agree, they do seem cheap.
