Bosch Wiper Blades

trying to figure out the hierarchy of the Bosch wiper blade lineup...

Is the "Evolution" better than the "Micro-Edge"??

and where does the "Excel+" fit in?

(I know the Icon is their best, but they don't make it in the fitment I want)

Hell, I liked the "micro-edge"....gee, think there could be some planned obsolescence going on?

Can't figure out why...since blades need replacing.

yup, I liked those also - believe it or not, they have 5 different models on their web site

maybe they are just "really into" wipers, or are staying ahead of the competition

it's also possible that they have diversified the wipers for different conditions - i.e. best snow/ice performance requires soemthing different from best rain performance...

Can't say, but I bought some Bosch blades this past summer, and they were utterly worthless.

I replace my blades on my daily driver about twice a year. Before and after winter.

I use the winter blades that are wrapped to keep out the snow and ice. Then whatever is on sale for the summer.
