Default Canadian Tire's Reflex Wipers

Now that the slush is upon us, my wiper blades inability to wipe anything is becoming a problem.
Was wondering if anyone has bought these? Are they actually decent or should I just stick to regular old wiper blades?

I got some for Christmas and they are pretty damn good... $50 is kinda steep for a set of wipers, but these ones are pretty good.

Go to Walmart and buy the reflex knock off wiper blades for $18 each. They work just fine.

and they are actually $14 at walmart - good luck trying to find any though - sold out with no new shipment since xmas.

i was really disappointed with my walmart ones this morning - froze up and stuff like a regular blade. for the summer, in rain and stuff, im sure theyre excellent, but in the winter, nah.

Ohh, bought those bad boys for my Exploder last winter. Worked great. Then I bought the Jimmy and made the transfer. Not sure if the curvature of the windshield had an effect, but they just didn't perform well on Jimmy.

They sure look good, though.

I bought them for my dad for Christmas he has a Mini-Van and he loves'em says they work great, he's really happy with them, just make sure you get the right size because they make'em different than regular wipers, so you generally need a bigger size

I've been watching the CT commercials about the Reflex wiper. I thought the design was unique with great potential. I also thought the price was a bit steep. Now if I knew they would work as advertised I'd buy them in heart beat. I never seem to have wipers that work well.

Hmm, Bosch has ones that are similar. I'll try to find those ones. I had Bosch (OEM) wipers on my old Saturn, and they were the best wipers I ever had.

Works great on the minivan. The only wiper I've found that will work on the back window.

They've been great on my Mazda this winter. I definitely recommend them.
