Michellin wiper blades

Just saw these Michellin wiper blades on sale at Amazon (pr of 2 for $20):

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYSDS72...ing=UTF8&psc=1

Questions:
- These Michellin wiper blades any good, or Mercedes or any other brands better for the price?
- My factory ones are 2 yrs old. Time to replace?
- Easy to install myself? or buy at local auto parts store & let them install?

Thanks,

I purchaed a set of Bosch at Advance and they installed them. Took about 1 min. per blade. The easiest thing to replace on an MB. Work fine so far.

Agreed.
Usually gets Bosch ICON blades installed at Advance Auto, at $50 for the pair.

But just wondering if these $20/pr Michellins are worth it...

Wiper blades are consumables, and depending on your envt, are annual disposables so may as well save the money.


In relatively dry/hot SoCal, for example, the blades on every car I and my wife have owned need to be replaced annually just because the sun dries/hardens them so when you actually need them (for that day or two, lol!) you end up hating them skipping or smearing and just replace them ...good for the "season," if you can call it that. So for me, the savings is a plus. But FWIW, Costco started carrying blades and I've already used them on our Volvo and Suburban ...work great and cheap. Just sayin

I have been using those Michelin blades and cannot complain. I installed a new set yesterday ,after 9 months of usage. I bought another set from Amazon today just to have one for the next change.
