Still using the Icons. Purchased when they first came out - about a year ago maybe. Work Great! Yea, they were expensive, I remember that.

My Icons are about a year and a half old and still work pretty well.

I had the bosch ones right when they came out and they lasted over a year though a really harsh winter, i had the rainx ones for about 6 months and not even half as bad as a winter and they were toast. I have the Michelin ones right now and they are ok at best. I like the bosch ones the best just as far as my experience goes

So far, the Rain-X I just put on are much better than the Bosch Excels. Those were just to hard. They streaked and left grooves. These Rain-X leave no moisture and yet are quieter. Wish I had changed them 6 months ago.

Are wiper blades really that much more expensive in Canada?

At Canadian Tire they range from $6-8 for the cheapest/horrible ones, $12-15 for the mid-range "Precise Fit" ones, $18+ for the "Reflex" ones and $25 for Armor All Reflex... EACH.

The only ones worth buying are the Precise Fit silicone ones. But seriously, you guys are getting 2 GOOD wiper blades for $20?!

I'm pretty sure the stockers are 19, but I could be mistaken. The 20" fit fine.

Yep, as Bluejay said, the 20's are fine. I believe some people use 22's.
