I have had excellent experiences buying the Michelin brand beam-style wiper blades on sale at Costco. Decent prices and the wipers do an excellent job. I replace mine every 15-18 months.

Pros: excellent job, decent prices

I purchased Michelin Optimum+ Ceramic Beam 26”/16” just the other day. I chose them because I wanted ceramic silicone and the Michelin were a great price at $15 each. After putting the “right” adapter on that fit the button hole, that’s when I found out that the Trax’s wiper arm isn’t the correct length for these blades. The space between the button hole and the end is really small whereas the bracket on the blade and the photo in the instruction pamphlet show that the space should be over 1” to accommodate most of the bracket. The blade “fit” and snapped in, but I could tell it wasn’t right. There was too much play and the arm could separate from the blade by just bending the blade. Also the Trax’s arm is curved on the bottom, fitting perfectly into the OEM blades. Michelin’s website said that the 26” blade would fit. Oddly though, it said the passenger side was 14” instead of 16”.

Pros: great price
Cons: incorrect length, too much play, arm could separate

I have a Blazer EV and the OEM wipers were garbage. I live in Florida and do RainX wipers and washer fluid; when the windshield is properly treated with RainX, I usually don't even have to turn the wipers on.

Pros: windshield properly treated
Cons: OEM wipers were garbage
Vehicle: Chevrolet Blazer

Same here. A few years ago I thought they were a great deal. Now they are both worth installing. Just pay a bit more for another brand.

Pros: great deal
Cons: not worth installing
