Default Jenok Wiper Blades

Anyone have any experience with the brand?

I normally buy Bosch. But these are apparently Aussie.

'Australia made'

Never heard of them - stick to OE, Bosch or Trico to avoid disappointment

That's what I've been thinking. Seem like a good design. Just wondering in anyone has actually used them.

Would they sell you one only, no refill, as a trial to A:B with your other front wiper?

I complained via email that one of the wipers was an inch too short and their response was "just install it anyway and see how you go, you shouldn't notice a difference"!!!
Close enough is good enough for them but that's not good enough for me............

Hmmm...anything can be made to look good on the intrnet. The page does look a bit spammy.

I'm still on my original OEM ones that came with the car. Almost 130,000kms later. I'm utterly amazed they've lasted so long.

But they are probably about due to be replaced. I did like the Bosch Aerotwin when I used them on the BF several years ago. Are they still the best ones to use?

Doing some quick reading, looks like Bosch Icon are the speccy ones, though they seem more geared towards all weather conditions like snow and ice. Not something we need to worry about or spend a premium for.

Look at their website there's mistakes all over it, also they appear to be in the same street as Wipertech.

I'm assuming same company but a cheaper range maybe?
