    Anco blades have always worked well for me. I tried triple edge blades but wasn't impressed. The smear more than they clear.

    According to Cosumer Reports Anco were the best, followed by the Bosch Micor Edge. I need to replace mine, hell I have needed to replace them for 6 months or more, but I keep putting it off.

    I have the anco ones that are easy to install and they work fine, but smear a little.

    The Lexor Type B inserts fit like stock inserts. Available at Wal-mart for about $4. Consumer Reports also stated that any blades shouldn't be expected to last more than 6 months. The Lexor may not be the best after 6 months, but they're OK for that time.

    Are Anco blades a auto parts store type of product, or do I need to go somewhere special to get them?

    i have used the Anco and the Bosch Micro Excel. both were nice, but wore out in a matter of a few weeks. as it turns out, i went to a honda dealer and got a set of the stockers, and they are much better than either the Ansco or Bosch. i MUST also recommend the RainX windshield Wiper Fluid, it is pink, and contains a bit of rainex, and glycol (aircraft deicing fluid), so it does not freeze, and really helps melt the ice and produces by FAR the BEST result i have ever seen. go stock, and switch wiper fluid.
