Worst: ValeoOne of our concerns when putting this list together was making readers think cheap and affordable immediately imply poor quality. That's not necessarily the case, as some of the best windshield wiper blade brands available tend to offer different tiers of product. These manufacturers have perfected the designs of their blades and then took those lessons learned during development and applied them to more affordable blades, often ones with cheaper materials. Valeo, however, just makes cheap blades — in every sense of the word.If you were to Google the phrase cheap wiper blades, Valeo would be one of the first results to appear. And Valeo wiper blades are definitely that — a standard 17" blade will run you around $14 at Auto Zone. What you'll get is a blade that will wipe water from your windshield, which is the whole point. While users say they will start streaking and tearing pretty quickly, if you're in a pinch and just need a temporary replacement, availability can often be a bigger selling point than quality. If Valeo blades are what's available in your vehicle's size during a storm, well, they're better than nothing.
