Updated review
Bought wipers in november '21 after reading reviews. Was working well, no streaks/noise. However now (march/april '22) wipers are skipping and very noisy. Contacted support given their promise of customer satisfaction but only suggestion was to clean the windshield which I had done already. Was expecting to get at least 12 months out of it so fairly disappointed.
EDIT:
I was given replacement wiper refills after my review was posted. The installation was easy and straightforward, however the performance was still not what it was when I got i...
Read moret new in november; the bottom portion of the blade was still skipping albeit better. This makes me believe it could be that the wiper arm has lost tension rather than the rubber losing performance. At least now it is useable and the noise is not as bad, hopefull will last the full 12 months.

A hassle to fit. When they did, they didn’t last…
Bought these wipers about 7 months ago.
They seemed like generic ones with many adapters rather than ones that are made to fit a specific car model.
They were a hassle to get on and cheapened the look of the car (Mk7 Golf) because they looked clunkier than the originals which are much more streamlined.
They worked OK for a few months but after 7 months of use they’re not much use with lots of skipping and noise. Not a good deal considering the originals lasted a few years…
Hi Aleks,
Thanks for your review. I couldn't find your order in the system, please help us with your full name and order number so we can check the details surrounding your order....
Read more Our blades are fairly easy to install however we understand that some wiper arms can have rust or dirt inside them making an easy task difficult and incase you get stuck, our support team is a call away to help you. We provide a 12 month warranty for all wiper blades sold, we are more than happy to have this resolved for you. The wiper blade rubber is soft and be damaged if not maintained well, there are also many factors that can influence wiper performance and noise (contaminants, arm adjustment, windscreen coating, level of moisture, exposure of rubber to UV to name a few). As you drive; you'll get debris, bitumen, wax, tar, road grime, tree sap, and other foreign matter or contaminants end up on your windscreen which then sticks to the wiper rubber affecting its performance and may cause a squeak or shudder. Wiper and windscreen maintenance is required to keep the wiper blades working optimal. We also include a washer tablet to reduce any noise and prolong longer wiper life. A quick wipe down of the windscreen and the wiper blades using warm soapy water will restore the blade back to original, and in some cases, its required that you polish the windscreen to restore the wiper performance. Regards, HenryFoggy and streaky windscreen
Bought front and back wiper for my Sorento 4 weeks ago. Initially the wipers were alright (probably due to under use) but now the wiper is leaving big streak and fog in the windscreen. Received a replacement silicon wiper rubber but the noise its producing was unbearable (had to revert to old one). Contacted the support team but had not heard back from them. I am going back to my original wipers and strongly recommend everyone to stay away from buying it.

After a few months they have started squealing
Started out well, but after 5 months on the vehicle they have started to squeal (Audi Q7). I have emailed Uniwipers and sent a video of the noise to them. I have cleaned them, made sure the windscreen is clean, and the noise keeps coming back. I have been in touch with Uniwiper and will see what happens. I have not had an issue with the rear wiper which I purchased at the same time.
I researched these before buying, but would not be going out of my way to purchase them for my 4wd when they are due. For the cost of these I would expect a long...
Read moreer life with them. My wifes car is always washed and kept clean in the garage and does minimal travel. Mine on the other hand is driven every day, sits in the elements and I do not have this problem with my wipers and I dont wash my car half as much as my wifes. The were easy to fit, and delivered quickly, but I just expected a bit more from them for the price. If they continue to squeal on the screen, I will have to replace them as the noise is very annoying to listen to while driving. Uniwiper are sending some new rubbers and windscreen polish which is great, we will see how this works. I am happy with the great response from Uniwipers so I hope this solves my problem and I can update accordingly.- 5 reviews

Terrible wipers....
Bought for my Hilux. Within 2 months the wiper started streaking. Absolutely smears right at eye level when driving. Avoid.
Hi Hilarious,
We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations....
Read more There are many factors that can influence wiper performance (maintenance, contaminants, bugs, arm adjustment, windscreen coating, level of moisture, exposure of rubber to UV to name a few that come to mind right now). As you drive; you'll get debris, bitumen, grease, tar, road grime, tree sap, bugs, leaves, and other random foreign matter end up on your windscreen which then sticks to the wiper rubber affecting the overall performance and in some instances can damage the rubber being a soft component. A regular wipe down of the windscreen with a glass cleaner and a wipe down of the wiper blade rubber using warm soapy water should restore the blade back to original. Please be sure to also check the wiper blade for any damage if results are not improving. We'd also like to see how you went, please get in touch with our team so we can look into this further and resolve any issues you are having. Our email is support@uniwiper.com.au Regards, HenryThat's a very misleading reply, Henry. Not sure if you comprehended my feedback, it happened less than 2 months after purchase and install.
Nothing to do with dirt or debris, the rubber arrived warped and out of shape, hence the streaking....
Read more Poor QC.Sorry Hilarious, I have modified our reply, it seems we had you mixed up with another customer, can you send your invoice number?

Ok, but could be much better!
Overall the wipers work well as you'd expect new wipers to. The only issue is because the wipers are kept in the packet for however long in the warehouse, they loose the curvature and as such they don't fully curve to the windscreen. Therefore they don't clean the edges properly. I tried folding them with my hands before installing but this didn't help.
The other issue is around installing onto the wiper arms of the front ones. The fit was not very good and I had to really "yank" them in and at one point thought I was going to break something.
I'll come back and update after 4-6 months of use. They are ok for now, but I'll try something else first before I decide to come back for more.

Terrible Product
Bought the wipers for my Nissan Murano.
They are obviously not rigid enough as they vibrate wildly at the bottom of the wiper.
Contacted support and they said it was because I had film on the windscreen and I needed to clean it. Did that, still the same issue.
Finally admitted it was a known problem and they would send me a replacement when the "new Rubber" arrived.
Waited a month no replacement. Contacted support and they said they sent the replacement to some address in QLD (i.e. Not my Address)
Finally got the replacement (Not the whole wiper, just the rubber insert) and does the same thing. For all the hassle this was worth, I will just buy Bosch for a few $ more.
Hi Daveo78,

left a fog on the windscreen
purchased them for my 2017 commodore. delivery was fast, but that's where it all went downhill. First thing was they weren't fully on the windscreen, leaving large gaps. Uni wipers answer to this was to bend them to fit. Hardly a professional product if you need to bend them to fit. Then when I finally got them working, they were leaving a fog all over the windscreen. I drive a lot at night and the last thing I need in the rain is an obstructed view. I informed them of this via email. There answer to that was we will let our production team kno...
Read morew. they couldn't care less about the issues I had, and made it quite clear by their responses. I told them I was sending them back for a refund, and they were ok about this, sending me an email telling me they had refunded me. Two days later I hadn't received any indication of the refund so emailed them asking where it is. This email was conveniently ignored so I lodged a dispute with Paypal for a refund and miraculously, within 2 hours they had refunded my paypal. These guys are dodgy, are selling a dodgy product, and will quite happily take your money, then hope you don't complain after they screw you around if you have an issue.Hi Brett,
Thanks for your review. We are happy to hear you received your parcel quickly....
Read more Flexing or bending the wiper blades can help the rubber sit better in the metal guides as the wiper had been sitting straight in the box for a few days. We are also sorry you could not find any metal components on our wiper which is what you were after, the metal is actually hidden under the spoiler, and we sent you photos to your email. Fog can appear in colder temperatures, you can turn on the heater or air conditioner (whichever works for you) to clear it up while you are warming up your car. The refund was processed via our ecommerce website which can take a few days to process on its own. As soon as you emailed us at 8:25pm informing us the refund hasn't shown on your side, we had it quickly resolved by 8:30pm. You're right, 5 minutes can sometimes feel like 2 hours. We now offer silicone rubber options, we'd love for you to try it. Anyways, no sweat, can't win them all. We're just doing our best to provide the best possible product and service we can. If you have any specific suggestions or ideas hit us up because we're genuinely keen to hear them and improve things wherever we can. Thanks again mate. Regards, HenryThe fog wasn't on the inside of the windscreen. It was on the outside and was only being made after the wipers had passed. While this is normal and usually dissipated in seconds, in this case it wasn'...
Read moret dissapating at all. Also if you offer silicon blades, why wasn't this ever mentioned either at point of sale or when discussing returning them? I'm afraid excuses can't fix a poorly made product sold by a dodgy business.Hi Brett,
We only got the silicone blades this week which is why we didn't offer it earlier and we're sorry we couldn't help you this instance....

Fit can be better
The front wiper blades don't have enough/un-even pressure to sit against the windscreen. Two pointy ends don't have any contact with the windscreen at all. The rear blade attachment leave a small gap between the housing and the insert, make it wobbly. It has done a good job in removing water tho, but I guess every new blades do the same.
UPDATE 1: Tried to bend the edges of the blades, as suggested by Uniwiper, to make the blade edges touch with the windscreen. It is better now, but there is still a small gap there, not as big as before, seems more acceptable.
Hi BlackLab,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. ...
Read more From what we have experienced, this can happen to a small percentage of vehicles where the windscreen has a more of an aerodynamic contour. I see you got my email and you have made the suggested adjustment so the wipers can make better contact with your windscreen. Regards, Henrygood wipers but
these are good wipers but don’t think they are as good as advertised but still leave un removed water on my windscreen but they are better than what i had
Hi Dave,
Please email us on support@uniwiper.com.au as I am sure we can resolve this issue for you, usually a small adjustment will fix your problem quite easily....

Disappointing
Purchased wipers during a sale, was advised items would include quick shipping, australian stock. Didnt receive wipers for over a month and when they arrived it was clear they were shipped from china.
The wipers dont make proper contact with the windshield, leaving continous lines of water on the windshield when used.
Enquiries to the compant also fall on deaf ears, expect to receive no response or some cookie cutter message.
Thanks for your feedback.
I'd like to clarify what happened. Firstly. We would like to apologize for the delay in shipping your product during the sale period. We had ~2000 orders to fulfill; we shi...
Read morepped out 600 of these locally which took longer than expected; our main supplier requested to assist with the fulfillment of these orders; we were assured the orders would be handled faster than we would be able to. We wanted to keep everyone happy by getting them the product that they ordered instead of refunding; when we received tracking late, the truth became clear the items were better off being sent locally even tho it took us some time to do so.- Verified
Average quality product with no after sales support
drop shipped from China wipers I can live with if they do the job. Ordered a set for my car and my wife's. Both driver side wipers didn't make proper contact with the glass from the get go. Spoke to them via email and said it was due to them being stored straight for too long and bending them a bit would fix it. It didn't. Conveniently at this point, when I asked for the wiper to be replaced or refunded they stopped replying to my emails. Also tried calling the phone number, and received a recorded message saying "send an email". Hard to get th...
