AQUATEC vs ECONO – Modernity vs. Tradition
In the world of wipers, there are many different options to choose from. In our offer for the windshield alone, you will find as many as 6 types. The two main categories of wipers that often compete are flat wipers (also known as frameless) and skeleton wipers. Both types of wipers have their unique features, advantages and disadvantages that are worth considering before making a decision to buy them. Today’s blog post is devoted to the confrontation of AQUATEC and ECONO, or modernity versus tradition in the light of car wipers.
Aquatec flat wipers = modernity
Flat wipers, such as the popular Aquatec series, represent a modern approach to visibility on the road. They are known for their flat design that fits snugly against the windshield, providing better aerodynamics and performance in the rain. Here are some of the pros and cons of flat wipers:
Advantages:
Modern design: Flat wipers have an aesthetic appearance that blends in perfectly with modern cars.
Better performance in rain: Thanks to their flat shape and rubber technology, flat wipers effectively remove water and provide clear visibility during rainfall.
Less noise: Due to the lack of a metal frame, flat wipers usually generate less noise during operation.
Defects:
Shorter Lifespan: Flat wipers can be less durable than skeleton wipers because they lack a rigid support.
Higher Price: Flat wipers tend to be more expensive than traditional skeleton wipers.
Econo Wiper Blades = Tradition
Frame wipers, also known as traditional wipers, represent the traditional approach to solutions. They have a metal frame on which a rubber wiper blade is attached. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of frame wipers:
Advantages:
Longer life: Skeleton wipers, due to their design, often last longer.
Better winter performance: Skeleton wipers can better remove ice and snow from the windshield.
Availability and lower price: Skeleton wipers are widely available on the market and are usually cheaper than their flat counterparts. On the popular website Allegro, you can get them for a little over PLN 30.
Defects:
Reduced aerodynamics: The metal frame of skeleton wipers can slightly affect the aerodynamics of your car.
Increased noise: Skeleton wipers can sometimes make more noise when in use, especially at higher speeds.
In summary, the choice between Aquatec flat wipers and Econo skeleton wipers depends on the individual preferences and needs of the driver. Modernity and tradition go hand in hand in this case, offering different solutions for different situations. Regardless of the choice, ensuring regular wiper replacement is key to maintaining road safety, especially in difficult weather conditions.
