Currently, hybrid brusheswindshield wipers are the most popular and in demand on the market. This is not surprising, because they combine all the strengths of frameless and wireframe brushes. At the same time, such a product is practically devoid of shortcomings. Already since 2005, many Japanese and European cars were equipped with hybrid brushes, which already speaks volumes. But let's try to deal with all the issues in more detail.
In fact, as already noted above - this isThe combination of frameless and wireframe brushes. It is quite logical that this is an expensive option, since it is more complicated in manufacturing. The design consists of swivel joints and rocker arms. All this provides excellent depreciation, as well as proper pressing against the glass. Accordingly, the quality of cleaning is at a high level.
Separate attention should be paid to plastichermetic casing. It is made aerodynamically, so the efficiency of its operation does not fall even at high speed. On the contrary, its shape is such that the counterflow of air forces the design more firmly against the windshield, ensuring a snug fit of the brushes along the entire length. Look, for example, on reviews of hybrid windshield wiper blades of the famous brand "Denso". Virtually all consumers are satisfied.
Often, the destruction or jamming mechanismis associated with corrosion, which is actively developing on the metal parts of the system. But if frameless construction is less susceptible to corrosion processes, the frame is very much suffering from rust.
In hybrid brushes this problem is solved by the followingway. All hinges and rocker arms are housed in a sealed enclosure that completely protects the parts from moisture or dirt. This approach has significantly prolonged the life of this node. Well, the rubber bands of the brushes can be replaced separately if necessary. Therefore, we can safely say that the key advantage of brushes of this type is a sealed casing that creates an additional clamping force and is practically not visible.
Of course, it is impossible not to consider the main advantages of hybrid brushes. They are as follows:
As for the shortcomings, then he is only one, andis a fairly high price. This is due to the complex design and large costs of producing such a product. In the rest it is an excellent option for all-season use, unlike frameless and frame wipers. Well, now let's go further, and consider the most popular manufacturers.
If another 5-10 years ago, companies that producelike brushes, there were not so many, now the situation has changed. Almost every organization that worked in this direction, partly or completely switched to the production of hybrid brushes.
One of the most popular companies thathas only positive feedback - "Denso". Brushes from this manufacturer are installed as standard on such models of cars as BMW X5 and X6, "Grand Cherokee", "Lexus", "Toyota" and others. All this is due to unique properties. Such brushes easily tolerate temperature changes and throughout the life of the car effectively clean the windscreen. For brushes "Denso" is characterized by a low profile and a black matte color, which makes them stylish and almost invisible.
I would like to single out a separate itemrange. Currently, you can find about 1700 options, which allows you to install data brushes for 85% of cars in the European park. This indicates that almost on any machine you can pick up the brushes "Denso".
In addition to a wide range of products, "Denso" amongcompetitors will be distinguished by high quality. This applies to both the mechanisms that are under the casing, and directly the gum. It is made with the addition of rubber, which makes it ductile at all temperatures. Such a product does not crack in the first year of operation and does not creak. High-compression rubber guarantees a long service life. Therefore, it makes sense to pay for such brushes more, because they work longer than usual.
But these wipers are very popular withmotorists do not use. If "Denso" is a quality Japanese product, then "Sparko" is often the most usual "China" wrapped in a nice package. Many drivers note that, apart from the pleasant appearance, these brushes no longer have advantages. Is it really? The answer is uniquely difficult. But, judging by the fact that opinions were divided 50/50, it is better to avoid such goods. After all, for the same money you can take already proven "Denso". As for "Sparko," many have identified the following shortcomings:
All this suggests that taking such a product hardly makes sense, especially since brushes that have not cleared glass at the right time can cause an accident.
If we understood with Chinese brushes and cameto the conclusion that they should not be taken, then European brands are not so unambiguous. Take, for example, the German "Heyer", which many praise. These hybrid brushes at a price comparable to "Denso", that is, about 1000 rubles per set. Work for 2 years regularly. After this, it is better to replace them with new ones.
There are noteworthy and domestic brands.For example, a hybrid wiper blade Hella. The kit costs about 500 rubles, which is not too expensive. Among advantages it is necessary to allocate the following: the thickened elastic with a graphite covering guarantees long service life, optimum distribution of loading on all area that allows to remove a dirt from a windshield evenly. In addition, it is worth highlighting a very attractive design. The mechanism and the brushes themselves are made in black matte color. The low profile makes them almost invisible, and the way of fastening with a hook is universal. In general, it is an excellent choice for relatively little money.
Hybrid brushes are very convenient and effective.It is because of their universality and a large number of strengths that they have won universal recognition. A bright leader for many years is the Japanese company "Denso", which stands out among the competitors not only with high quality brushes, but also with a huge assortment. Another thing is that not every car dealer can find such brushes, and they are not cheap, so not everyone will buy them. In this case, you can pay attention to the domestic "Hella". They are budgetary, but they are very good in quality.
Today many car owners completely refusedfrom frameless and frame brushes in favor of hybrid. The latter, in addition to the high cost, have practically no shortcomings. Although much depends on the chosen brand. Japanese, American and European hybrid brushes are often very good. Domestic ones are also worthy, but you need to choose the tested ones. Before buying it is advisable to get acquainted with the information on thematic forums. There, experienced motorists share their impressions of a particular brand. It is also desirable to choose the right brush size. This information can be found in the manual.
