Ya I've seen the advertisement on the MO, but did not see any FR leh.

The wipers that I used cannot last for one year. The one from TC initially was good, but think half year and started to crack.

Bro devilgundam, FR is field report, meaning personal experience that one had gone through. In such case, it would mean the result that one feels or thinks after using the product. It is very subjective.

yup FR is subjective to what each user encounter...i used different types of wiper like Twister, NWB, normal Bosch....IMHO none can compare to aerotwin....

Yes, refill are just the rubber piece without the frame. You cut to size and slot it in. Less wastage, environmental friendlier.
