    Has anyone used windshield washer tablets? Are they any good?

    They are very cheap (100 tablets for about $7) and convenient to use.

    The one negative is that they will not prevent the water from freezing in the winter.

    I would avoid these altogether. Use the good old fashion washer fluid in the gallon bottle.
    These can cause damage to the pump from undissolved pieces getting into it.

    Washer fluid is part of proper maintenance so going cheap is the last thing you want to do.

    Agreed, they look like snake oil.

    It appears it does lower the freezing temperature slightly to -5c (23F). I like the legal disclaimer - "Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition."

    Curious if it has salt in it.

    The perfect recipe to put rust around the edge of the windshield.
