I got tired of doing the gas pedal dance (a 2-step) when I went to work while it was snowing. On the level, the vacuum wipers were OK. Then I would reach a hill where I would have to give it some gas and the wipers would stop.

When I couldn't see much any more, I would let up on the gas (uphill still) and after 1 swipe of the wiper blades, I would tromp on the gas, stopping the wipers again. Repeated as needed until I cruised down the hill on the other side.

That's why I went to electric wipers.
