Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "These are some of the best non-stick fry pans I've ever bought they work amazing they're easy to clean and I think I only paid like 1995 for them I got such a great deal there a great great product I suggest them highly."
  • "I AM AMAZED AT THE QUALITY AND PACKAGING. VERY NICE HEAVY DUTY PANS!"
  • "The material seems to be very nice quality."
  • "The pots and pans are sturdy and easy to clean."
  • "The non-stick coating has proven to be a game-changer, ensuring easy food release and a hassle-free cleaning process."
  • "The make of the metal, the non stick surfaces, the bottoms being thick and flat, and even the handles are excellent and comfortable."
  • "The construction feels durable and well-made, offering even heat distribution during cooking."

Cons:

  • "After just 1 year this set of pots and pans is all but trash. The nonstick coating wears away quickly and it scratches very easily."
  • "Pans are super flimsy and rock around a bit, they don’t have the weight which makes them feel cheap."
  • "The price is cheap because the product is cheap."
  • "However, they warped very quickly and they are thin and food burns easily."
  • "The entire set is cheaply made and easily scratched, using teflon utensils."
  • "The inner lining started peeling off during our first use."
  • "The nonstick material is literally chipping off the pots."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "I LOVE the glass lids."
  • "The sleek black design adds a modern touch to any kitchen, making it not just practical but aesthetically pleasing."
  • "The pans have comfortable handles and the included lids are very helpful."
  • "All of the lids have a hole in the top to vent, which is much nicer than tilting the lid to the side to vent."
  • "The lids fit perfectly and nothing was loose or had an odd fitment (handles, etc.)."
  • "The flat bottoms heat VERY evenly!"
  • "Even heat distribution, flat bottoms and easy to stack for storage."

Cons:

  • "A lid fell on the floor and the knob broke off."
  • "The area where the handle was wasn't round, and instead was more flat."
  • "The parts that cover up the screws, for the handles, are flat on the ends (instead of slopped all the way) so food is constantly getting stuck in it."
  • "A pot also fell onto the floor and now there's a dent."
  • "Dents occur soo easily and then the lid(s) no longer fit(s) snuggly."
  • "The large pan temporarily warps under high heat, which makes it wobble on the cook top."
  • "But know that the pot lids and pans are NOT compatible."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "This set works like it should be pricey, but isn't. If I payed $100 or $150 dollars for this I would not be upset in the slightest. It's a steal."
  • "For a three pan set at $30, you can't beat it."
  • "I am satisfied enough with this product. Would I recommend this to a friend? Heck yeah!"
  • "Such a great value for the price."
  • "I will definitely order another set to have since I cook more."
  • "Seriously this is a great deal."
  • "Purchased this bundle on a prime day special! Quality products with an excellent price."

Cons:

  • "Do not recommend this product, quite unsafe Amazon..."
  • "The price is cheap because the product is cheap."
  • "This whole set should be in the $30 range not $40."
  • "Save your money and buy another brand at a higher cost."
  • "The product is of the cheapest quality."
  • "As much as they have held up for the most part, I still don't consider the cost worth it."
  • "What a waste of money."

User Experience

Pros:

  • "Lightweight, work well, easy to clean and inexpensive."
  • "Great set for a basic bachelor kitchen. I haven't had any issues with scratches or scuffing like I saw in some other reviews, but I also only use silicone or wood cooking utensils."
  • "I've used the 10' inch pan everyday, and it is so easy to clean."
  • "Best if only cooking for 1-2 people."
  • "I use them all the time for sauces and searing meats! Pan heats up right away and super easy to clean!"
  • "The non-stick coating works."
  • "These are perfect for someone who is learning to cook and doesn’t need anything 'fancy.'"

Cons:

  • "The smallest pan is pitting inside on the bottom."
  • "Bought these two months ago. Used the medium-sized one once, noticed it was peeling and pitched it figuring that the price was still good for the remaining two."
  • "I believe I had my measurements wrong because I thought they would be big pots and pans. The sizes are actually medium-small in person."
  • "The bottom of the small frying pan and one of the pans are ruined after less than one month."
  • "Within one month these pans have already FAILED."
  • "The handle on one has already broken. Then, today, the handle of the smallest pot started melting."
  • "The handle nearly caught fire just boiling some water."
