ORO Designer Silicone Heat Resistant Flexible Reviews Summary

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "These are a little larger but still a good shape and flexible...BUT the attachment of the handle seems much more solid and I'm hoping they last a lot longer."
• "It looks sturdy, yet even manages to look elegant."
• "A great small silicone spatula. Perfect size for small foods in the fry pan. Strong construction, so it should last a long time."
• "This spatula seems very well made and perfect for none stick cookware."
• "The steel body is thick and heavy without any sharp edges or burrs or markings other than the brushed finish."
• "It's sturdy, well-made, and I think it will last quite a long time."
• "I have gone through many spatulas-trying to find a good one-this is a good one!"

Cons:

• "I ordered one, the metal spine was out of the plastic in the back. Returned it, they sent another one with the metal spine out of its back also."
• "Total disappointment... after light use (no more than two dozen times) and dishwasher cleaning, an edge has torn."
• "The silicone edging separated from the metal base which results in the metal scraping the surface of my expensive all-clad pans."
• "The spatula part is completely sealed by the rubbery substance but you can see rust marks through the rubber on the steel and I've only used it twice."
• "The first two had the metal from the handle break through the flipper, making them unusable."
• "The metal part inside the spatula ripped through the silicone."
• "I've only used it a few times and it already has the covering of the spatula chipping off. Not very sturdy."

Functionality and Usability

Pros:

• "I use this on a Weber griddle and it works great. Very light weight and comfortable to use."
• "It can be left next to a hot stove without becoming too hot to handle, and it won't flop around like some spatulas."
• "like the vendor stated, it does not melt. the larger size here makes flipping pancakes easy."
• "It's wide enough to roll and flip a 4 or 5 (maybe more) egg omelet without breaking it up."
• "I can easily lift and move large, filled pancakes, chops and combo grilled sandwiches that fall off of narrow or less rigid spatulas."
• "It can withstand the heat, doesn’t scratch the griddle and is thin enough to slide under the food without being too flexible."
• "They are very durable and last a long time."

Cons:

• "This is an odd utensil... However, the edges are VERY pliable, so it's not able to cut like an all metal tool."
• "It isn't easy to flip an egg with it because of this. If you are flipping something harder like pancakes, it works well."
• "This spatula is exactly what I wanted, but at 6 inches wide, the food you’re wanting to turn has to be a good bit away from the edge of the skillet."
• "Not only is this spatula way too short, but the spatula head started to bend after first use & this has only gotten worse."
• "The handle is very short... I would not recommend using it to flip anything in a frying pan without wearing an oven mit."
• "If you’re making thin Swedish pancakes or French crêpes, this is probably not the spatula for you."
• "The silicone is too floppy to slid under many foods without the tip curling up."

Customer Service and Warranty

Pros:

• "I highly recommend this brand and it comes with a forever warranty and 100% US-based customer support."
• "I actually did have this spatula rip slightly on one corner, but I contacted the company and they immediately sent me a new one, honoring their warranty."
• "Now, the company offers a lifetime guarantee on their products."
• "Fortunately the product is cover by “forever warranty” and they replaced the item without charge."
• "Di Oro was quick to honor their lifetime warranty and send out a brand new Classic spatula as a replacement."
• "The warrant is great, sent a request for replacement and it was here in no time."
• "Lucky for me the DI ORO brand warranties their products for life and when my cookie turner developed a split in the silicone, the company sent me a brand new replacement with receipt and pic."

Cons:

• "I was about four months into using this spatula when the corner silicone broke off, exposing the metal."
• "Bought one 2 years ago and it failed. Replaced it under the lifetime warranty with no problem. Now a year later and this one's breaking."
• "Purchased in September 2020 and it started falling apart a few months later."
• "Unfortunately with light use and washing in the dishwasher this did not last. Makes me a bit sad. It lasted less than three months."
• "My old one broke at the end of the metal inside the silicone blade. This one will eventually break also, and then I'll replace it."
• "I loved this spatula until the rubber split away from the inside metal piece just like some other reviewers have said."
• "Reached out to the company but got no response."
