Amazon reviewers have had a few issues with this product, but many give it five stars and the overall rating for the 10 piece set is 4 out of 5 stars. A five star reviewer says:
"So far I just love these pans!! You barely have to use any olive oil, which makes for healthier cooking. As for some of the negative reviews, if you read the instructions in the 1st place and realize you CANNOT put these in the dishwasher, then you will have no problems. Clean up on these Calphalon pans is a snap. Just make sure they cool completely before you put in hot soapy water."
A few long time users give the product one star out of five at Amazon. One says the initial excitement wore off after finding that the nonstick surface was not long-lasting,

"Initially I LOVED the cookware. Lids fit well, heated evenly, nothing stuck to the surface. After about a year, despite following all care instructions, the nonstick surfaces stopped working. Thinking I just got a defective set, I sent it back to Calphalon. No problem with the return, they replaced the pieces without hesitation. Almost a year later that set too had the same sticking issues. The skillet I have sent back several times.
"I'm tired of paying shipping and dealing with the hassle of replacement. I'm not alone in my complaints. A neighbor has the same cookware and the same issues. We are both in search of new cookware. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet, but it will definitely not be Calphalon!"
