Side by Side Comparison of: Sunbeam vs IKEA vs Reston Lloyd vs Elite Cuisine

Great price, fits in well.

daughter was so pleased with her gift no problems at all

Love these. Great color to match my kitchen. They work great for all the things I have cooked. Highly recommend product and seller!

I bought these for one of my brother's homes and wanted to get something that was out of the ordinary not your everyday silver pots. They were beautiful!

I just moved into my first home, these came in fast and work great... plus we love the color and think the vented lids are a huge plus!

I had bought a set of these when we went to Ikea for the first time. Well, we only bought one set thinking since there are only two of us in the home we obviously had plenty, not! I was so thrilled to out that they were available on Amazon and saved me another 4 hour drive to Ikea. These are the exact same ones I had previously purchased. Thank you so much for saving me the drive!!!

I purchased these to use as camping eating utensils. They are very simple, easy to clean, and yes, the small fork is very small. However, I have small children so the small forks are actually perfect sized for my little ones. These pack up easily and don't take up much room. The handles are thin but comfortable to hold. The curves and design on these utensils are pleasant and good quality.

The smaller fork and spoon are smaller than those typically found in sets in the United States as some reviewers have pointed out. They are not comically small though, my children and I actually prefer them. I love this set, they seem sturdy and came out of the dishwasher beautifully. You can get them for $7.99 per set currently at Ikea online, however for us for the two sets we purchased, they added a flat $10 shipping charge. This made it $1 more for us to receive the flatware faster with PRIME (no shipping added). The out of pocket expense was the same.

These don't feel cheap - they're a nice weight, and smooth + functional modern design. Deep, wide soup spoons, and cute smaller teaspoons. The knives are a bit thin, but have a point and sharp serration that cuts easily. The smaller forks and spoons can be used by an adult, but we use them most often for our preschoolers - they're a perfect step up from the bulbous plastic-handled toddler utensils. I usually have a hard time paying the higher prices for IKEA items on Amazon, but this utensil set is well worth it!

This is a great value for everyday flatware. Sturdy, but not expensive. I ordered two sets so that I don't have to run the dishwasher as often. The clean Nordic design is downright elegant. The pieces are light but hold up well. They work for both right and left-handed people. Another IKEA winner for the value conscious who like simplicity in design. They can be hand-washed or run through the dishwasher. I received this item free and/or at a discount in exchange for using it and providing my honest, unbiased feedback - which I give on *all* items I review, regardless of purchase price. All opinions are my own. I have not been compensated further. I *never* guarantee a positive review.

so worth of money！！！！！！no words to complain！cheap but simple design！simple without any decoration！that is what I want！

Not as heavy as I thought they would be. Otherwise fine.

They work as starter gear for your kitchen. My only complaint would be that the box they came in was pretty beat up looking. But product itself was fine

As other reviewers mentioned, you can expect what you pay for. It is a nice little set, but not a heavy duty set for major cooking for a family. As an bariatric surgery, empty nester, with my husband away a lot, it is perfect for me to reheat my small meals or to make a small meal for myself. I love the color. The lids fit well. Buy according to your needs and you will not be disappointed.

It was a good value for the money however the pots are very light and thin. I hope they hold up with use.

I only had one problem with the fry pan when I went to make pancakes. The middle of the pan started to burn. Later I soaked it and used some soft scrub and a sponge , with a bit of elbow greese , it came off. Has not happened sence

Nice set at a reasonable price. Would have preferred that the tongs on the forks were larger, hard to tell from this picture but all forks more resemble salad forks instead of full sized forks.

Great product for a great price! Simple, sturdy, and affordable. I will say that the smaller forks and spoons are *very* small. I have little children, so they are perfect for my family, but if I didn't have kids, I might not be thrilled about the size (no matter how cute tiny flatware may be).

Love them it's just that the spoons are kind of shallow and oddly shaped

The smaller spoon and fork are a bit on the small side, but I don't really notice. The look nice and do the job while the OCD part of me can rest easy knowing that they are uniform and match.The small spoon holds up to cream in the carton, but be reasonable - it's not got going to cut through a hard block of the cheap stuff but holds up well enough.

Bought these because they were inexpensive and got decent reviews. They are perfect for what I need them for...but I'm not particular. Love the shape of the spoons!! The small forks & spoons are adorable, I use those most often. I've always felt that flatware is gigantic for my wee hands, but these are great! Love that the knives have a partially serrated blade! They can be used as replacements for steak knives...which I hardly ever use. Teeth make great knives and I can pull things apart with my fingers..... but I'm not much of a 'lady'. Would buy again...but I don't have guests and I don't like washing dishes....so one is great for me, for now.

For the price, this is a good set of silverware. However, I would rather just have more regular-sized spoons and forks instead of these teensy ones (shown in the stock photo as the teaspoon and dessert/salad fork on the outermost edges). I feel like I have baby T-rex hands when I eat with these-just my own experience they are subjective for everyone :) !Other that than issue, it's really a good set-these are shiny, and my set was free of any dings. The non-tiny forks and spoons are a decent adult size. It comes in a cardboard box with an open face set in plastic, displaying all the silverware. The knife is serrated! Dishwasher safe.

Cute colors, poor quality. Enough said.

Before how long you have the pot on the stove it leave a a rim of an impression of the burner on the bottom of the pot when you put it for too long we need to be careful of this

It's nice little short-term/starter set for an apartment or camper. The poor quality that other reviewers talk about is true. But! The price is right.

This set has been just fine for me. I read some reviews that said the paint and or stick free coating came off easily, so I have used these 'gently, and not had a problem. I did see a tiny spot where the paint was coming off, so that's when I got more gentle with them, and have had no further problems. I only use bamboo utensils with this set, and make sure I use a gentle detergent and dry them thoroughly. Initially, I needed some sauce pans, and loved the price and color of these, so I got the entire set. If you want a rugged set of cookware, this is not the one for you. But if you can cook gently, and want a splash of color in your kitchen, but don't want to pay an arm and a leg, you'll enjoy this cute little set.

Bought these for my daughter's first apartment. It is expensive to buy everything needed to set up a home and kitchen. This set gives her something to start out with, but they won't last a really long time.

For the price the set is pretty good. It was this or I was going to hit up the dollar store as I only needed a temp set between moves. The small spoon is very very small, not really useful. I have not had any problems with rust or stains.

I like the tiny spoons! However, I load the dishwasher with the eating surfaces above the basket (as, I believe, most people do) and the handles sometimes slip between the silverware basket holes.

Decent set, and more durable than many diner sets. My only real complaint is that the "large" spoon and fork are what I'd call "normal" sized, and the smaller fork and spoon are quite close to baby spoon sized. It's still a decent, cheep set of 4

Overall it's pretty much just OK...The big forks and big spoons are fine, but the small spoons and small forks are comically small. Like small to the point where adults wouldn't really have a use for them in day-to-day life.The butter knifes are also a little too serrated. You could almost use them to cut steak with, which is kind of unnecessary when you're just buttering bread or toast.I guess for the price they're ok, but you can probably do better elsewhere.

i dont not like these pieces of flatware but they were different than i expected. the larger fork and spoon are over the average size and then smaller fork and spoon are below below the average size. i ended up using all the smaller flatware pieces as toddler utensils because they are really small and i happen to have 2 little girls. i do like the versatility of the butter/steak knives.

I was so happy to find an inexpensive silverware set... Arrival was timely, the design is cute, and the set is as described. What I didn't think about when I decided I like the simplistic, smooth mirror type surface look, was handwashing these things: it doesn't matter how nice a brand of dish soap I use (Dawn with sheeting action), or which way I put them in the dishrack silverware holder (I usually put them mouth side up to ensure that part of the silverware doesn't get gooped up with any water that didn't drain out of the holder, but I tried it both ways), they always come out looking GREASY AND DIRTY. I use Scott's blue non-stick coating-safe scrubby sponges, and I have washed them every which way, but they leave EVERY mark and drop of water visible bc of the nice smooth mirror finish that I liked so much. GRRR. I HATE dirty looking dishes—especially if they're clean (i.e. dishes with stains in them, or this type of thing). I haven't put them in a dishwasher, so I don't know if the heat drying would make a difference, but I suspect they'd come out similar. This was noticeable right away, and bc I don't have a water softener, I either have to live with dirty looking silverware, dry them right away and use paper towels or dry gloves to put them away, or just buy another (different set). The price was nice—but sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

Beautiful color and they are good for cooking 1 meal. After using the medium pot 1x the pot burned to a point where it could not be cleaned. The rice I was cooking wasn't really burned but the pot was. I threw it away after soaking it for two days. The other pot somehow got scratches on it even though I used it twice. They heat up really fast if all you want to do is boil water. But too fast for cooking anything slowly. Easy to burn and easy to scratch = not worth it. Buy a better brand if you're a chef or a wanna be chef.

they are sooo thin, you have even to wash them with really care or you will torn them, if you can spend a little bit more money in a set, will strongly recomend you to dont buy this one because of the thin and delicate they are, by other hand, they are lightweight and you can cook well in them in low to medium fire. I mean they are not ugly or bad, but if you will use them frequently I recomend to get better ones, these are like toys more than cooking utensils.

I was so excited when I got these. I was hoping that this would be a set I could send off with one of my older kids in a few years. Unfortunately not. I have tried to be super gentle on these pans and the teflon has already started coming off and it's rusting on the inside of the smaller pot. On the other ones the bottoms discolored within the first use or two. I am so disappointed. I am really glad I didn't buy these at full price.

the pots were o.k for the fist week then rust started developing in them. Also materials seem to be stripping off the inside of the pots while cooking. At first I thought it was from the food but on close observation it looked like a transparent inner linning was coming off at high temperatures. Would honestly not buy them again as wife was upset.

These items are as pictured, but the non-stick doesn't work at all. I had to buy a different pan to handle eggs and pancakes, anything sticky really. The saucepans are only being used for things like soup because rice and pasta stick to the bottom. Pretty colour though, and good price if you're on a budget.

I didn't try it, but it feels like you could bend the knife with 2 fingers.

The knives and larger forks and spoons are fine, but if you're not a fan of tiny spoons and forks I suggest going with a different product.

These are hilarious, the tiniest little forks and spoons I have ever seen, would be good for a childs doll house.

I read the reviews and thought Hurrah!!! Love the design but PLEASE!!!!! Like TIN!!!!! Spoons so shallow they are useless. The only cool thing is the knives are razor sharp. I would die of embarrassment using these with guests. Maybe to camp with!!!!

Okay. Here is the truth.This silverware set is durable but, it is true that the small spoon and fork is truly made for babies, not adults. If you have a small mouth (lol, no boyfriend for you) this will be a great set for you and your big mouth friends.

Feels more like something you would get with your meal on an airplane than real flatware. A good value for the money (because it's very cheap) and definitely functional, but not anything like what you would buy at, say, Crate and Barrel or a department store. The pieces are very small and light.

I had to get a refund. I got them and rinsed them all in warm water with a microfiber cloth and let them dry. I then put them on medium heat on a clean glass top stove for 30 seconds (so that I could then season them with a little oil, as you're supposed to do with non stick pans) and not only did they not lay flat on the stove, two them started to smoke and fume...the smell was AWFUL! I tried contacting the information on the manufacture warranty first and they never responded. So I went through Amazon to get a refund. Amazon customer service was great...but there is something defective and not safe in the manufacturing of these pans. Also you should know the care instructions say to not use soap on these pans to only wash them with water lemon and vinegar and never use a dishwasher or harsh scrubbing instrument. And to never use anything above medium heat. I followed these somewhat ridiculous care instructions and still had problems. please don't buy them unless you plan on not using them on the stove.

Normally i write something like "great for the occasional user" but these pots are deteriorating with every HAND wash. They are however great for college kids living in a dorm, where they can use them as storage bc they don't have an oven.

More seriously, the handle gets too hot, there are blue wires sticking out of the rim, and they are getting harder and harder to clean with every use. Also, some assembly May be required! I had to screw on the handles to the lid. Saving up for a new set so that when these crap out I'll have some money for a nice set.

P.s. i use a pot/pan less than once a week. Goes to show how much these things can handle

I am just using the frying pan for the first time to cook a chicken breast and the Teflon melt completely contaminated the chicken and burning with a terrible and dangerous smell. The smoke cover my house and the fire alarm turn on. This is a terrible product I will try to contact sunbeam to see what they said.

It is very low category item. Cooking with this is not at all possible. It is heated within 2/3 minutes and food gets burned. More Over the non-stick layer breaks and mix into food if cooked 10/ 20 minutes in even low heat. I think there is no non-stick layer at all in this item, It has been only colored. Any other brand like Mainstays, Imusa is far more better than this item.

I have only had the pots and pans two weeks and the inside black coating has already come off of it!!!!! I do not use metal cooking utensils! I am NOT happy at all with this purchase, and I am going to use my warranty to purchase other cookware.

utensils were much too small . item returned

Teaspoons were more like toddler spoons. Handles needed to be longer, you know, for adults

Tiny baby forks and spoons. Ours didn't even come with the right sizes. One fork and spoon on top was normal size, the rest were for babies.

Poor quality, rust very easily, much less expensive at the Ikea store

It arrived on time but really dissapointed when i found sharp edges in two spoons.

The fork has a design flaw! The fork does not stab food while eating. The two inner spokes are made correctly but the two outer spokes are made fancy and keep the fork from stabbing food.
