Others said they were "extremely happy with it" after two years of use, while another said, "It's lasted us eight years and it's still like new."

2. The Compact Cookware 6pc Set, $59.99

"Those pots are the best !! Fits neatly and I love that the handles don't stick out," says a previous customer.

Users have also been loving the non-stick coating and the detachable handles.
