Some really good stuff in this package: I hated to click the Meh button, wish there was a “Wow” button. The knives look stupid though, and I already have most of the things included. Love the divided glass storage containers…
Great last picture, altho on my desktop the selection button for it is blocked by the tshirt picture in the verbiage. But if you click on the bowl of salad you’ll see it.
Can the people knocking this deal elaborate a little more on why I should NOT buy these? The knives have pretty good reviews but very few. The bakeware looks standard. What specifically is wrong with these things?
@phaedrusnyc, my reaction is that the bundle is over-priced for the items I’d actually use. I have at least a zillion knives & lots of the other stuff. YMMV.
The knives look like crap. Knives with the cutouts like that are poorly balanced and the cutouts tend to make slicing things more difficult. Also, for most kitchen duties a sharp straight edge is much better than a serrated one.
The divided storage pieces are a pain in the ass for storage when not being used, because they don’t stack at all.
I do like the silicon grip and lift thing, and that would get used often by me.
The rest is either cheap filler (refrigerator mats), stuff that will likely not get used much (steamer pans), or stuff that’s easy and cheap to get elsewhere (the bakeware).
All of that said, for the price, if you need a couple of these things, go for it. Also, this is just my opinion and some people might like some of the things I don’t like.
@phaedrusnyc I have the bakeware and use it all the time. It is very heavy duty and really easy to clean. I’m considering getting this deal for some of the other products and using the bakeware set as a future gift.
@phaedrusnyc@yoda133113 I bought some of these items on previous deals. I didn’t buy the knife set for reasons similar to what @yoda133113 says (Yoda always has great wisdom.) Seems like a $20 knife set with a “gimmick” of the open blades.
The glass compartment containers are nice quality. It’s true that they can’t stack due to the divider system. But they are well-made.
The fridge mats are just basically what you expect them to be – you can buy rolls of the material, usually for less, which you can cut to size. However these offer the advantage of coming in fun colors. They actually did fit my fridge drawers (just had to trim length a bit, but width was perfect). So overall I guess I’m happy with them.
Ordered the bakeware set also but that one hasn’t arrived yet.
Honestly if I hadn’t already bought the major items, except the knives, I would have jumped in on this deal for a bit more than I paid for 1/2 the items.
If you need all or most of these things, it’s a pretty sweet deal.
If you only need one or two, check morningsave for the individual components. Most are actively for sale:
EasySlice 5pc knife set
Heidi & Oak Refrigerator Mats
Masions 3 divided glass containers and lids
Magic Chef steamer set
The bakeware and hot pads are not live deals right now.

Tempted to get this for a young couple buying their first house. But, I want to keep them as friends.
Wish this had been my irk
But I did get CLAWZ
Hmm, it looks like most of this stuff involves cooking. That leaves me out.

@bugger So reminds me of growing up as a kid in East Germany 1950’s
imagine cleaning those knives
@braxtron Imagine the futility of trying to pick all of the fragments of stainless steel out of your food after attempting to use those knives once.
If you’re getting your first apartment in the middle of winter during a pandemic these are perfect.
An expensive kitchen Irk with the suspense removed.
RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!

Everything but the kitchen sink? (I’ll show myself out.)
the hot lift thing is cool, and comes in my favorite color (green). otherwise, don’t need any of the rest.
i’m just baffled as to why they chose a bathroom sink to picture washing the refrigerator mats in. just easier to photoshop that day or…

Crap salad.

No power bank?
No deal.

@phaedrusnyc Just my 2 cents:

@yoda133113 I didn’t know those facts about knives, so you’ve helped a lot. Thanks!

Hard to wrap my head around all the parts
@rmeden ya this is a strange bundle of stuff
@rmeden I don’t think they are meant to be eaten.
Why are the separated containers shown as items but not listed in the box?
@jbirdjess the “Borosilicate Glass Divided Containers” are listed above and in the images. Where are they missing?
@esushi when I looked in the “what’s in the box” specifications, I didn’t see them listed. I’ll go back and look at it again
This looks like what you’d find in an AirBnB kitchenette. Maybe a couple of dishes and some silverware… oh well, maybe tomorrow? (Craptastic.)
