Rating: - Its a very good set of cookware!
I bought the Circulon 2 "10-picece" cookware set in March 2004. I have been using them daily and found they are very satisfactory. Particularly the 10.5" / 4-Qt Covered Saute with helper handle - it is big and deep enough to try a big portion of veggie or stew meat with sauce. I use it to cook Asia style soup noodle too! I rarely use the 8" and 10" open french skillets as I found they are not big enough. Their sizes are fit to fry 1 or at most 2 pork chop at a time. I prefer to use the 10.5" / 4-Qt Covered Saute so that I can make 4 pork chop at a time. The 1- and 2-Qt covered saucepans are in good size too.
The non-sticking coating is really promising. It doesn't stick and is extremely easy to clean. I never use dishwasher to clean them as it is so advised by the instruction. The non-sticking coating is durable and has no sign of scratch despite I use them to cook every day (normally I use bamboo chopstick to help cooking).
It takes me some time before I decided to buy this 10-piece set cookware as I think it is quite expensive ($200). I looked at them a few times when I visited department stores. Their appearance looks really nice. Based on the terrific customer review, I finally bought it. I'm very satisfied with this set of cookware and would highly recommend it to someone who wants to have a set of high quality cookware.

Rating: - Great Starter Cookware Set
I bought this cookware set and love it. The nonstick coating works very well and is very easy to clean. They say that you can't use a Brillo pad to clean it or you will ruin the nonstick coating, so be careful. I use a scrubbing pad very gently on it and it seems to be fine. You don't need to use much elbow grease to get them clean, though. I have used all the items and they are all perfect for what they are designed for. However there is a definate need for a larger skillet. I went out and bought a deep 12 inch skillet and it really fills out the set. I haven't needed any other pans yet, but I think these will keep us covered pretty well. But you definately need the 12 inch skillet/stir fry pan.

PROS:
-Affordable
-Fits the needs for the everyday cook
-Very attractive design and look
-The lids keep the steam in the pot/pan very well
-Heat is very well distributed when cooking
-Doesn't burn items very easily

CONS:
-12 inch skillet is a much that is not included in the set
-Somewhat hard to keep the bottoms perfectly clean

All in all, this is a great set for the everyday cook. They are attractive, very functional, and affordable; the three things that you should look for in a cooking set.

Rating: - Customers Beware!!!
I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.
