Good set underwhelming mop dial (compared to picture)
581486
This is a typical Anne Klein set, well made, sophisticated and beautiful. But a couple issues: In the lead picture you see a very striking almost grey tone MOP dial with a ton of depth. It probably is the case that each one is different, but mine certainly looks nothing like that. Mine has a very flat, very white dial with just a hint of opalescence/rainbow. Like wise the pearls are closer to a cheap plastic look than the grey pictures would lead you to believe. Look at the picture of the watch in the box to get a better idea of the actual color--of mine anyway. Still other than that its all well executed. Oh except the fact the battery is dead. Its easy to replace, but I'm not sure what it is about Anne Klein watches that make them so prone to bad batteries. Maybe it is the stock batteries they use? I can't think of another amazon watch that has had this problem. But this marks the 2nd AK watch to have this problem--and the first one i ever bought had the battery die after a week. Anyway the rest of watch is a beautiful rose gold color that looks a bit more coppery than rose but is still very pretty. The numbers are big and the hands are easy to read. It keeps normal quartz time assuming no battery issues. The back of the bracelet is adjustable without tools. The cuffs are all pretty so long as you don't have to high hopes for the pearls. The two closed ones can also be adjusted.

I have 3 other Invicta watches, all of which I like,  and wanted an all "gold" watch.  My favorite is a stainless steel Pro Divers watch that I wear most of the time.  This one looks a little "chintzy" to me and I really do not like the dial color: champagne-sunray, which is not accurately shown on the photo, which looks white.  It has a wavy cheap look to it. I realize this is a value priced watch, but the three small dials are relatively functionless - hours, minutes, and seconds.  I can read that from the dial!  I have not figured out how to adjust the minutes on one of these small dial, but it does not really matter, since it is much easier to read the minutes on the large dial.  Looks pretty good, but not as impressive as the other Invicta watches that I have.

Pretty nice set of pans.

The enclosed instructions are a bit more restrictive than what is in the listing, but nothing that is a deal breaker for me. They suggest not using a dishwasher every time and not to use steel wool, but rather to soak left on food. The handle does get hot so you'll need to use a pot holder or oven mitt. I found it somewhat awkward to transfer a full pan. I am sure I'll get used to it in time.

The negatives are minor and certainly worth the $60 or $80 savings over the high end pans.

Look at this watch closely...it is not readily apparent at first:
the dial color on these "II Collection" watches is two-tone, with a large, lighter colored square centered in the middle...not a very classic look...for me, it cheapens the appearance.
Also, the quartz is Japanese [versus Swiss, which most of their previous models offer].
The leather is a classier touch [though it doesn't go with the new dial design...overall, kind of a schizoid look to me].
On the positive side, the inner seconds dial is more readable than earlier designs.
Maybe this watch will be more to others' tastes, though...

I really wanted to love this thing, but it doesn't seem to actually clean my floor. It feels like I'm just using a dirty mop with a short plug. I waited to review because I wanted to see how it lasted. It is still usable, but it broke fairly quickly. The plastic is cheap & my mop makes a noise when it releases steam that sounds like a T-Rex (great if you love Jurassic Park). But, the big problem is that there is a small leak that I can't quite pinpoint that when steam is released, it dripping boiling hot water on my feet. OUCH! I'm hard on my cleaning equipment, so maybe it's just user difficulty, but I don't think I'd recommend this item.

After using this set for a while, I have discovered that this set is a mixed bag. First, two of out of the three brushes (the Insane Detail and Regiment) have a triangular shape to them. The Small Drybrush is a standard round-handled brush. The triangle brush handles  serve two purposes: the first is that it is more comfortable to hold in a standard "pencil" grip and the second is that they do not roll on the table when you lay them flat.

The Insane Detail brush has a very fine point, but unfortunately has a tendency to "fishtail" or have the point split into two lines when drawing a brush stroke. You can easily shape it back to a fine point, but it will occasionally repeat this behavior, even with minimal pressure. For detail work, such as eyes, this is very annoying. I have tried thinning the paint down quite a bit, and this helps a little bit but not enough. Also, because the point is so small, paint tends to dry on the brush even before you get to lay it down. This is really not the fault of this brush in particular, just an observation.

The Small Drybrush is neither great nor terrible, it is decidedly average. I have used similar style stubby synthetic brushes and I do not notice any perceivable difference. Not a whole lot to say about it, really. It holds its shape reasonably well, and being synthetic means it can take a bit more abuse than a natural hair brush can. This is useful since drybrushing itself is a bit rough of brushes.

The Regiment is a natural Rotmarder hair (Weasel; Kolinsky) brush that has shined in this set. I have used it extensively, and it keeps a nice fine point and doesn't tend to split or fish-tail much. I haven't had the opportunity to compare it to the gold standard Kolinsky sable brushes out there (W&N Series 7, Raphael 8404), but compared to the inexpensive hobby brushes I have purchased thus far, it is outstanding. It is a very good size for base-coating smaller miniatures, such as Warhammer infantry or D&D-style figurines. The point is suitable for most applications, save very small eyes. All in all, a very good brush for the application.

All in all, the Regiment brush alone in my pack is very good - quality might differ from package to package, but from my experience the Regiment brush is an easy recommendation, especially for the price.

It got the mop/broom/dust pan off the floor (and the broom doesn't fall behind the washing machine anymore... so it's doing it's job). I was hoping I could just push the handles back into the slots quickly and easily when I was done. However, I have to use two hands to open the slot and push the broom back into position. It's annoyingly slow (yes, I wanted instant). But, it's not bad, and it is doing it's job.

Seems like a nice, complete set and the case is very convenient. I thought I would use this as a travel set, but I was disappointed to see that the hooks don't have the corresponding letters on them--which means I'd have to be looking up which hook to use when a pattern refers to a letter, or when I wanted to quickly grab a certain lettered hook. I much prefer to have both mm's and letters on the handle. Additionally, although the handle grips feel fine, the edges of the rubber are sloppy in places, where it meets the metal and at the bottom end. I'd be forever pulling at the rubber to make it look neat and clean, but I suspect that would mess up the grips. Lastly, I also noticed with at least ONE hook that the grip and the hook are not aligned properly, so the hook is slight off-set to one side when you lay the hook flat on its back.

Instead of keeping it, I'll be giving it as a gift to a friend who wants to re-learn to crochet. It's inexpensive and will work for her starting out. If you can handle the issues I've mentioned above, definitely consider picking this up as a secondary or travel set. If you're looking for a primary set of hooks, I suggest you try a different, slightly higher end, set. I won't mention any brands specifically because I don't think it's appropriate to directly compare this set to more expensive ones...it's not fair considering the price point.

Decent quality nonstick, but not the top-of-the-line for All Clad. I have my doubts as to how long this will last.
I do take issue with the All Clad handle design, though. It's as if the industrial designers are stuck in their own feedback loop. The handle is OK if you have big. brawny hands, but as a fine-boned woman, I have to use a hot pad to lift the bigger pans when they are full.

So far not a great experience with this set.  Upon opening the set, I found that the 1.0mm slotted shaft was bent and the PH000 shaft was misaligned with the handle.  I was also missing the 4.0mm slotted but had two PH00 phillips drivers.  The metal on these seem much better than the sets I've owned previously.  This was sold and shipped by Amazon so hopefully I am going to receive another set soon while returning these.

Functionally, the Circulon Total set is a really nice batch of non-stick cookware, but it's a bit short on fit and finish (and function) compared to Circulon's better lines, many of which cost the same amount or not much more.  The Total set much more closely resembles the cheaper&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Circulon-Classic/dp/B005GYUN4I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Circulon Classic</a>&nbsp;cookware than the company's high-end cookware lines like Symmetry or Infinite.

Most importantly, the Total set is not dishwasher-safe.  Hand-washing is a pain, and several similar sets from Circulon and other makers sold at a similar price point are sold as dishwasher-safe (though it does accelerate their wearing out).  It's weird that it's advertised as safe for use with metal utensils, which would seem very hard on pans, but not a dishwasher.

Also, the Total set's manufacturing quality is not really commensurate with the price tag.  This feels like an entry-level cookware set like you'd get from a big-box discount store, not the kind of midrange or high-end set you'd buy from a fancy cookware retailer.  The handles are nicely functional, but very cheap-looking plastic; the lids are heavy and very tall, but the same kind of cheap stainless finish you'd get on a much cheaper set of cookware.  In addition, the set I received had many minor manufacturing problems -- nothing very bad, but a lot of small finish and coating and metal stamping flaws that mark the pans' appearance.  One pan had a lump of extra coating stuck to its outside; another had a large area of white overcoating on its cooking surface; a third one's bottom logo was doubly stamped and illegible.  Not a big deal functionally, but it looks a little shoddy right out of the box; you might not want to buy this set if you're looking for an impressive gift.

Functionally, though, this is the kind of excellent hard-anodized cookware I've come to expect from Circulon.  As seems to be Circulon's usual approach, it's a little lighter in weight and thickness than the heavier Anolon Advanced sets, so the pans warm up faster, but also don't quite heat as evenly. (There's also no separate thicker bottom to the pans here, as there is with their nicer Symmetry line.) The non-stick coating releases food and dirt very well indeed.  The 1-3 qt sauce pans are fairly shallow in proportion, and as usual with a set like this it'd really be much more useful to have a 4 qt pan than the tiny 1 qt one. The unvented, high-domed lids all fit well, though the larger of the two frying pans doesn't quite match with any of the included lids.

If you want dishwasher-safe and really nice-looking cookware, try another set instead of this.

If they happen to cost a little more when you shop (prices vary over time), it's still worth considering the upgrade.

Good looking figures overall, although the goblins I got are completely identical, not "uniquely posed" as the description states. I'm not a fan of the new trend of cookie-cutter bases which need some extra work to hold the figures. The ogre and the orc are the best of the set and have nice detail. The displacer beast is pretty shabby in that it comes in two halves which are far from made to fit together. The ball and socket joints which join the halves aren't even lined up correctly, but it's not quite a fatal flaw as it only has a couple gaps when glued together which can be fixed before painting starts. The dire rat is passable, but I'm not a fan of extra items on a monster figure, such as the treasure chest this one is on. I have no air bubbles in my set. Overall, this set is worth the money although most of the figures are fairly small and require a good amount of preparatory work before you pick up a paintbrush.

I purchased this solely for the purpose of my new daily watch, the snk803. The watch bands for this price point are absolutely amazing but they do appear slightly darker than depicted. This package also comes with a couple of spring bars and a spring bar tool. They are pretty meh, but I am not surprise since I practically got them for free. Although the added tools are nice, I would advise spending a few extra bucks for a better tool.

I bought this set for my 3hp cheapo Lowe's shop vac, but I also use it on my 5.5hp and Festool CT26. While it is not up to par with Festool cleaning kits, it is 1/3 of the price. The set seems like it will be durable, and happily, it is USA made. Buying the set on Amazon saves some significant cash over buying the pieces separate.

I did knock a star off though as I feel the set should come with a handle. Even with bigger hands (men's large glove) I find holding the hose to be a bit awkward. Although I was aware this was not included, I didn't realize it would be an issue until I was using the kit. I'll order that accessory separate I guess.

Hi., Finish is not looking so great!!
Dial and case looks good.
But overall looks okay and decide depending on the price while you purchase.

I have this set with the white handles and the oil rubbed bronze finish.  The first problem was the plumber who installed the set.  He didn't ensure the shower handle had enough room to turn all the way around when he mounted it and bored the holes in the tile.  The result is the shower off position is not all the way off because it hits the faucet, and therefore water runs slowly into the tub rather than the usual fill speed.  The posts are such that a replacement handle in matching color can't be used due the shape of the posts, which are only compatible with the shape of the Kingston handles, also not available individually for replacement.  Even universal handles aren't really compatible.  Aside from my plumber/tiler's mistakes, the quality of the product is extremely low.  It has only been a couple of months since installation and the finish is wearing off of the handles.  It is wearing off in areas that aren't even touched in normal usage.  Since mine have the porcelain handles, the bronze finish is actually behind where we normally touch to turn the water off and on.  That is where it is coming off.  Further more, the faucet itself pours out yellow brown rust colored water for a few minutes every time I turn it on.  It is as if the finish on the inside is coming off, or is it is rusting.  I would recommend a completely different set all together, maybe even a different brand.  Not to mention its pricey trying to find matching accessories for the bathroom and the finish easily wears off all of them.  The drain cover finish had worn off in less that a week and began a green Bettina much like the statue of liberty.  It looks pretty at first, but in a very short period of time, it all starts wearing and looks awful.

I only bought this particular set because it was the only one that would get to me in time before leaving for our Anniversary trip and I needed the tools to size the new watch that I bought for my husband! I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I used to work at a jewelry store (a time, long, long ago), and have sized many watches so I thought I could probably make this work. And I did, mostly. The tools in this set really aren't much different than the ones that most jewelers use (in fact, some are pretty much identical). The blue link remover tool meant to push the pin through the watch is terrible. The pins line up crookedly (and bend easily), it is super difficult to see what you are doing, and it is really only designed to be used on a watch band of one particular thickness, so all you are going to do is scratch your watch if you use this one. Instead, go for the little blue square and the mini hammer (tap gently!) and you should have no problems re-sizing your band. Pins generally only come out (and go in) one direction though, so save yourself a headache and bent pins by inspecting your band first to see which direction that might be (usually there are arrows on the links which point which direction they are meant to go out). Also, there are generally only 3-5 links around the clasp which are meant to come out, this will typically not work well if you try to remove a link near the face of the watch. And while MOST watches use pins that push out, there are a few (usually higher end) watches that use screws instead (which should also be able to be removed with this set), so look for that as well. Overall, I am fairly happy with this set, most of the tools are decent (with the exception of the blue link remover), and I was able to re-size the watch without any issues so it's already paid for itself!
