"Great Measuring Cup, Great Value!"
*****
I love these measuring cups because I can see exactly how much I'm putting into them from above instead of peering and squinting at the measuring lines from the side. They are priced well, and very useful. They come in all sizes, from mini-size (1/4 cup) all the way up to 4 cups, and come in sets as well. They are made of a sturdy type of hard plastic. The measuring cups are dishwasher safe, but should not be used in the microwave.

I haven't had any problems with them. My husband recently began to use one of them for measuring his boiling water for oatmeal in one, and so far it has held up great. However, I like them so much, that I'm worried that the markings on the inside may wear off in time, so I'm getting him a special glass one of his own. I would therefore recommend them ideally for dry ingredients or for cool wet ingredients.

They are handy, easy to store (I can stack mine by staggering the handles) and easy to clean. The handles are made of rubber for easy gripping, very nice. I still have some of my old traditional measuring cups but I only use these.

"Great Measuring Cup"
These measuring cups are great. I had one that I wore out & couldn't find them again. When I found these I ordered two. Much easier to measure looking into the cup rather than on the side

"Good concept, funny shape, hard to read"
I usually love anything that the OXO good grips people make. I do not like this measuring cup. It is hard to read when you look down into the cup and try to figure out how much is in it--especially if you are measuring water or clear liquids. I still find myself holding up the cup and reading it from the side the "old" way. In fact I'm planning on replacing it with a regular type measure and gettting rid of it. It also does not "stack" into my other measuring cups, so it is not a space saver.
Also the shape is strange-- it is hard to get all the ingredients out of it, even when you use a small spatula. So what good is the supposed better accuracy if you leave too much in the cup-- then the amount of ingredients is not correct anyway.

"Ingenious! Makes you wonder why it wasn't invented sooner!"
I own both the 1-cup and 2-cup and recommend you buy both for measuring liquids. If you don't want to buy both, just buy the 2-cup, as it's more versatile. I have other measuring cups, but these are the ones I reach for over and over. Very convenient - no bending - I love it! Ingenious! My only criticism - and it's very minor - is that the design of the handle makes it wobble slightly rather than sitting firmly on a flat surface. If they correct this minor design flaw, it would get five stars.

"What a cool gadget!!!!"
This is the most handy measuring cup ever. I have several different kinds and this is the best. I just wonder why no one thought of it sooner. No more bending down at eye level to see if your a the correct measurement. I liked mine so much, I bought 3 more as gifts!! You can't go wrong with this. Oxo makes the best kitchen products.
