Inaccurate Measures
I loved these for all the right reasons at first. What you see is what you get and quality of craftmanship seems high. However, after using them for a couple of months I have compared the measurements to my standard glass measuring cups and found that they are off significantly. To make sure I had some Kitchen Aid measuring cups, one that has combined measurements for both dry and liquid volumes. The smallest of the three in this set ("1 cup") said I had halfway between 2/3 and 3/4 cup of water. The KitchenAid and glass measuring cups both said I had exactly 2/3 cup.

This is significant for bakers, cooks, etc. who are relying on accurate measurements in the kitchen. If you wonder why your bread isn't baking right, or your cakes aren't moist enough, and you are using these cups, double check the measurement.

Amazing Gadget!!!
These silicone measuring cups are wonderful!!! The 2Cup cup is perfect for an emulsion blender. Making salad dressing is such a breeze; I blend it in the measuring cup and squeeze the container to easily transfer to a glass bottle. The 1C cup makes it easy to add liquids to a stand mixer. I love using the 4C cup to pour cupcake and muffin batter into the pans. I can fill the cupcake pan perfectly without any drips, and it's much quicker than using a spoon or a scoop. Also great for filling a waffle maker and making uniform size pancakes. These are so convenient; I don't think I'll ever go back to using a glass measuring cup!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! FOR THE PERSON WHO COOKS OR BAKES A LOT. REALLY IS A TIME SAVER!

Interesting idea. Basic flaw.
I bought the one-cup version. It's accurate, and the non-breakable, microwavable, and heat-resist material is great. In this larger version, the soft-sides could be useful in creating a narrow pouring spout. Extra height above the 4-cup line makes it easy to mix ingredients or handle cup without spilling.

HOWEVER, if you look closely at the picture, you'll see that for each cup, some measurement points don't have printed lines. (In the one-cup measure, these are the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1-cup lines; in the larger measures, the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-cup lines.) Instead, they are simply fine ridges running around the inside of the cup. These become invisible when measuring liquids and very faint when measuring powders. How did this ever get past the design stage!? I've tried to make more noticeable marks on mine, but it's difficult to create ones that are sufficiently thin, accurately positioned, and permanent.

Also, ounces aren't marked.
