I like the bright colors. the silicone is nice because it will not scrape up the pans .They are very good quality, so I think they will last a long time. #1 test for me was when cooking with them no food stained them. when i cooked spaghetti sauce with them ,they came out of the dishwasher like new with the same bright color. they are easy to clean ,made sold so no water dripping out later like other utensil do and very sanitary with no places for food particles to hide. i have to say i would give them #10 stars but #5 stars will have to do!  :)
