I purchased this set based on another hard anodized pan I had purchased years ago and was pleased with and needless to say I am very pleased with this purchase. The set is well balanced in that it offers the average size pans and pots up to the larger chief style pans and pots.  The handles are sufficiently long for gripping with both hands and the pans with the extra hand piece on them also assist in handling the pans.  This set offers versatility for a family with 4 or more but can also be used by one.  I do a lot of canning and have used the largest stock pot and it is wonderful for jellies, relishes and spaghetti sauces.  The largest saute pan is also great for preserving items that need their own space in the pan in  single layer.
Overall I give this set a 5 star for the quality and performance.  Very pleased!!
