Anolon Allure 10-Piece Cookware Set
Not Dishwasher Safe - I've been running cycles through the dishwasher, with mild detergent. However, the pans have entirely lost the outside color/coating, and are now a faded grey.
Interior is Not Scratch Resistant - Do not use steel wool to wash the inside, the first time I used them the scratches were probably so minor I couldn't see them. But as time wears on the tiny scratches begin to chip into larger ones, eventually the entire layer falls off.
High quality Teflon is still Teflon. Treat it like delicate glass, hand-wash with soft sponges, and the set will probably last you a lifetime. Otherwise you'll be needing a new set in a year.
Great Pans - Kam -
I have previously owned individual pieces of Analon and a single pan from Analon Allure line. I love that pan. I picked these up for around .00 on a two day sale and I could not be happier. These pans look great, cook great and heat up evenly. Cleaning is a breeze. I also love the handles that do not get hot. Oven cooking is a snap also. By far, one of the best deals I've ever gotten.
Love these! - L. Mountford - Bellingham, WA United States
Like others here, I purchased this set for less than 0 on a gold-box special, and I've been very happy with it. I've been using the pans regularly for about 8 months now, and they show no sign of wear at all. The non-stick coating is hold up very nicely, and is super easy to clean (literally, a quick wipe with a sponge under running water will do it).
I use mostly the skillet and the two smaller saucepans, since I'm usually cooking just for myself, so those three pans get the most use. Looking at them with the other pans that barely get used at all, there's no observable difference: no scratches, no "dings," no difference in the non-stick coating, nothing. I tend to be pretty careful with them, but I wouldn't say I "pamper" them. They are, after all, pans, and they do get used.
I'm watching for more sales so I can add to my set. Very good quality and highly recommended.

Anolon Titanium 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set
That said, these are 6-7 year pans. I used the Titanium pans heavily during that time, often under high heat - only in the last couple years I would say the pan has become no more really than the other pans I have which are mediocre at best. The pots still look very good - but one tends not to use under the same heat etc. I expect the pots will be around in another 8 years, without much change, so I am pleased with the addition of a few more to allow for the bigger collection.
So, lets discuss the pans. They represent only TWO of the 10 pieces here, so, take that for what you will. Honestly, I will likely buy some additional pans as backup and to reduce the heavy load - maybe these will last longer as I have also become a better cook (i.e. don't need to cook so hot anymore). That said, they withstand a lot of abuse well, but will not hold their appearance on the exterior all that long (not buying for the cosmetics). As well, the smallest of the pans is misbalanced, and with nothing in the pan, will not sit flat - silly error in design.
The surface is fantastic however, and held up well against some high end Calphalon purchased at the same time. I appreciate the dishwasher ability (only time to time... most of the time, you should clean it yourself).
All in all, a good buy. At 6 items (does anyone really care about lids? I have some glass lids that seem to fit about everything, so I don't bother with the included lids) for 0, it comes in at a pop. Pretty decent, and frankly, for /yr based on the lifetime I expect from the most heavily used pan, I am quite happy.
A very satisfied customer! - A. N. Wong - Los Angeles, CA
I originally bought the Analon Advanced set. When I found out that it was not dishwaher safe, I immediately returned them to Macy's and researched high and low. The ones I found dishwaher safe were All Clad LTD, Anolon Titanium and Circulon Infinite. All clad was ridiculously over priced (0++) and the handle was not ergonomic friendly (to my surprise, as it should be PERFECT with that price). Circulon was pretty good but it was a tad heavy. I 'settled' with Analon Titanium and have been very satisfied. The weight was perfect, the nonstick surface was remarkable and the handles were exactly the same as Analon Advanced but Advanced was rubber, and the pots and pans (with their lids) can be inside the oven up to 500 degrees. I am amazed that I can fry an egg without oil and able to swirl the egg around and it did not stick! Cleaning was needless to say, SUPER EASY. Ironically, I did not put them in the dishwashwer yet as I am still very excited over my purchase and taking the time to handwash them everyday. :) At least I will not have to worry if somebody accidently put them in the dishwasher in the future. Only thing is, the handles can get hot if you cook over high heat for a long period of time. But then, I understand it has to be that way in order for it to widsthand 500 degree.
Fine if you get a low price - Peggy - CA United States
I purchased these after several friend seemed happy with it. I bought them for a very good price (not what I see today) and figured I'd upgrade from my Revere stainless. Frankly, I wish I'd kept my Revere cookware. The saucepans chipped on the exterior edges within months after buying the set. The way the brand is promoted, I expected better durability. I also don't find that the handles, particularly the lids, are cool enough to handle without using a towel or mitt. The dark color does hide stains which is a good thing since I can't always get drip marks off the pans.
The non-stick coating works very well. I haven't has any problems other than occasional soap spotting. Sometimes it just doesn't look clean even though I know it has been washed. I always hand wash.
These pots and pans are great if you want something easy to clean and lightweight (compared to other cookware). We cook fairly lightly so my set will probably last longer than other commenters here. I'm still a little paranoid about the whole Teflon issue so I'm slowly moving to stainless cookware when there are good sales on brands such as All-Clad.
Overall, I gave it a medium rating since they perform well and I got a really good price for the set. Had I paid more, I might lower my rating.
