Pretty colors, apparent reputation, product placement.

None that matters for food preparation.

Apparently they’re famously generous with their warranty

That’s true. I just picked up a 35 dollar “President’s Choice” (Canadian grocery store private label) 5 qt enamelled. Really curious to see how it lasts. I have low expectations, but I’m game for being pleasantly surprised.

I have this one -- in this thread because I'm looking to replace it. It's fine, does what it needs to, but found that it scratches pretty easily. Still, ours has lasted us 4 years, which isn't bad for only $35. May have lasted longer if I had a better idea of how to care for them properly when we first got it.

Mine has a small scratch already which is disappointing since I’m pretty gentle. 4 years certainly isn’t terrible for the money.

I recently changed all my kitchen set (I needed new ones anyways) into either All Clad, Staub and Le Creuset. I don’t buy sets, just individual pieces that fits my need. I want items that I can use for life.
