3.0 out of 5 stars Four years later and I'm still using these towels, January 17, 2007

This review is from: Pike Street 100% Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, White (Kitchen)

Update: June 2010

Note: In 2006, I gave these towels one-star; when I revised the review in 2010, I wanted to increase the rating to three stars. Apparently, there is a technical problem that is preventing me from making the change. Sorry--it should show three stars!

I bought these towels in February 2006 and almost returned them immediately. When I opened the cellophane package, the towels reeked of something that smelled like insecticide. I washed them all immediately, and after the bad smell was gone, I just loved how they felt. They reminded me of soft, fluffy, oversized hotel towels. In our household, we have used these towels almost daily, and they've received regular washing.

In my original one-year review, I was disappointed that some of the towels were showing signs of inferiority: edges had frayed on some and on others, the soft nap seemed to have disappeared.

But others pieces have remained in pretty good shape. So after over four years, I'm still getting good use from these, and except for my initial displeasure with the packaging noted above, I've been pretty satisfied.

2.0 out of 5 stars Soft but not absorbant, March 13, 2006

This review is from: Pike Street 100-Percent Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, Bluestone (Kitchen)

My wife and I really like Egyptian cotton towels. We were excited by Amazon's sale and took a chance. These towels are very soft. A huge plus! Unfortunately they lack absorbency qualities. The towel feels cold as we dry off and the water does not feel like it is being absorbed. Wet and cold is not a good feeling in the morning! We do not use dryer sheets or any type of detergent product that would coat the towels. As for pricing, we did NOT get a super saver discount as promised in Amazon's advertising but were attracted to the initial sale price. All in all, we will not buy this towel again.

This review is from: Pike Street 100-Percent Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, Pale Green (Kitchen)

These are beautiful, soft towels at a great price. Unfortunately, they lost color in splotches immediately after being used a few times. I washed the towels in warm water with Cheer detergent, and the pale green color had a tinge of orange in places. I have never had this problem with other towels. I was planning to use these as special towels for the guest bathroom, but now they will "hide" in our bathroom, since they are still wonderfully absorbent and nice to touch, but they look awful. I was quite disappointed, but at least they were cheap!
