I loved these for all the right reasons at first. What you see is what you get and quality of craftmanship seems high. However, after using them for a couple of months I have compared the measurements to my standard glass measuring cups and found that they are off significantly. To make sure I had some Kitchen Aid measuring cups, one that has combined measurements for both dry and liquid volumes. The smallest of the three in this set ("1 cup") said I had halfway between 2/3 and 3/4 cup of water. The KitchenAid and glass measuring cups both said I had exactly 2/3 cup.
This is significant for bakers, cooks, etc. who are relying on accurate measurements in the kitchen. If you wonder why your bread isn't baking right, or your cakes aren't moist enough, and you are using these cups, double check the measurement.

I bought the one-cup version. It's accurate, and the non-breakable, microwavable, and heat-resist material is great. In this larger version, the soft-sides could be useful in creating a narrow pouring spout. Extra height above the 4-cup line makes it easy to mix ingredients or handle cup without spilling.
HOWEVER, if you look closely at the picture, you'll see that for each cup, some measurement points don't have printed lines. (In the one-cup measure, these are the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1-cup lines; in the larger measures, the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-cup lines.) Instead, they are simply fine ridges running around the inside of the cup. These become invisible when measuring liquids and very faint when measuring powders. How did this ever get past the design stage!? I've tried to make more noticeable marks on mine, but it's difficult to create ones that are sufficiently thin, accurately positioned, and permanent.
Also, ounces aren't marked.

I have owned these for several months, and I recommend them to anyone who comes into my kitchen. After reading some of these reviews I went home and compared the measures to my old Pyrex cups. My tests showed no differences. I compared them to my silicone pop out cups (don't remember the brand) and couldn't tell any difference there really. It was subtle, like the difference between leveling a measuring cup and not.
In fact that is only feature these are missing! You can't really *level* off the cup if that wasn't obvious. This is the only reason I still have my other pop out cups.
Things I love about these, a list:
* They stack inside themselves and store easily.
* Lightweight and won't break
* You can heat them up. I melt chocolate in mine all the time. Used one
* Makes pouring so easy because you can reshape it in so many ways while pouring.

Silicone grabs on to odors
These work exactly how they are supposed to and they work well. The only thing I noticed is that the silicone tends to grab on to odors even more than plastic does. Read more

Measuring cups
Their flexibility is the best when it comes to pouring because you have more control than with a rigid cup. I've purchased these for all my children as gifts.
