This is an inexpensive quality knife set!
Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design, Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
I have been a Chef for 17 yrs. and from experience know you don't get quality in an inexpensive knife set. This AmazonBasics Premium set really impressed me. The knives I use and have at home are mixed matched because I like good hefty knives. My wife always rags on me that the knives look crappy, so I got on here and started reading reviews. I was not gonna spend alot of money on a set knowing that I have good knives already. Then I saw this set, and looked at the video. I got them in TWO days, and when I opened the package I was expecting the block to be split, chipped, or have saw marks. As you can see the one I got was flawless. I then took out the chefs knife and smiled. Easily comparable to a 8" Zwilling JA Henckels Pro Traditional Chefs Knife. It has the same quality, heft, and balance. TRUST ME I KNOW!!!! Beautiful knife. The thickness of the blade is equal to my Victorinox Fibrox Chefs Knife and I paid $45. for that knife alone!!! This here is a quality product at a good price. Treat them with respect and they will last for YEARS. If your looking for a good complete set, a nice wedding gift, of just looking to replace the "crappy" set you have look no further.

Amazing for the price
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
At a higher price they would have been 4 or 3 stars, but for $50 this is an insane deal. The steel is pretty good quality. It almost seems like it's hardened VG-10 but I think they would advertise that if it were so I'm guessing it's a cheaper stainless steel that just comes harder without being treated though I'm just speculating based on price. Anyways they're flat ground, take an edge easily, and hold it reasonably well. Nicer knives would certainly hold an edge longer but I'm pretty happy with them. The flat ground shape of the blade is actually ever so slightly convex as well, it's not too apparent in use but you can certainly see it in the reflection. The serration on the bread knife is the inverse of what I would prefer, rounded metal with points cut into it vs points extending from the blade with the rounded parts cut out. When the rounded parts are cut out it's easy to sharpen. When the points are cut out it's almost impossible to sharpen. The handles are the downfall of the knives. They're not smoothly finished and while they look alright they feel like a cheaply cut (although very solid) piece of plastic which is exactly what they are. A little bit better finishing on the handles would really improve the knives. The holding block serves it's purpose well. The sharpener is ok but below average, though the rough steel rod sharpeners just aren't great to begin with. Diamond coated rods are much better, though ceramic rod sharpeners are the best. Overall I love the knives and I'm glad I bought them. For the price they're the best deal I've ever found, no question. I love that there is no logo on them, but I just don't like to see branding in general even if it's a premium brand. If you're buying this for the bread knife or the sharpener, don't, they're not good. If you want the look and feel of a $300+ knife set, don't buy this, you'll be disappointed. If you want a good quality knife set but aren't willing to spend $300+ then absolutely buy these, they're great.

Best steamer on market hands down
Size: Standard, Size: Standard
If you want to really deep clean your home then this will be your best friend. Comes with several different attachments which is great. It’s light weight so not heavy to carry around. So easy to put together or change attachments. They give you a measuring cup for the exact amount of water you need with a funnel so no mess putting water in. Heats up super fast which is awesome. Like i said light weight but strong steamer. The first thing i used it on was my oven which is 8 or 9 years old. From cooking especially holidays there was grease etc on it. I used the oven cleaners that say removes grease with one wipe Nope it those products actually ruined top of my stove made it dull and even other parts almost a rust look which I am not happy with. Wish I knew about this amazing machine before I ever used the store bought oven cleaner. Like I said it comes with several attachments ones for steaming your floors amazing. An attachment for grout also did an amazing job I was shocked my shower looks brand new my floors look brand new also. Another attachment is for steaming shower doors, walls, furniture and clothes works awesome. Another attachment for hard to reach places super amazing. Oh and the handle can come apart so you can make it long for when your steaming floors then make it smaller to carry around to do all the other steaming you want to do. Best part is that it didn’t break the bank the price was well worth it. I first saw this steamer on TickToc like with other items I have bought. But my go to place to see if these items are on Amazon cause Amazon is my go to place to shop, also the prices are always cheaper and you can get it in 2 days or other things I bought within hours. Where tik tok it takes weeks to get and always more expensive. So thank you Amazon for being an amazing company. If i could give more stars for this steamer I would give it a 20 star that’s how great it works. One thing I forgot to do was take a picture of my stove before but I did after. You can see where those store products ruined areas I mentioned. That was not caused by this amazing product.

Great all-in-one steam cleaner
Size: Standard
The Schenley 19-in-1 Steam Mop is super versatile and easy to use. It heats up quickly and the steam is strong enough to clean floors, grout, and bathroom surfaces without any chemicals. I love how easily it switches to a handheld steamer—feels like multiple tools in one. The build is sturdy and it maneuvers well. Overall it’s a great value and works really well.
