COMPLETELY WRONG!

BUYER BEWARE. The measuring cup I received is completely inaccurate! After I was done with the uncooked rice and pancake batter, I realized the problem was in the measuring cup. To test this I poured 1 cup of water into the measuring cup and as I suspected the cup measured about 2/3 of a cup. Every time I measured a cup from there, I got at least 1/3 cup of extra liquid. It looks like some people will get the exact trophies, but it's a draw and I'm very unlucky. RIP to my wasted rice andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Protection

Inaccurate - don't waste your $$$

I bought this to add chemicals to my pool. I noticed that the amount of liquid in the cup seemed to be more than advertised, so I compared it to reliable measuring sets I use in my kitchen for cooking/baking. This measuring cup WAY does not fit. The real 1 cup is way below the 1 cup line marked on that crappy measuring cup. I would NOT recommend buying. Although it wasn't expensive, it doesn't even cost 0.01. That goes with the whole "you had a job" thing. A measuring cup with inaccurateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Out of style

OK. Here's the deal

It doesn't work like a measuring cup. It is very convenient for soap making. And therefore. I bought them for soap making. I knew the test leads would likely come loose. At the same time, I find it very difficult to believe that the company knowingly sells a defective product. Soap or aromatic oils on the outside will not loosen the lines. Not that I need them. I have a scale, I only use it to split a batch to color and I can weigh it if needed. But if you need it for a measuring cup, don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Doesn't seem accurate

Plastic measuring cup is easy to read, easy to clean and durable; but for most I don't think it matters if it's not exact, and I don't think it's mine. When I started using it I noticed that I felt like I was getting more liquid out of the measuring cup than usual and after reading some of the recent reviews I was a little worried so I did my own testing and agreed with others that this measuring cup doesn't seem to be accurate. I filled three other measuring cups with 1 cup of water and poured

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

I drink coffee from a huge mug, but I prefer to heat the water and pour it out than to heat the water in the mug. It took me forever to find a meter that could hold 20 ounces of water and still fit in the microwave without getting so hot I couldn't touch it. (Glass measuring cups get very hot when water is boiled in them.) It works. It's large enough to easily fit in the microwave, withstands hot water, and won't melt or burn your hand. Yay The only downside is that it sags a little when coming

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Intermittent quality control? mine is accurate

I bought this without noticing a warning in the review about the wrong marking for the measurement. This review dates back to 2012, so it seems the company either fixed the issue or just released a low-quality batch at the time. I repeated the "test" below: 1. Fill to 700ml2. Pour the liquid into another container until the measuring cup shows 500ml3 left. Empty the measuring cup 4. Pour the remaining 200ml back into another container and see what the measuring cup says. Guess what? Shows 200โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
