Yes, not bad at all; it works perfectly. It came with a replaceable head, a pair of gloves, and a charging cable (USB-C). The spinner has 3 modes (fast, medium, slow), though the fast mode isn't exactly very fast, and the rotor doesn't handle a lot of power—although it is definitely sufficient for cleaning the grill. Overall, it's good (for the price).
Dana R.
It cuts really well; you just need to secure it somewhere because it's lightweight.
James K.
It's adorable! It arrived well-packaged. In some listings, it appeared rectangular, but this one is exactly what I wanted—square. It has plastic feet, so it works really well as a serving board, too :)

We haven't tried it yet, but it seems good.

Honestly, I haven't tried them out yet because I'm waiting for the burger separator sheets, but overall I am very satisfied—excellent product.

“These are gorgeous and SO much better quality than I expected for the price. They feel substantial, not flimsy like other wood utensils I've tried. The included rack is a nice touch too.”

“I was skeptical about spending $68 on kitchen spoons, honestly. But after 3 months of daily cooking they still look brand new. Worth it. My cast iron thanks me too.”

“Beautiful set, only wish it came with a bigger spoon. Reached out to support and they said a serving spoon add-on is launching soon. Quality is excellent otherwise.”

“Honestly wasn't expecting much for the price but these are solid. Use them every weekend on the grill now, holding up great so far.”

“Got these for my husband's birthday and he won't stop using them lol. Only reason it's not 5 stars is one of the spoons has a slightly rough edge, but nothing major.”

“My mom always said good tools last a lifetime and she was right. No complaints here, just a solid set that does what it says.”
