I don't have Saladmaster but I do have a set similar which is called Truly Magic. I too was debating whether or not spend the money on saladmaster. I went to a demonstration and fell in love with the pieces but didn't think $2,000 was a reasonable price. I left the demo determined to get some good quality waterless cookware. When I got home I googled "Stainless Steel Cookware" and found a site called justsmartliving.com I browsed and e-mailed a few question (which by the way they responded within the hour) and decided to get the 23 piece set. They offer a 7 day money back guarantee so I figured I had nothing to lose. I got the set about 4 days after I ordered and absolutely love it! The quality is just as good if not better than saladmaster and the price is amazing I paid $269 for the entire set (which included free shipping) I honestly believe I got the deal of the century. If you are looking for a top of the line set of stainless steel waterless cookware buy it from justsmartliving.com
