Upon highly recommended from Robins Kitchen I purchased 2 sets of this dinner wear only to find in a short time a dinner plate suddenly cracked so took it back and got a replacement. Now taken another dinner plate back and because it was just out of the 12 months warranty the lady at Robins Kitchen has take a photo to send to the company, but she… Read more

doubts anything will be done with it. She also said if I put it in the dishwasher this could be the reason. For goodness sake! It states its dishwasher proof. I also took in 2 bowls that have discoloured with a grey mottled on the bottom of the bowls which look awful as you couldn't serve them up to guests looking like that. We had also bought the Alex Liddy Cutlery set months back , and the cutlery was coming out of the dishwasher with rust stains , you could actually wipe off with a towel. The cutlery looked terrible , so took that back to Robins Kitchen, she again said we should hand wash and not put in the dishwasher. What's the point of buying suitable for dishwashers and then Alex Liddy saying yes its dishwasher proof but WASH by hand, The lady at Robins Kitchen agreed with me with the shocking state of the cutlery set that she gave us our money back. We went and bought a Wilshire cutlery set from another shop and guess what? The cutlery comes out of the dishwasher like new, its beautiful. Don't buy anything of Alex Liddy , total waste of money.

AVOID THIS PRDUCT - IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY! As other reviews have noted, this product is TERRIBLE - the worst dinner set we have ever had! They look great new, but the surface gloss disappears very quickly, turning to a matt grey mess. Looks like the dishes are still dirty! I took a plate back to the shop of purchase and was told I shouldn't use a knife to cut on the plate! Very disappointed.

Alex Liddy fine bone china dinner set – I bought an Alex Liddy fine bone china set 20 years ago. I still do not have any chips. It’s amazing quality and I highly recommend it. I have used it every day as our kitchen set.

Alex Liddy 18cm cereal bowl Aquis – These bowls Are great to use. Nice shape, not too big or small. Had them for a while now And Had to order more as the kids prefer to Eat out of these bowls. Show details

Aquis not what I thought – i have bought Alex Liddy dinner sets in multiples as I have tourist cottages x 5 plus we use them in our own home. The most recent was the Aquis and im disappointed in that it says dishwasher safe but in fact the dinner plates have lost their sheen. I only use dishwasher tablets. i realise its nearly two years old, but the previous sets have… Read more

lasted a lot longer than that. We get breakages which is par for the course but I always endeavour to replace with a similar product.

Alex Liddy Aquis if I could give minus stars I would – Alex Liddy Aquis, same as other reports. Loss of gloss to the point where a sandwich sticks to the plate as there is no seal. They are not dishwasher or microwave safe, they crack and become burning hot. Will not purchase again. Going back to Maxwell and Williams for my next purchase. Show details

Terrible – Do not buy! The dinner set looses its sheen after only a few washes, leaving a gritty, nails on chalkboard feeling. As well as feeling unpleasant, the degraded finish leaves this dinner set easily stained. I wish I had read the reviews here first. After only a couple of months, it’s in the bin. Buyer beware. Show details

Great Design shape but Poor Quality China – I’ve had House’s home brand of Alex Liddy AQUIS dinnerware a while ago because I loved the design. The bone china is of poor quality as pretty much within a month or so, tiny dots and discolouration on the surface and underside, showed up. There is a very fine gritty residue left on the plates and bowls but not on the other dinnerware from other… Read more

brands or glassware that are washed in the same load.

I initially thought it was my dishwasher, then tablets etc. I have a new dishwasher and the dishes still look the same. It’s not due to an overloaded dishwasher as it happens even when there is a light load.

I’m really unhappy as I bought 10 settings. I would not recommend the range at all.

Poor quality product – I bought 2 sets originally then threw out the worst plates and bought another set of the same. All this time have thought it was the dishwasher tablets and changed back to powder but plates are still losing their coating. What a waste of money. Will never buy again Show details

Very disappointing – I bought this thinking I got a very good deal thinking the material is bone china for the price. But after few wash like 2-3 wash the plate became too dry.. the coating is total gone. Each time I get it from the dishwasher, I get that very irritating feeling like when you accidentally scratch the blackboard with your nails. Waste of money. Show details

Where is the shine gone? – Purchased two sets in Echuca as replacement day to day use replacement. Didn’t take long for the shine to disappear and the surface to become abrasive. Very disappointed, waste of money, they are rubbish. Show details

pepper grinder didn't work – I returned a pepper grinder to house that didn't work and the helpful worker suggested that I probably broke it. She replaced it. I am now waiting for the replacement to fail. Show details

Horrible – A coating wore off the plates very quickly. The now have a horrible texture not unlike finger nails going down a blackboard. Emptying the dishwasher is an awful experience. Horrible product and waste of money!!! Show details

Waste of money – I haven’t had the Alex Liddy dinner set long and the shine has gone. The food sticks to the plate and the bowls stick together. The plates squeak when you cut on them. Have to throw them out! Show details

Waste of money – Had the dinner set for a week and noticed scratches on plates. Don’t go near this product if you want it to last the distance. Alex Liddy SHARE dinner set. Unfortunately I bought 2 sets Show details

Didn't last the distance – We have replaced our Alex Liddy Aquis plates after six years of use with a cheaper major chainstore variety. We were hoping that the Alex Liddy set would be in use for many years however we became tired of serving meals on chipped plates. (The chipping occurred quite early in their use.) We are disappointed in this product. Show details

Waste of money – This dinner set is not worth the money. The dishes always still have food residue on them after being washed in the dishwasher. After reading the other reviews I think this is because they loose their coating. Total waste to money.

A huge disappointment and waste of money – Same as all the over reviews. I purchase 2 dinner sets in 2020 use them everyday and wash them in the dishwasher. They have all lost their shine, are sticking together and make a scratching noise when you cut on them. Very very disappointing and a huge waste of money.

Waste of good money and poor quality – My outcome unfortunately is very similar to others here - I invested in 2 x sets to create a set of 12 overall from Robins Kitchen Cairns in July 2020, and they have all lost their shine through the dishwasher, stick to each other and feel "gritty" due to having a matt look (not what you expect of bone china!) - says dishwasher safe - worst investment of $240 I ever made!!! Show details

Waste of money – I bought Alex Libby plates and cutlery, the plates have all lost their glaze and shine and stick to each other and the cutlery has rust spots everywhere. Now that the glaze is gone, food sticks to the plates and they have become hard to wash. Very bad quality.

Broke day of purchase – We purchased a pepper cracker which fell apart upon opening the product before use. Absolutely awful... I’ve never seen a product that falls apart before using it!! Steer clear of this brand. Rubbish.  Show details

Dinner set – I am going to ask for a refund. This product looses its shine and then stick to one another and the surface feels really bad. They are no cheap so dont bother buying this product Show details

never buy it again – as others wrote, the tableware looses its shine once in the dishwasher. Because the bowls loose their shine, they stick together annd I hardly can seperate them. The cups show a crack inside where the handle is connected. Worst Chinaware I ever bought. Show details

Absolute waste of money – Purchased a box set of "modern white" from Robins Kitchen. Clearly indicates microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. This is not correct! 2 of the 4 plates have now broken. 1 snapped clear in half on being taken out of the microwave with hot food on it. The other one cracked with hot food on it. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this brand at all. Show details

Alex Liddy Aquis. So disappointed – The dinner set says fine china and dishwasher safe. I use good quality dishwasher tablets but the China has lost its shine and has in parts gone rough. I have had this dinner set for about 6 months and would have thought that may happen after years of use. Show details

Look great ... if you like cracks in the what the maker calls 'finest quality bone china' – We needed bowls specifically for pasta and House sold us six such bowls in the Alex Liddy 'Aquis' range. They looked great. We treat our crockery with care, but already we have had to throw out three of our six-piece set due to cracking. We were placing them in our Miele oven at 60C for warming before use -- perhaps this is the problem, although we have never had any problem over the years when we have heated Wedgwood china this way. Show details
