So the Everyday Essentials brand does what exactlhy.
Crum rubber all over the floor? Dust? Inaccurate? They break?
What's the deal.
For less than $1 lb, what is falling short of expectations?
I saw a bunch of little gripes across a bunch of reviews -
1) The plates are thick. Well all crumb rubber plates are thick. 3" - 3.75" on the heaviest plates is fine, and expected
2) Rubber smell. Well all cheap bumpers have rubber smell for a few days.
3) They weren't Eleiko accurate. A lot of guys were complaining that they were +/- 2% accuracy. I consider that fine for cheap bumpers.
-------------------------
4) They thought the hub might be weak. I'll give them this. The hub is an unknown. It could be fine, especially if it's the staked type or it could be weak if it's the old style from 20-30 years ago.
5) Some guys complain that the 10lb bumpers bend and break, and the 15's show a little bend, but not huge. Again, I haven't seen 10's survive prolonged use for any brand, except the crazy expensive Eleiko technique plates. So I don't hold that against them, 10lb bumpers are consumables in normal usage.
I think a lot of the gripes are guys that want a $1/lb bumper to behave like a $4-7/lb one.
