Rating  - Exactly what I wanted
I have not had these Pyrex Prepware measuring cups long but they (I bought 3) are perfect for what I ordered them for. I am single and I make alot of soup dinners for myself and I hate the SALTY commercial dried/canned soups or beans. 3 cups of fresh soup seems to be a good evening meal for me and a 4 cup measuring/cooking/eating bowl is the perfect size to prepare/cook/eat it (did I mention that I'm a lazy old rascal?). Low sodium/low fat broth in boxes makes an excellent base (which I usually modify with seasalt to about 25-30% the salt commercial soups provide) with fresh or frozen veggies, fresh sliced meat or a small frozen bag of some meat prepared periodically by me for the freezer with my Foodsaver vacuum sealer when good grades and cuts of meat are cheap (chicken or shrimp is excellent but I find brisket is ideal and some places will slice it for you if you buy a moderately large piece), some spices, some pasta or Asian varieties of noodles, 20 minutes plus or minus in the MWave and an appetite, and you got a great fresh dish that cleans up in an eyeblink. I don't cook much anymore but trust me, I don't like junk food and some of these quick efforts taste as good as what you get in most restaurants.
Some have complained about breakage and the uncomfortable handles but though I suspect that they are indeed, NOT bulletproof, I find that they do bounce admirably and I don't have any issue with the handles since the whole point of my cooking style is to reduce handling. If I was baking, perhaps I would feel different but there are lots of lighter, reasonably safe plastic cups that work great for dry ingredients. The inert qualities of the Pyrex glass preclude vile compounds from heating in the MWave. Apres dining, some 30 seconds of hot water and soap bring you back to square one with a clean dish and spoon. Ain't minimalism great?
BTW- these cups will also cook oatmeal or grits very well too and if you use the versions from old time cartons or sacks instead of the little envelopes full of Soylent Green, those starches will taste better, cook almost as quickly AND be good for you too (but watch how much cheese you put in the grits).
Also, they are somewhat lower and broader than your typical measuring making them more dining friendly.
Rating - Gotta have this in the kitchen!
I could not live without my Pyrex glass measuring cups. I use them for everything, but sometimes the 2-cup ones just don't hold enough and that's when I go to this size.
These are so useful around the holidays when you find yourself doubling-up on recipes and as always, the quality you've come to expect from Pyrex will not disappoint.
Rating  - We bought four: all four had chips or cracks
We bought four of these measuring cups and are really disappointed that all four had chips or cracks. In the past, we have always loved Pyrex cups, but the ones we bought from Amazon all have defects: a crack in the middle or small, dark chips at the base. So we can use them, but cannot give them as gifts.
