Care and durability

The boards are dishwasher safe, and the manufacturer describes them as non-porous, non-absorbent, odor- and stain-resistant and knife-friendly. General plastic-board guidance from an independent reviewer recommends replacing plastic boards about every two years with heavy use, because deep knife cuts can harbor bacteria. Plastic boards can also dull knives faster than wood and show marks more readily. A possible microplastic exposure concern is noted, with unclear health impact.

Is it worth it?

At $17.99 on the manufacturer’s page, the set offers three sizes and reversible surfaces at low cost, with dishwasher-safe BPA-free polypropylene. No independent test or owner data supports a durability claim, so value rests on the low price and stated features; buyers should treat the “knife-friendly” and “non-porous” claims as manufacturer statements. General plastic-board guidance suggests budgeting for replacement roughly every two years with heavy use. CherryPicks reports an average of $16.97 across 24 Farberware cutting boards, with a range of $5.04 to $54.58, last checked 2026-10-25; that is an aggregate figure, not the price of this set.
