I have been baking two loaves of bread per week with my 5X10 pans for about a year and they show absolutely no signs of wear. I just bought a new oven that will accomodate four pans so I am buying additional pans.
The pans are heavily constructed. The non-stick surfaces are very high quality. It is advised to lightly oil the interior surfaces before baking. The bread comes out perfect every time. What more can you ask?

I've owned a lot of non-stick cookware/bakeware over the years, including Chicago Metallic (which I still own and love).
When it came time to replace my bread pans I couldn't find what I wanted in Chicago Metallic. When I happened upon the Calphalon, and discovered the very same warranty, I decided to take the plunge. I bought two from a local store.
I bake quite a bit of bread and the pans get fairly heavy use. I rate them right up there with Chicago Metallic and consider them to be one of the best purchases I've ever made.
That said, I don't use metal utensils on them, I wash them by hand (which is relatively simple and quick), and dry them by hand, or sometimes in a warm oven for a few minutes. Not a difficult or time consuming job to maintain the quality of the pan.
The price may make people really have to consider (it did me), but with the fantastic warranty there isn't much to lose.

Perfect pan for meat loaf,

OK - I'm probably not using this pan the way most do, but several years ago I decided to buy a pan strictly for meat loaf and this is the one I picked. I don't really like the pans that have the draining piece in them - I use a combination of 90% lean beef and turkey, so there isn't much fat that would need to be drained off.
This pan has held up beautifully and still looks new after probably 6-7 years of regular use. A quick soak and it cleans up like a dream. It is also large enough to hold a mixture containing about 2.5 lbs of meat plus the other ingredients I add. I just wish they made an even bigger version of this pan - meat loaf doesn't last very long around this house!
