They're a scam. He's just doing it for the money. Culinary experts who aren't paid by or partnered with the company consistently report that it's not great.
The bottom line is that each little hex pocket has its own nonstick coating. This gives it far more possible points of failure. Once the coating starts to flake off in even one spot, it should no longer be used at all, because the coating is carcinogenic if you ingest it. Since people already don't take care of nonstick well, using metal utensils on it, overheating it, etc, the Hexclad pans are just a really expensive nonstick pan that is if anything even more likely to fail. Sure, they feel substantial and well built, but poor design choices completely undermines that.
Also: these pans are not really an alternative to Hexclad IMO. These are, for lack of a better word, "stick" pans, intentionally. The little browned bits that stick to the bottom can form the basis of a delicious pan sauce. For most dishes, they work really well. It's also very safe to scrub them aggressively with abrasives if you need to, and it's safe to use acidic ingredients (which can harm the seasoning in cast iron pans). I personally have one of these, and also keep around a couple cast iron and carbon steel pans, and also have one regular inexpensive 8" nonstick pan I use specifically for eggs.

The products are sold with a limited warranty, which is detailed on a separate webpage (not included in the summary).Totally missed the D3 in the photo thank you for pointing that out. Is there a price history somewhere so I know if it was available for cheaper? Looking at a few others too

As you add more layers, you add more weight and as a result, you have more heat retention. So it will act "more like" cast iron in that regard. After you sear a steak on one side, it'll sear better on the other side when you flip it because the pan will have a bigger "reservoir" of heat still there. The lighter D3 won't have as much heat (as it was absorbed by the 1st side of the steak) as the heavier D5. So yes, the D5 "should" give you a better sear on the other side of the steak.
The downside of the D5 are going to be extra cost, extra weight and longer wait for warmup.
The "generic" ones will be cheaper, of course, but you know where they're made.
Also this is 2023, we have computers and electronic inventory systems. I don't really care what they say, its a lazy excuse, regardless of if they "warn" you or not, 2 weeks just to put something in the mail is unacceptable.
Thanks.
You're better off getting these stainless All-Clads for a good price and supplementing them with a couple Ninja or Oxo non-sticks (or go cheaper with a T-Fal or something like that). Total price for all those pieces will be less than Hexclad.
Hexclad is just the "cool" gimmick that works alright. It's not complete garbage, but you'll just get better results using real stainless steel or real non-stick (for whichever one is best suited for the job) than paying more for something that doesn't work as well as either. This "hybrid cookware" concept in practice just isn't that great.

Alas I was newish to cooking and didn't realize all the oils needed to cook with these.
Vegetable oils (and some aren't "vegetable" at all but seeds that need processing vs pressing) are being found related to a lot of ailments like macular degeneration.
I hate how heavy cast iron is but thats where I went
Macular degeneration is heavily influenced by genetics. You have lots of oils to choose from my friend.
