The deciding specification is the published package height, because on a nesting set it is the only figure anybody publishes that describes a stack rather than a single bowl.
By the Lush Editorial Team·Researched & Compared
I compared the package figures published for each set against the bowl dimensions published in the maker's own words, the capacities in each set, the nesting claims, weights, lids and washing rules across five stainless steel mixing bowl sets and one single bowl, using only each listing's own text.
An eighteen piece set of seven bowls at 4.5, 3.6, 2.7, 2.1, 1.7, 1.1 and 0.7 quarts with airtight lids and a silicone bottom on every bowl, shipping in a carton published at 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in, and the only listing here that names a refrigerator shelf.
Three thicker gauge bowls at 1.5, 2.2 and 3.4 quarts with a wide rolled rim, stated to nest inside each other and take up 50 percent less cabinet space, at 1.5 lb, shipping in a carton published at 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in.
A ten piece set of five bowls with matching lids, stated to nest inside one another to save cabinet space or stack on top of each other in a fridge, shipping in a carton published at 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in, with no capacity published for any bowl.
Two polished 8 quart bowls with a flat top rim, published by the maker at 13 1/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches high, shipping in a carton published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 4.25 in, which is shallower than the bullet says one bowl stands.
A single brushed 8 quart bowl published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in and 0.88 lb, the lightest figure on this page, stated dishwasher safe, with nothing to nest into and nothing published about storing it.

A single brushed 8 quart bowl published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in and 0.88 lb, the lightest figure on this page, stated dishwasher safe, with nothing to nest into and nothing published about storing it.
CHAREADA ships seven bowls in a carton published at 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in. Gronivex ships three in one published at 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in and states they take up 50 percent less cabinet space. WHYSKO publishes 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in and no capacities at all. Great Credentials publishes a 4.25 in carton for two bowls its own bullet calls 5 inches tall, and Chef Craft is one bowl at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in.
“A carton of two bowls is shallower than one bowl.”

On published package figures, CHAREADA: seven bowls and seven lids in a carton published at 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in. Gronivex publishes 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in for three bowls and WHYSKO 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in for five. Those are cartons rather than stacks, so treat them as a ceiling on the nested height rather than a measurement of it.
Because on a multipack there is nothing else. Every set here has its dimension fields moved to a package figure, because the fields describe the box the set ships in and not one bowl. A carton is packed around bowls that are already nested, so it is the only published figure shaped like the thing a cabinet has to hold.
Great Credentials is the clearest case on the page. Its dimensions bullet states a diameter of 13 1/4 inches, a height of 5 inches and a volume of 8 quarts, and its published carton is 13.25 x 13.25 x 4.25 in for two of them. Two bowls 5 inches tall cannot go in a 4.25 in box unless they are nested, and the listing never uses the word.
WHYSKO. It states a ten piece set in one bullet and a five piece nesting set in another, supplies a lid for every bowl, and publishes no capacity anywhere: its size attribute reads Multiple Sizes. It does publish the two storage claims this page cares about, nesting inside one another in a cabinet and stacking on top of each other in a fridge, and a carton of 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in.
It is an honest one. Chef Craft publishes 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in and 0.88 lb, so you know exactly what you are putting away and it is 5 inches tall with nothing inside it. A nesting set of the same capacity is shorter only because the smaller bowls live inside the big one. If you only ever need one bowl, the stack saves nothing.
None of the three sets with lids says yes. CHAREADA states the bowls are dishwasher safe and asks you to hand wash the lids to limit their exposure to heat. WHYSKO states the same split. Gronivex has no lids and states top rack or hand wash for the bowls. Chef Craft and Great Credentials publish nothing about lids at all, and Chef Craft states the bowl is dishwasher safe.

Four of these five are sets, and on a set every published dimension describes the carton rather than a bowl. Those cartons read 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in for seven bowls, 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in for three, 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in for five and 13.25 x 13.25 x 4.25 in for two. The fifth pick is one bowl, published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in.
Read that list twice and the shape of the page appears. A carton holding seven bowls is shallower than a single 8 quart bowl is tall, and a carton holding two 8 quart bowls is shallower than the bullet says one of them stands. Nesting is the whole story, and no maker here publishes a figure for the nested stack itself.

What the table cannot settle is the figure the page exists for. A carton is not a stack: it has walls, padding and air. It bounds the stack from above and nothing more, which is why every package figure here is labeled as the package and why the nesting row is words rather than numbers.
Every multipack in this pool has its dimension fields reassigned to a package figure, because the fields describe the box. That is not a flaw in the listings so much as a fact about them: there is no single object to measure. A three bowl set has three diameters and three heights, and the field can hold one number.
So four of these five publish a carton and one publishes a bowl. Chef Craft is the single bowl, at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in and 0.88 lb, and it is the only figure on this page that describes a thing you will hold. Every other number describes something the bowls arrived in, which is a different object with a useful relationship to the one you are storing.
Great Credentials makes the relationship explicit without meaning to. Its dimensions bullet states a diameter of 13 1/4 inches, a height of 5 inches and a volume of 8 quarts, and it states the price covers two bowls. Its published carton is 13.25 x 13.25 x 4.25 in. Two bowls of 5 inches cannot fit in a box of 4.25 in on end or side by side.
The only arrangement that works is one bowl inside the other, and the listing never says the bowls nest. It is the clearest piece of evidence on the page that a carton figure on a bowl set is a nested figure, and it is worth more than the nesting sentences on the other listings because it is a number rather than a claim.
Gronivex states that all three bowls nest neatly inside each other, taking up 50 percent less cabinet space, and names the kitchens it has in mind: apartments, tiny homes, RVs and campers. Its carton is published at 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in for bowls of 1.5, 2.2 and 3.4 quarts, and the set is published at 1.5 lb, which is plausible for three thicker gauge bowls.
What it leaves out is any figure for a bowl. No diameter, no height, no rim measurement, only a wide rolled rim described in words and a brushed interior stated to stop food sticking. A reader with a 4 inch shelf gap is left with the carton figure and a percentage, and the percentage has no baseline attached to it.
WHYSKO states two arrangements rather than one: the bowls stack inside one another to save cabinet space, or stack on top of each other in a fridge to maximize storage. That second claim is the more useful of the two for anyone whose cupboards are full, and it is the only place on this page where stacking upward is described as a supported use.
Against that, it publishes less than any other pick. Its size attribute reads Multiple Sizes, no bullet gives a capacity, one bullet calls it a ten piece set and another calls it a five piece nesting set, and there is no weight anywhere. What it does publish is a carton of 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in, a lid for every bowl, and a hand wash rule for the lids.
One three piece nesting set in this pool publishes a carton of 10.5 inches on all three axes, and states that the nesting design saves space and keeps cabinets organized. Three identical figures is what a listing publishes when nobody measured it, and a 10.5 in cube is not the box a set of 1.5, 3 and 5 quart bowls ships in. It is left out of the five for that reason.
Two more sets publish cartons with one axis that cannot be real: one reads 0.2 in on its first figure beside 9.45 and 5.51, and another gives 4.72 x 4.72 x 10.2 in for a nine piece set. This page reports those and ranks on none of them, which is the same rule applied to the Great Credentials weight of 1.17 lb for two 8 quart bowls.
CHAREADA is the pick that answers the question most directly. Eighteen pieces, seven bowls at 4.5, 3.6, 2.7, 2.1, 1.7, 1.1 and 0.7 quarts, a lid for each, a silicone bottom on each to stop it sliding while you mix, and a carton published at 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in. That is more bowls in a shallower box than anything else here.
It is also the only listing on this page to name the furniture it is meant to fit: the bowls are stated to fit a standard size refrigerator shelf, cabinets and pantry. No figure backs that up, and no bowl in the set is measured individually, so the carton and the capacity list are all a buyer has. On this pool that is still more than most listings give.
The shallowest shelf with the most bowls. CHAREADA, seven bowls from 0.7 to 4.5 quarts with airtight lids and silicone bottoms, in a carton published at 7.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 in, stated to fit a standard refrigerator shelf as well as a cabinet.
Three bowls and a stated saving. Gronivex, 1.5, 2.2 and 3.4 quarts at 1.5 lb with a wide rolled rim, stated to nest and take 50 percent less cabinet space, in a carton published at 9.84 x 9.84 x 3.7 in.
Storage in the fridge as well as the cupboard. WHYSKO, five bowls with a lid each in a carton published at 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 in, stated to nest in a cabinet or stack on top of each other in a refrigerator, with no capacity published.
Two big bowls for one job. Great Credentials, two polished 8 quart bowls published at 13 1/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches high with a flat top rim, in a carton published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 4.25 in that only nesting explains.
One bowl you can actually measure. Chef Craft, a single brushed 8 quart bowl published at 13.25 x 13.25 x 5.0 in and 0.88 lb, dishwasher safe, with no stack, no lid and nothing published about storing it.
Every figure above comes from the maker’s own listing text. These are the things we went looking for and could not source in any of them.
