Bought at Wal-Mart last week (2/2/12). Third time using today and the handle broke into many pieces while opening a can of soup. Incidentally, can was not bent! Part of this black piece of plastic hit my hubby in the face. Fortunately he had his glasses on. No bleeding. I would like a new can opener as soon as possible.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
Farberware has a good name that is rapidly being tarnished by problems with its warranty service, percolators that don't perk, pots that peel and other shortcomings.
Here are a few of the more recent complaints ...


This is kind of but not really a complaint. The can openers make barbed wire pieces when you use it on cans. I think you should be aware of this. It is quite dangerous using these can openers. The can opener works. I am satisfied, just not with the barbed wire idea.

I received an 8-cup coffer pot as a shower gift 45 years ago. It still working great. I also have cookware from 45 years ago, still working fine. After reading all the complaints, I thought you might like to see some positive comments.

I purchased a Farberware easy grip can opener just 2 days ago. I used it for the first time today and it literally fell apart with every crank. The only reason I purchased this particular model and manufacturer was because the packaging stated a "lifetime warranty" so I thought this would last. It was the exact opposite. I would have been better off buying the value opener for $1.99.

We have a Farberware knife set with the measuring cups, plastic spoons and spatula along with scissors and knives. We were using one of the knives and the handle broke and the knife fell out. We have bought knives from the Dollar Store and they are better quality,

Farberware easy grip manual can opener, item #5086675. Worked only three times. Cannot contact anyone for a replacement. If you have an address, please let me know. I have the packaging but not the sales receipt from Walmart. Who would think you had to hang onto every little piece of paper when you purchase something that already has a lifetime warranty?

I bought a fully furnished vacation home before the summer. The Farberware hand-held can opener was already there. The handle part that turns to lock in the can, and to rotate the gear to open the can broke after only a few weeks. I'm trying to contact Faberware for a replacement.

I purchased a hand held can opener that literally fell apart after about a month of use. It never did work good. It would just spin in one place. And generally, any liquid that was in the can would be all over the place. The reason I purchased this can opener was because the package stated lifetime warranty. I did not save my receipt or the packaging. I didn't think I would need it due to having access to the internet. I was thinking if the opener did fail, I would be able to contact Farberware for a replacement. I have no such luck!

My 4-cup coffee pot's handle fell off in my hand with hot coffee in it. Scary? Yes, mad. Yes, please help.

I have a hand-held can opener. It lasted less than six months. It opened a total of about 30 cans. It failed and did not have a receipt to return to Ross.

After the handle broke on my 4-year old Farberware Percolator, I purchased a new one. I use it every day. After 2 weeks, I noticed that it was tripping the circuit breaker. I don't know what you did with the newer models, but it's not working. Judging from the other comments, I won't be buying another one.

I was given a 4-cup coffee pot. I used it two times this morning, and the handle fell off in my hand while the pot was filled with hot coffee. I have had a 12-cup percolator for 10 years, but nothing like this has ever happened. I love Farberware. Please look into this incident.

I have now thrown away my second and final Farberware hand-held can opener. The company did replace the first one free of charge. They both worked great at first, but stopped gripping cans after about a year of usage. The gear that grips the lip of the can wears done fast and renders the opener useless. Don't waste your time or money.

I opened less then 20 cans with the Farberware hand-held can opener and it broke. I had a Dollar store can opener that lasted longer than that. Now, I can't eat the tuna fish I wanted. I am very unhappy and we will be replacing this can opener with a different brand, especially since I see that this is an ongoing problem. I have seen at least three other complaints for the same item. I will no longer purchase a Farbeware product and I will be sure to spread the word about your ** products.

I sent an email to customer service about the can opener that only worked 3 times. Email returned --no such email address.

Why can't they make anything to last for more than 2 months? I bought a handheld Farberware can opener at Walmart. I have used it for no more than 15 cans of food. But the handle just broke off. First, the handle would just spin, then I noticed that when it broke off in my hand, the inside of the handle was cracked and stripped!

I bought some Farberware cooking utensils to use with a new set of T-Fal cookware. I tried to buy something that was made in the USA but I couldn't. These were made in China. When using them, they put off a real strong plastic smell and leave the food tasting horrible. Even after washing them several times in a dishwasher, the smell and foul taste are still there. You can taste it for several hours later. It leaves a foul taste in your mouth. I don't know if this is from the plastic releasing oil when heated or what. I just know that I didn't have this problem when I buy things made in this country. I would like to know what the health effects are from this.

Like so many others, I bought this 8-cup FastPerk Farberware coffeepot less than six months ago. It now stops perking after maybe half a cycle....the end. I, like many others, owned farberware in the past and had a farberware 12-cup pot that lasted for years of use and that I finally sold when I thought drip coffee was the thing to do. Wish I still had that one.

I purchased on October 23, 2010, an electric Farberware coffee pot at Macy's in Pougkeepsie, NY. It was a Christmas gift for my brother. He just called me and told me that the handle broke off. There is no screw to screw back on so it just broke off. The original price was $69.99 and but on sale, I paid $49.99. Do we return it to Macy's? I am very dissatisfied. I still have the receipt.

I received a Farberware 2-4 cup percolator as a gift in November 2010. After 4 months of normal use (once per day), the handle fell off. It appears that the handle was barely tack-welded to the coffee pot. I don't see how this flimsy attachment could ever have stood up to a normal level of use. This can't be repaired with a replacement part due to the welding issue. What a shame, another great American company destroyed.
Apparently, the owners of Farberware don't really care about all of the customer service issues as evidenced by the number of unresolved complaints on this website. Still, I think I'm going to send the pot back to Jeffrey Siegel, CEO and President of Lifetime Brands, Inc., the parent company of Farberware. Don't really expect much in return, though. I will continue to use the old Farberware pot that has been in my family for over 40 years and was made in the USA! But I won't be buying Farberware again.

I purchased a cutlery set on Christmas of 2009. By July, one of the knives had broken. I contacted Farberware's customer support department that is listed on their website and had a prompt response on where to mail the broken knife. A replacement would be returned back to us. We were told it may not be an exact replacement due to what was still available and that it might take 6-8 weeks.
It took only two weeks and an exact replacement was sent back to us. Unfortunately, three more knives have broken in the past six months so I am sending those off as well to the same address, which was accurate at the time of this report: Lifetime Brands, Inc., Warranty Department, 12 Applegate Drive, Robbinsville, NJ 08691

I have used a set of Farberware cookware for over 30 years. I have loved it and had no problems until recently when the bottom of my 2-quart saucepan began to separate, causing a sharp area to develop. Also, the handle is beginning to wobble and I don't have a tool that will tighten it.
The authorized service location listed in the warranty no longer services Farberware cookware. After reading 31 pages of complaints about Farberware, I certainly will not replace my pan with one of that brand. Too bad. Farberware used to make excellent products. I also have a 30-year-old percolator that still works fine and a rotisserie that has given me no problems. Apparently, it is only the products produced recently that are a problem.

I bought a wine opener with the Farberware name on it. It did not work even one time. Not even close. I tried to find an address to send it back. No luck! I also tried to contact customer service through e-mail. But the website would not work. I should have known better. I put it in the trash.

My percolator 4-12 cup FCP412 was a gift from our daughter. We really loved it. However, last Monday, it just didn't percolate. It's not that old, maybe a year or so. My wife and I are ultra-seniors (83) years old, and can't go out to have it fixed. If you could sell me the electric part, I might be able to fix it. Thank you for your help.

I purchased a hand held can opener approx. 2 months ago. The handle is coming off & the twist part cracked without warning. I was not using it for anything other than what it is to be used for.

I have been using Farberware electric percolator for 30+ years. I purchased a 4-8 cup percolator in June. It has started to trip the breaker on the GFI outlet. I bought this percolator because my previous percolator, a 12-cup, lasted less than a year--it just stopped making hot coffee. I tried to send an email to their customer service department, but it was returned undeliverable. I will never buy another Farberware product and will advise my friends to do the same.

I'd like to add the the long list of complaints with Farberware's electric perk coffee pots. I had a 2-4 cup pot for 9 years and needed to replace it. I purchased a new one and had to replace IT 3 times in 18 months. They all worked for a few weeks before the plug went and started tripping the circuit breaker. They all had the same problem so I'm sure it's the way they are being made. Unfortunately, I can't find the box or receipt for the last purchase so I'm stuck. I've tried contacting Farberware on numerous occasions and can't reach anyone on the phone. Please don't buy their coffee pots.

After only 16 months, this lousy percolator with the borrowed name of Farberware makes cold weak coffee. Apparently, the original manufacturer sold their good name to this lousy company. The problem is a lousy rivet in a cheap Clixon thermostat. It is just about impossible to get the unit repaired and getting the part is taking more than a week (if it ever gets here).

Farberware Coffee Pot. I owned a Farberware percolator coffee pot for about 12 years, and it worked great! I recently dropped it and cracked the base and purchased a new one. The new one is not like the old one. The metal body is lighter weight and every time I perk coffee, it spills the coffee grinds into the coffee, leaving a residue of grinds at the bottom every time. I exchanged it for another one, but it does the same. These new pots (made in China) are definitely of lower quality, and I'm afraid at how long this pot will last me before it breaks down. I have lost my faith in Farberware.

I purchased a manual Farberware can opener at Wal-Mart. It cuts open the top of the can until it gets to the the end and then I have to twist and twist the top to get it off. I haven't cut myself yet but it is only a matter of time. I will try and take it back to Wal-Mart for a replacement, but of course, I threw away the package and also the receipt.

I bought a Farberware hand can opener and I commented several times to my mom that Farberware was a good brand that I could trust. I bought it only about three months ago. Now, the handle falls off that turns the blade to open the can. I tried to put the handle back on but it won't go back on. Every time I tried to open a can, the handle would fall off in my hand. No real damage except a few wasted dollars, a lot of aggravation and now, I don't trust a brand which had been such a quality brand.

My daughter purchased an eight cup Superfast model number FCP280G Percolator for me as a gift at Macy's about two months ago. It has been working fine since I received it. However, two weeks ago, it suddenly stopped working. I didn't understand why. So I unplugged the wire from the pot and looked inside where the prongs go and there was a piece of plastic that had broken off. It was supposed to hold the prongs in place but when it is plugged in, the prongs go too far into the coffee pot and doesn't have contact with the wire to work. My daughter doesn't have the receipt or the box and I cannot afford to buy a new pot. I would like to receive a new one in place of the defective one.

I have a 12-cup Farberware pot for 1 year and it has stopped making coffee. The water is hot but only slightly colored to look like coffee. Farberware is not what it use to be. I had a pot previous to this one for 15 years and it always made a good cup of coffee.

I bought Farberware hand-held can opener and I'm having a problem with it. It doesn't seem to open the cans. It just turns and doesn't move. I do not open many cans and I've had it for a short time. I would like a replacement. It did work in the beginning, but like everything today, it's all bad. I got stuck in the middle of dinner.

I do not have a complaint! I love my Fiberware pots. I got my set as a wedding gift, 38 years ago, and have never bought a new pot. I did lose a handle on a lid once but that's it. I just thought maybe you'd like to know.

I purchased these pots and pans over a year ago. I wanted to get away from the Teflon for health reasons. Everything sticks to these pots and pans, even bacon. I have tried using the Spray Pam, Crisco Canola Oil and Extra Virgin Olive oil but nothing helps. I am unable to access/register a complaint with Farberware Corporation.

Farberware can opener cut blade and wheel warped. Consequently, it periodically doesn't cut through the can.

Purchased a new Faberware coffee percolator after old one stopped working. (The old unit Was a solid and well designed. It lasted 8 years). Purchased a new unit and noticed the plug was redesigned. After 6 months of use the plug broke. Thought it was a fluke. Bought another Faberware pot and within 3 months the same thing happened again.

As some similar complaintants, I, too, have the 4 cup perculator and have had nothing but issues. The problem seems to be the cord, but can find nothing to replace it...not even from manufactor. I have always been satisfied in the past, but will no longer buy this pot.

I bought online a 13 pieces set of cookware of this brand. A $20 rebate was offered and I sent the form the same day I got the box, only to get it back because it was undeliverable. How can I get my money?

This is the third and last purchase of a Farberware can opener which keeps breaking. They look sturdy enough, and I don't see any sense in spending a fortune on something as simple as a can opener. I cannot find an address or phone number to contact the company as I would like a replacement or reimbursement.

Two farberware 8 cup coffee percolators 280 have stopped working due to a defective prong that connects to cord. $ spent on 2. One I sent back; the other I cannot find an address to send it back for repair. Don't want someone else paying $40.+ on the pot.

the knives is question are in a 14 piece block. two of the steak knives are rusted and can no longer be used. my question is... where do i go to complain? the store says "farberware " but the internet gives me no info on what to do. can you help? any info would be helpful. thank you

Purchased a 13-piece set cookware by Faberware. They offered $20.00 mail-in rebate. I provided all information, such as, UPC code, original receipt and mail-in rebate form. It was returned to me; not able to deliver. Proofread address and it was the exact address. This is not fair. What to do I do?

I bought a Farberware Percolator to replace the 4 cup Farberware I had for 26 years until it died. The new percolator keeps tripping the circuit breaker and I can't use it. There is no complaint department! I threw away the packaging never thinking this would happen with a new coffee pot. It's a Farberware FCP240-AG Superfast Percolator. Is this something you can help with? It is frustrating getting on their website and there is no way to write an e-mail to them and no customer service department.

I bought this 13 piece Farberware cooking set that come with a $20 rebate. After I send in the rebate, it came back as "not deliverable" to address. The phone number and the email doesn't work. Got this number from another complainer- 800- and was told that the previous address was closed down and no longer accepting rebate. You can send in the original envelope as well with your rebate with post marked date indicating that it was sent in within 30 days of purchase if its been over 30 days.

Today I just purchased my 4th Farberware coffee pot electric perk, the 2-4 cup. It only lasts one year and then the coffee does not perk anymore. Used to be a quality product. Now it's just junk. Wish there was a perk pot made in the USA. I have replaced all the parts one by one and nothing can get this thing to work.

I became a widow at 24 yrs of age with two babies and one of the things I was able to do with the life insurance was buy a box of Farberware pots and pan. It was a 3 pan, $30.00 dollar investment. That was in 1980 and in 2002 the bottom separated from the rest of the pan on my 2 qt. I remarried in 1995 and my new husband was cooking and all of a sudden he noticed that the pan separated. It was a hard time in our lives. We were even homeless at one point, but I kept the pan in my storage area. I was confident that when I got back on my feet that one day, Farberware would replace it.
Later, we tried phone numbers and asking store personnel. Then finally retail store personnel told me that Farberware no longer backs their pots and pans! So I put it in the back of my pots and pans. I recently got the internet service and one day stumbling across my pan I looked it up. It was not surprising to read what others have written here. I realize one would think that after 30 years, I shouldn't expect my pan replaced. But my mother taught me to take care of my pots and pans and keep them clean and free from buildup and that they would last a lifetime. My mother, Jean, has passed and I have one of her pans that I know is now at least 50 years old and you can't tell because she took care of it so well. I expect the other 2 pieces of Farberware I have to last a lifetime.

My 4-cup Farberware percolator pot worked on and off and we discovered that the electrical contacts at the bottom of the pot were recessed. I tried contacting the company on the website with no success, so I mailed the pot to the address listed on the website and my pot was returned unopened. This is the third Farberware pot I have bought in less than 2 years and it will be my last purchase.

They are all flaking! Who knows what kind of poison we are eating if we eat veggies boiled in water in those pots!

I submitted paperwork to the above address as directed to receive $20 rebate. The letter came back from post office as "Not Deliverable as addressed, "Unable to Forward." I checked the address to make sure I printed it correctly. The address is correct as shown on rebate mail-in card. I attempted to contact Farberware Rebate by phone and received a very fast busy signal. I purchased pots and pans because it was a great deal with $20 rebate. False advertisement.

I bought a set of pans from Faberware with the promise of a $20 rebate. I followed all instructions and mailed the required documentation in on time. I received the envelope back, unable to forward, not deliverable as addressed. I have some financial issues and was not happy to see I got ripped off again. I would have never spent that much money as I did but with the rebate it made the price a little better.

I just purchased a box of cookware from Kohl's that was made by Farberware. It was a 12-piece set of black cookware. On the box it says that there is a $20 mail-in rebate. No date on it! So I figured great, I'll buy it and get $20 back. When I opened the book and was about to send in the rebate, it said that the offer ended on 12/31/09! Why isn't this on the box? Now, I am out $20.00! I tried to call the number on the rebate and it is no longer in service. This is a scam for people to buy their product. I would like to find out how to get my money back.

I bought a (I thought) quality Farberware can opener (#5025676) on 9/24/09. Because it had a lifetime limited warranty, I sent it in for replacement on 12/17/09 when the red casing on one of the handles broke under normal usage (I paid for postage). I received a new can opener on 1/1610. Unfortunately, after I used it a few times, it quit working. The handle just turned around, but usually did not penetrate the can. After contacting customer service, I was told that I could send the can opener in for replacement, but they did not offer refunds.

I purchased a set of cooking pans from Kohl department store and one of the selling points was a $20.00 rebate coupon that was to be sent in. I purchased the pans, sent in the required forms and within a week, my letter came back as unable to forward. I then tried to call the number given on the form and all I have received is a busy signal for two days. I think they should not be allowed to lead the consumer on and then cheat them out of what was promised. I think this is a rip-off and they should not be able o continue to do this to the trusting public. I lost $20.00 and feel that they owe this to me. If I don't receive my $20.00, I am going to take the pans back and not buy anything from Farberware and give them a bad name to all my friends and relatives.

I bought this set of cookware for my kids on their anniversary on 9/02/09. I sent in for the $20 rebate and still haven't received it. However, no one answers the phones and the website is just advertising for other Web address--nothing to do with rebates. I just feel ripped off for the $20 rebate that I never received.

I emailed (or wrote) them in Nov. or Dec regarding the set of steak knives with their name on them and were to be Stainless Steel. They could not have been because they immediately rusted. They did send an email and told me how to wash them. I am 66 years. I know how to take care of knives. Anyway, they told me to mail them back to them which I did. Now I don't even have rusty steak knives because I have not heard from them since.

I have used Faberware coffee pots for over 20 years. They have been really good pots and have made great coffee until the last pot I purchased. This last pot started acting up and didn't last over a year. I think that while the price of the coffee pot has stayed quite high, the quality and the workmanship have dropped faster than a duck on opening day of hunting season. I won't be purchasing another one.

This is a non complaint about the company. I will admit that in 2002 and 2003 I went through the same circus with Frank B and Connie in Berwick, PA as Jay and many others in this column. I eventually got all my pans returned, re-coated. I even returned one for re-coating during this time. However, it's a new day and dawn of Farberware. In 2007, I returned the Millennium cookware again for re-coating, but this time, after a phone call to an independent source, I obtained information on returning my cookware directly to Farberware in Vallejo, CA.
They, in turn, sent me an entire brand new set within 2 weeks! Recently, Feb.3, 2010, I sent one back again. Today, March 1, I called a number I got online, I learned that my repair/replacement is in process and I should have it by March 15, 2010. So my point is, to all who access this complaint forum, in my opinion and experience, I think Farberware has learned that outsourcing it's warranty work to Frank ** (or anyone else) is not the way to go if they want to resurrect their reputation.

I have been trying to get my $20 rebate since before Christmas. The phone number and address is wrong. I saw in my local newspaper yesterday. The same rebate was in the paper. How can I get in touch with someone to get my rebate? Thanks.

I bought a set of Farberware cookware from Kohl's and was supposed to receive a $20.00 rebate. I sent in all the necessary things (I have copies.) on September 8, 2009 and have not received anything from them yet. The coupon said to allow 8-10 weeks for delivery. The number only rings busy when I call.

Three-prong connector for the plug pushes into the coffee pot. The old coffee pots had small nuts holding the connectors in place. The new coffee pots have a cheap insert. After a few plug ins, the connectors break apart and end up in the coffee pot. I will never repeat, never buy Farberware again. I can't get in touch with the company. They are hiding in China!

I bought Farberware's cheapest can opener and it broke after just a few cans. I replaced it with a more expensive one, which did the same. I complained to them, and they advised me to ship the broken item to them for repair or replacement, and told me that they don't do refunds. So they expect me to deal with the hassle and expense of shipping back the piece of crap, only to get another identical piece of crap. Not bloody likely. I'll never buy Farberware again and will talk about them like a dog at every chance.

I received an electric skillet for Christmas 2 years ago and after using it a few times, the nonstick finish wore off, where the heater coil is under the bottom of the pot. I returned it to the store where it was purchased and they refunded the money. I purchased the same pan at another store (at a cheaper price) and the same thing happened to this one after a few uses. I have used the pan like this for while, but will not use it anymore because I don't think it's healthy. I will not buy any more Farberware pans or anything else after reading all the negative reviews.

This is the third time we had a problem with Farberware. Why is it that the product doesn't work after the warranty? My warranty lasted until 1-6-2010. Now, it breaks down for the third time. We are getting very frustrated about this. We would like a replacement. I purchased a Farberware stainless steel percolator on 1-06-2009. One year warranty and one month after, the pot doesn't work. Again, please get back to me. Thank you.

I bought a manual can opener from WalMart. It never worked right and after about 3 weeks it broke. I don't have a receipt but it is the most poor excuse for a can opener that I have ever had. Plastic parts? They cracked and the handle fell off. I would like someone to contact me please. I finally (after searching around) found the old standby the Swing Away.

After owning 4 Farberware coffee pots in about 4 years, this was finally it. I have decided to make a complaint. These coffee pots aren't cheap, but they are surely made that way. Each one has failed in being around for more than a year. They stop performing after a few months. It's either the element or the cord. The pot just stops percolating for the proper amount of time to have a delicious cup of coffee. In short, the coffee is tasteless due to lack of percolation.

$20 rebate has been returned twice stating no such address. Undeliverable. Per internet, there are numerous complaints. How can I obtain a rebate as promised? Item was purchased at Kohl's.

Farberware $20 rebate: I sent in the required information and the envelope was returned as undeliverable. The website listed on the rebate form is invalid as the phone number.

Purchased the Farberware cookware set with the $20 mail in Rebate. Sent all required and was returned undeliverable two times. How can I get my rebate?

Sent in Farberware $20 rebate, exactly as requested by the due date. Envelope was sent back to me as undeliverable. I then changed the address slightly and resent it and received it back again as undeliverable. The phone number and web site listed on the rebate form are not working. This makes me lost confidence in Kohls dept store and is money out of my pocket.

I have gone through the same ** as the others that have complained. First, the original rebate center went out of business. Then when you finally get information to re-submit, it's up to 35 days before it's in the system and 8-10 weeks before you "expect" to get your rebate. Are they using stone tablets to do this? We're in the age of computers! I have a feeling after 60 days, I can get on www.status-now and I will still find I'm not in the system. I wish I'd done my homework before purchasing my Farberware Cookware with the caveat of a $20 rebate. Be forewarned. It's not worth it.

I sent in $20.00 rebate form from the purchase of pots and pans. Form came back with address as undeliverable. After searching online, I found a number, 800-953-3098, for rebate center. Service rep was very helpful and explained that the company who offered rebate had gone out of business and they were not able to recall all rebate forms with incorrect address from all dealers of Farberware. I was advised to resend my form. I was assured that there would be no problem even if my rebate turn in deadline had expired. We shall see. I am pretty vigilant and I will be calling them in 3-4 weeks. Just give them a call if you need help and make sure you get the correct address for your particular rebate offer.

It's regarding a nut cracker also with Farberware in packaging. The nut cracker is a joke item with no teeth to hold a nut, just rounded off areas, whereby the nut just flies out of the cracker. They keeping telling me (via net) to return item, but why waste time and money when the product is totally non-functional? Any replacement would be a waste of time. I repeatedly asked to speak to someone in Farberware. Why are hey endorsing this totally useless product?

I took out the biggest knife and after a few uses, the handle part decided to fall apart. I had bought before a different cutlery set and used it for seven years never had a problem. Matter of fact, one of my family members is still using it. I would like Farberware to refund my purchase. They can have everything back. I am very upset over this and will not consider buying Farberware in the future.

I bought a Faberware coffee perculator and it quit working in less then 2 months. The company instructed me to send $7.50 for shipping of a replacement and the check was cashed. I've waited and waited and no coffee pot arrived. Be cautious and careful when you deal with some company on the internet. Around $60.00 in loss money and a lot of frustration.

I bought Farberware set of pots with $20 rebate. I sent form, UPC, receipt to address on rebate form (above) and it came back non-deliverable. The 866 number on the phone had a fast busy. This is inexcusable. Luckily on this site, I found a posting from someone else with the same problem that had a different phone number and they gave me a different address to try. I'm not sure what the results will be. This is definitely deceptive trade practices.

I mailed in a rebate for Faberware Set $20 Mail-In Rebate. My envelope was returned by the Post Office stating that it was not a deliverable as addressed. The address I had on the envelope was the same as the address on the rebate form Dept 105892 Faberware Rebate P.O.Box 52900, Phoenix, AZ 85072-2900. Where should my rebate be sent so I can receive my $20? It states on the rebate that I only have 30 days from the date of purchase for the postmark. Please advise.

Purchased 13-pc set with $20 rebate incentive. Submitted UPC, original receipt well within deadline date and received submission back that no address exist. I had correct address. Feels like scam. This will impact my Farberware decisions in future. This seems to be a running complaint.

I purchased the 13-piece Farberware set from Khols because I was told that there was a $20.00 rebate. I mailed it on the 20th of June and received it back today saying there is no such address. I called the 866 number on the rebate form and it keeps saying to call again later. The Meyer Corp website does not exist. I will no longer purchase anything from Farberware and I will let everyone I know what occurred. I'm just out the $20.00.

I mailed rebate ($20.00). Mail returned as no address found. I tried calling the 800 number; it's not a working number. Says must be postmarked 30 prior to purchase date, which was 12/8/2009. I purchased because of price with rebate. I just thought this should be reported if a lot of people are being scammed.

I also had purchases a 12 piece Faberware set and expected a $20 rebate and returned as undeliverable and the phone does not work Faberware. I thought was a reputable company.

I purchased a 13-piece Farberware pot set that had a $20.00 rebate. I mailed it out to the address given on the rebate, and it was mailed back to me. The rebate address was no longer in effect. So I came on this website to see, and lo and behold, others were having the same problem I was having.
So one of the writers gave an address and telephone number that was the right place to send it to which was Velocity Fulfillment PO box 22178 Tempe, AZ 85285-2178 and telephone number 1800-953-3098. They were very helpful, and I hope to receive my rebate soon in the mail. Thanks for sharing the information. Please put this on the website, so someone else can be blessed by this too. Thanks.

I received a Farberware Superfast coffee pot for Christmas 2008. About a month ago, the coffee was not hot like it should be. Then coffee started to be very light. Yesterday, the base of the pot was very hot, but the pot itself was cold and coffee did not percolate.
I feel that a Farberware coffee pot should last much longer than 1 year. I always thought Farberware was a good product. I've had my Farberware pots for almost as long as I've been married which will be 50 years in two weeks. (I'm still using the pots.) I am wondering if there has been a recall on the coffee pot.

Original receipt, showing purchase of appropriate product and price
Original UPC Code from product packaging
Coupon from inside the package.
I mailed everything back within the time proper frame. But I received the envelope back marked "not deliverable as addressed," even though I used the exact address shown on the rebate coupon exactly as they had it for the rebate. I tried calling the number on the coupon, and the number was not working. It is now later than the 30 days allowed, but I originally sent it within the appropriate time frame.

I bought an 8 cup percolator in August 2009. The spring on the stem topped off and now coffee won't perk. I called the 1-800 number. They were no help at all. They told me to go to the website. What a waste of time. There was no info on warranties at all, just trying to sell you parts that cost more than the product. I won't ever buy anything else with the name Farberware. Warranties are no good.

So if anyone else has a problem with their Farberware, I would suggest taking it back to the store for a refund and buy a differnt product. I've used Farberware in the past and really surprised at the products they have on the market today.

We purchased a 13 pc. set of Farberware on Dec. 16, 2009 at Kohl's in Crystal Lake. The $20 rebate form was inside the box and we mailed it in the next day. The letter, etc. was returned, marked "Not deliverable as addressed." Repeated calls to the phone number listed just result in a busy signal.

On December 20th 2009, I purchased a 13 piece set of FARBERWARE cookware at my local department store, and the saleslady told me there was a 20.00 dollar rebate in the box and it says on the outside of the box a $20.00 mail-in rebate packed inside. There was absolutley no rebate or waranty of any kind in the box. There was just the card board used to pack the pans and lids. I don't think it is very fair of your company to promise the rebate and not get it!!!!!!!

Rebate offer for $20 on Farberware pots and pans came back as undeliverable

Mailed rebate form for Farberware Sets $20.00 Mail-In Rebate. It was returned as non-deliverable, also phone number was disconnected, also the meyercorp.rebatestatus.com was a bogus site. However, I looked at other people who wrote into Consumer Affairs.com and got the right phone number. The nice lady at rebate- 1-800- was very polite and explained that the rebate processor went bankrupt and was no longer handleing the rebates. She then gave me the appropriete address: Velocity, P.O. Box, T;empe, AZ 85285-2178. Then to track the rebate call 1-800. Also, put Faberware Rebate on the outside of the envelope. Please post for other consumers happiness.

The bottoms of these pots and pans and skillets are too slick, they slide around on the burners. None of my other cookware slides on the burners. While cooking in Farberware, if you stir your contents, you have to hold the pot or skillet to keep it on the burner, and, if your stove top isn't level, the hot pot full of boiling liquid, can slide all by itself, off the stove, scald you or a child or pet. I have had this set of cookware for about a year, it is the same slippery problem even after much use, they are not stained, no food sticks to the outside either! This is an obvious case, of production flaws which can and will lead to personal injury. Much worse than the McDonalds Hot Coffee case.

I bought an 8 Ccup faberware coffee perculator 3 month ago and it has already quit working. I try to get in touch, but all corspondences was return. I paid about $60.00 for the thing and it turns out to be a piece of junk.

I've had my Farberware percolator less than a year and it has stopped percing long enough to make a good cup of coffee. I have used these percolators for over 30 years and my mother before me, and have not had problems like this. I wonder if they have recently begun making them differently, maybe using inferior parts or inferior manufacturing practices.

Bought cookware set on 10/30 with $20 rebate. Submitted rebate, but was returned as undeliverable on 11/18. Tried meyercorp web site on form, but this turned out to be a travel site. Tried 800 number on form, but this was invalid. How convenient that it says the rebate must be postmarked within 30 days of purchase. I'm sending my returned envelope and hope they'll process it.

Rebate came back marked not deliverable as addressed. Unable to forward.

every holiday I make the attempt to use this cookie sheet. and much to my dismay I waste have of my cookie dough because of this pan. At first I thought it was my oven (its not), oven set to high (its not), pan set on the wrong rack (its not) no matter what I bake on this pan it burns, burns, burns!!!!! This is the first Farberware product I have ever owned and some of my pans came from my mom and grandmother that I'm having this problem. The pan is dark coated (taken into consideration when baking)and 11x17 in size.

I purchased the 14pc Paula Deen knife set, really nice, sharp and heavy, my probkem is my paring knife has started to rust and I cannot get anyone to help me. There is no information on line to contact them and the store I bought it from last month says I have to contact the mfg. How do I do that?

I bought a Farberware kitchen 8,5" (24 cm) knife a year ago. The stainless steel blade just broke in two about 1" from the handle for no apparent reason. Walmart says I have to deal with the manufacturer but I CAN NOT CONTACT THEM. Does anyone have their Email or TEl no? No damage except the cost of the knife, but this shouldn't happen. I've used similar looking knives for years and have never had one break on me

$20 rebate for Farberware Cookware was returned from post office as undeliverable. The rebate is still being advertised in stores and can not be processed. Called the toll free number for the rebate company, but it was disconnected. Farberware is doing a false advertisement with their products. The rebate was offered on the box of cookware, in fact, rebate form was inside box.

Now what do I do? If Farberware is putting incorrect addresses on their rebate forms then this constitutes fraud. Please advise. I will keep the mail with all the info on it in case you need them. Thanks. No rebate!

We don't know how to contact the company that makes the coffee maker to get another part.

I purchased the farberware superfast coffee pot. model FCP240 I had this pot for a few months. The prongs where the cord plugs into the pot fell apart.The pat#4147925 and pat#2817743. I paid $40 for this coffee pot. I am very unhappy. I feel farberware should stand behind their product and send me a new pot.

Purchased cookware set that included a $20 rebate. Send all information in. Said product must be purchased by 12/31/09. Purchased on 10/4/09. Received what I had sent back stating "Boxed Closed". Tried to call number, got a fast busy signal, tried email address given on rebate form, not a good website.

coffee perculator fa-fcp240 when power cord went bad farberware claimed they are irreplacable. we have been using their perculators most of my life & the power cords usually go bad every 2 years or so & they were always replacable. now you would have to buy the whole perculator again. the product is unusable without a power cord the consumer public should all know about this scam.

Approximaately three weeks ago, I had just filled a styrofoam cup with coffee out of this product and accidently knocked it over onto my leg and left foot. As the liquid filled my shoe and soaked my soak and pants leg, i cannot explain the pain it caused. I have been treated by a doctor and am still trying to heal from severe 2nd and third degree burns. I don't have a clue as to what degrees the coffee becomes when ready, but it is extremely dangerous and way too hot. I can't help but to think what it might have done to my 4 year old grand daughter if she had been in the spot I was in when it spilled.

I used my Farberware 5 quart slow cooker FSSC500 for the first time recently. Since my kitchen had just been remodeled, I placed a plastic cutting board underneath since the directions read "the cooking base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is where the heating element is located. If necessary to handle, use pot holders or oven mitts." Luckily I took the precaution of placing the cutting board underneath the unit and checked the unit often.
My recipe for pulled pork called for a cooking time of 8 hours on low or 4 on high. After 8 hours of cooking on low, the pork was hot but not cooked enough to pull apart. At this time, I turned the control to high. An hour later I checked the cooker only to find that one of the plastic legs had melted completely down to the screw on the bottom of the unit, the top of the plastic cutting board had melted, the plug had burned through but had not shorted because it was positioned flat and the two exposed wires were not toughing each other, the counter top was extremely hot as was the underside of the counter top.
I called the 1-888- number the next morning. I described the scenerio and was asked to hold on the line. Several minutes later the representative came back on the line and said they would consider the unit under warranty even tho at this time I did not have my receipt. She said they would be happy to send a replacement appliance free of charge. I could pick out another appliance since they no longer carried the slow cooker. I said I was not looking for another appliance but did want this model to be recalled. She said if it were determined that I needed to send it back for examination, I would receive shipping instructions via mail.
A few days ago I received a letter advising me how to "apply" for a replacement. It was sent from Applica Consumer Products. There was no mention of sending back the unit for examination. I did search for this model on the web and found several sites where it can be purchased.
Anything you can do to make certain that no one else uses this slow cooker would be greatly appreciated. Except for my preventative measure and my attention to the unit, there would have been a house fire without question. I am hopeful that no permanent damage was done to my laminate countertop but only time will reveal that. I thank you for your assistance in this matter.

the new coffee pot that i just purchased about 4 months ago has stop perking .IT seem that there are several people with the same complaint I would like to know if faberware is going to replace this. it is a manufacturing defect

I bought a Farberware Millennium Coffee Pot. The cord had a short inside the cord. The cord was not cut or damaged. I called Farberware and they said to return the plug and they would send me a new pot. I did not want a pot just a cord. I did get a new pot (seams to be working fine/have for 3 months.) I called to order a new cord so I could use the second pot. Farberwear informed me that they do not sell the plug as a replacement part. They don't know if they will ever sell the plug. I fnd this very strange.

There is no complaint address or number that I can find on the internet. Just complaints from people re. Faberware. What a shame. It used to be the tops in cookware. Oh well, America is known as a throw-away-society and once again, Faberware proves that statement right.

I've have the cute little pot-bellied pots since the 1980s. Loved them. Since they've gone to the three-pronged cord, I've had two and they only work if I am standing there holding the top of the pot and the cord. Is Farberware aware of customer disatisfaction. Since I've had two, it can't be me. The problem to me is inconvenience. Standing with the percolator is not fun in a rushed morning.

I own a Farberware percolator. The unit is not even six months old. It stopped perking altogether. I e-mailed the company and never got an answer. Every time I go on the internet and attempt to look for parts, all I get is other companies trying to charge me money to chat with an expert. All I need is to know how to buy the part that appears to be broken. I am very unhappy with the product.

So I shall now be looking at other brands, I am sorry to say. No physical harm was done, but my trust in what had been a "decent and honorable" company has been seriously eroded. Can we not trust ANY of these major producers of consumer products?

with crumbs. I think I am due a refund from this company.

I was using a faberware pot. The aluminum that holds together the stainless steel bottom, melted, causing the bottom to fall off as I lifted the pot. The aluminum fell on the stove/floor and on my feet. Which got severly burned. Not happy. Didn't even know that a pan could melt. There should be a warning.

Purchased Farberware with $40.00 rebate, sent form in in January 2009, to date still gave not rec'd rebate. 6/24/09

I still have the receipt.
No Farberware contacts availiable anywhere!
The power cord exploded and burned my stomach and counter top. I had to go to the hospital to be treated for burns. I have the hospital report and photos of my burns and photos of the burned counter top.

I purchased an 8-12 cup Farberware Coffee Percolator. Within 2 months the plug on the pot broke. I returned it to the store where they exchanged it for a new one. Within 2 months, the same thing has happened again. There is obviously a problem with this product. My mother has had a Farberware pot for 20 years, with no problem.

I sent in a rebate in jan. 2009 it is now almost june2009 and no rebate returned to me. Also i have to agree wiyh many others on how tho cookware bows and the lids do not fit the pans very well at all.

The customer service address to contact them on the internet doesn't work and I can't find an address or phone number to complain about a faulty kitchen can opener. There is no way to send the item back if you can't contact them for direction.

This should not happen after 2 years!

About 3 years ago my elderly mother purchased a Farberware mixmaster; and as of today (May 11, 2009) it is broken. This is the third mixer she's owned in this decade. These small appliances used to be inexpensive and last for decades but are now very expensive and being built to break in a couple years.
This is unfair to the customer, and is very bad for the environment: broken appliances end up in garbage dumps. My mother isn't certain in which store she bought this, but she shops at Northgate Mall in the north end of Seattle, and purchased it at one of 3 stores. I'm still trying to find some paper work to let me know which store.
Warranties don't protect customers; they only protect retailers and the manufacturers. Customers are much worse off than when there was no such thing as a warranty.
I would like to post this complaint to a blog. Do you know of any? We need blogs where people can post complaints against specific companies, warning people which products not to buy.

I purchased my Farberware 12 cup percolator in August of 2008. It quit working in April 2009. Farberware offers no reapair service or returns. I found a company in Illinios that will fix it but the cost is $35 and with shipping to & return it will cost more that the percolator cost. If I had read the other complaints I would not have purchased this pot.
$72.00 down the drain!

We had the same exact problem as Bill of Bartlett TN (11/14/08). The pot was accidentally boiled dry on the stove. (Years ago this happened with a stainless steel pot of another brand and the red hot pot was rushed to cold water in the sink without any damage) When I noticed the Farberware pot I quickly grabbed it and swung it over to the kitchen sink faucet- causing RED HOT LIQUEFIED ALUMINUM to fly all over the kitchen. THIS DESTROYED OUR NEW FLOOR!
This is an unsafe and irresponsible design. I was very lucky not to be seriously injured, or to burn down the house as a result. The pot does NOT list a warning of this possibility. In fact, the pot is identified as stainless steel with a copper bottom. I had no idea the pot contained aluminum- as I never would have purchased it!
This completely destroyed our brand new vinyl kitchen floor. The entire floor must now be replaced- costing several hundred dollars.

Forwarded all neccesary information and UPC codes to the above address on 12-29-08 for a $20.00 rebate. To date I have not received anything,furthermore there is no telephone number to solve this problem. Please advise as I want my rebate....

Am complaining about the cord that plugs into the Farberware Millennium Percolator coffee pot. The minute you move the pot, the plug that goes into the pot falls out. We just purchased this pot two days ago and have used it just once.

The problem - there is no accountability for products at Farberware. No one to answer consumer complaints. No way to contact them!!!! I have a can opener that fell apart when I used it the first time. It cost $6.50. I can go back to Wallmart to get a refund but that is not the point. Why should any consumer be subjected to such faulty products and have no recourse! Why should I have to drive back to the store and complain to them - Farberware should be held responsible for these faulty products. Read the consumer complaints on line. It is a nationwide display of fault products by Farberware.

This is the second Farberware Electric Coffee Pot that does not work well. The coffee is the color of weak tea and is just lukewarm when it is done. Not drinkable at all.Both of them had the same trouble. I got the last one as a Christmas present so it is quite new.I am an 84 yr.old widow and cannot afford to keep buying these pots. Can the heating element be fixed somewhere? The stainless steel coffee pots are 2-12 cups.
Pots are not usable and a loss of money the way they are now.

Bought a set of very expensive frying pans and the small one warped. Now I can't find anywhere to report this. I'm sure it warranted //I have had them for about 18 mos.

I purchased a Farberware expresso coffee maker Model #FES4B. After one week the frother no longer steamed to make the milk froth. Then a few weeks later, the entire steaming mechanism failed. The steam came out of the top closure instead of pouring water/coffee into the pot. I burned my wrist attempting to see if the cover was indeed tightned properly, which it was. Something happend on the insides of the machine and all steaming mechanisms quit working properly.
Economic damange is I wasted money and now must purchase another coffee maker. And burned wrist while steam came out of the wrong portion of the machine.

Received as a gift, an set of Affiniti Farberware 12 piece set. Both skillets are irregular in circumference, not allowing the lid to fit well. I returned the set to Kohls and they gave me another set. That set was the same. As I had given my old set to charity, I had to keep that set. I have not been able to find an address for Farberware to write them. After reading their response to other customers, do I have any chance of replacing my skillets even if I do contact them?

I recently purchased 2 Farberware skillets from Wal-mart. When I tried to use them they bow'd up and didn't lie even on the burner. This only happened when heat was applied. I contacted the Farberware company and got no help. I ask if other people have complained about their product in which I got a NO response. I see here they weren't exactly telling me the truth. They offered no solutions and no answers to why the product is doing this. I will never buy farberware products again if this is the way they treat their consumers. Don't waste your money on bad merchanize and worse customer support.

I bought the set of pots and pans at christmas and sent out the rebate right away and have still not received it. Thank you

I bought a Farberware coffee pot and in two months it was broken. I could not fine a repair shop, so I went on ebay.

On Friday the 28th of November 2008( the day after Thanksgiving) I purchased a set of Farberware pot's ans pan's @ JC Penney's in Eugene, OR which offered a $20.00 rebate. I immediantly filled out the paperwork and mailed it to Farberware Rebates and put it into the mail the next day. I have waited patiently and started counting the day's and then the weeks. I have since unpacked and settled into my new home ( for which I needed the pots and pans).
It is now into March and still I have not received my $20.00 rebate. I have now tried to locate my original paperwork and have not been successful, however, I did make my purchase by credit card and have the bank statement, and the store verifies the sale and rebate on that set. Please tell me, or help me to locate this transaction. I do not know where to begin. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

I purchased a Farberware non-electric can opener at Walmart recently. Of course, I didn't save either the receipt nor your address as I expected the product to work satisfactorily. I should have been on the internet and read the complaints before buying!!!! Obviously, I am not alone with my complaint. It lasted only a very short time--the cogs bind and it refuses to open a can. I went to Walmart again and read the attached card which says I have to return it for a refund, and pay the postage myself. Obviously, since it cost ~$8.00, it will cost me nearly that to mail it back, plus my time and effort and, from the complaints I am reading, that would be wasted effort plus the cost of mailing so I will not do that. I will certainly never buy anything made by Farberware again. You certainly owe me the $8 as I now have spent another $8 to replace it (but not with a 2nd Farberware brand) so, to date, a usable can opener has cost me $16!!!!!!!

Mailed in $20.00 rebate form with receipt and barcode, etc. on 14 piece specialties set. Over two months ago and have not receiced the rebate. I went to rebate processor rebate site and they had no record of me. The rebate was in the required time frame and everything. I don't know who to contact but it is a rip off.
IF I HAD KNOWN I WASN'T GOING TO GET THE $20.00 REBATE I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER SET. OR BRAND EVEN. IT SEEMS TO BE PLANNED SALES STRATEGY.

I sent in all the necessary paperwork for rebate over 2 months ago and have not received the rebate.

I purchased some Faberware pots and pans on oct 24,2008. I sent a copy of my receipt and the UPC for a 20.00 rebate. It was to take 8-11 weeks. I have never recvd my rebate check. I cannot find any telephone number to follow up on this.
I see I am not alone on this - thanks

I have purchased two farberware coffee pots,models #123/138.they work for about 2months and the heating elements completely stop working.I have called the company's customer service line and was told to use their franchised repair service at my own expense.the warranties and sales receipts I no longer have.I am a senior citizen living on fixed income and these coffeepots are very expense for what they hyped to be.
two coffee pots were over $150.00 with tax and the heating elements don't work at all.

I purchased the 16 speed stand mixer. The cost was well over $150.00. It is -to be polite - garbage. The bowls on the mixer's turntable not only did not turn, neither the mixer nor the beaters/dough hooks could handle heavier dough (although it claims to mix bread dough) The mixer started vibrating and the bowls - and turntable itself - jumped off the base while it was straining to mix. The only thing it would do was mix liquids - runny batter and only in the large bowl (that was the only one and the only time it spun on the turntable).
I had to throw the entire unit out as I was afraid to donate it for fear it would hurt and unsuspecting user.

I never noticed your complaint department before until I tried to look for another farberware coffee pot.
Just recently I sent one back to the company with a note attached and told them that I had bought more than 20 in the last few years for myself and for gifts. My coffee pots usually break within a couple of months, but I am so used to buying farberware I keep replacing them. The ones I gave for gifts the people that received them were to ashamed to tell me that they had to through them out. They had all broken.
My father of 93 still has his for years, so I know that they are not making them the way they were made before.
I hate to give up on them because I have been using farberware products for a very long time, but if you are going to put your name on products that have always been around and are not lasting all of a sudden for the past 10 years, why would you take someones money for something that cannot be used for long.
I am really disappointed in these coffee pots.

I have a set of Faberware T QOZ millennium. Each Pot has rubber handles & they have all become loose & when pouring water into a calander we have burned ourselves several times. The handles move back & forth which is very hazardess & we would like new handles. Can we send out pots in or take them to a store in Kissimmee, FL?
A couple of us were burned while trying to pour the water from the pan due to the handles moving with no leverage left in them.

For the past 4 year this is the fourth farberware coffee pot that I had purchased and after one year they all stop working. This is a very expensive product and I can't afford to be buying a new coffee pot every year.

I have a 10 inch farberware skillet and love it. I have had it for many years, the handle can not be tightend anymore since I have done it so many times. I believe it has a lifetime warranty, all I want is my skillet replaced. please it is my favorite one. my husband even bought me a very expensive set of pots and pans and I still use my favorite one,
I wont be able to cook pretty soon without my favorite pan.

Farberware Can Opener--#83036 This undoubtly is the worse opener I have ever used and it has been this way since the first time I used it. I wanted a replacement for my old one and now I have reverted back to it since it will open cans better than yours. I hope you can send me a replacement and it would be greatly appreciated.
No damage except with my nerves!!!

We bought a Faberware non-electric Can Opener...Paid $8 and it lasted 4 Uses, less than a week...Very unhappy with the Plastic parts used to open a metal can...I will look at the next can opener, and not go on the name brand..
Had to stop making supper, go to a neighbors in the cold and borrow their can opener..

I received a Farberware 4-12 cup perculator back in 1999. The pot worked great for years--until one day it stopped. So about 2 years ago, I purchased another one. It is horrible! The coffee is weak and doesn't seem to perk correctly. I have called Farberware and have gotten nowhere. I thought they had a lifetime warranty? Doesn't seem like it anymore. Very disappointed.
coffee does not perk-very weak and tastes horrible most days.

I have read all the reports on Farberware and was surprised. About 27 yrs ago, my wife and I purchased a Farberware Electric Buffet Skillet, Model 344A. We paid $65 for it when we bought it. Today, 27 yrs later it is still working, and still fully functional. The only problem is that the ceramic disk on the legs is cracked in half but I found a place to get a new one to replace it. I must say that we were really impressed with the pan and how long it has lasted. It has been a mainstay in the house for all those years. It is used at least 1 to 3 times per week becuase it is so versatile. But I do understand what people are saying about getting parts. They are almost non existent. I have been really satisfied with the pan.

I took the dishes out of the box and cooked some noodles in it. It was about an hour later and i was as sick as ive ever been inn my life and then some. I will never use these dishes again.

I am a fourth generation Farberware gal. I have Pots and Pans, Electric fry pans, and have purchased, over the years at least 5 Coffee Pots, the Percolators. They all were great til the last 2. I bought a 12 cup perc, the old style. We are week-end coffee drinkers. Less than a year later, it no longer would get hot, nor would it perk right. Could not find a company to help me, not even on line.
But I gave Farberware the benefit of the doubt, chalked it up to a loss and went out and purchased a new 12 cup, sits on a base, programmable, pot. It cost me $97.00 Two years later, the top plastic knob on the top and cracked and broke off, twice. Now it doesn't perk, doesn't get hot, it's garbage. I can't find a base on line, try to talk to someone from the actual Farberware Co, good luck. A 97.00 dollar percolator should not be a throw away.
Farberware doesn't seem to care about their products anymore, nor do they seem to care about the customer.

I'm not writing to register a complaint, but to advise that the set of Faberware pots & pans we were given as a wedding gift 50 years, yes I said 50 years, is still with us, complete, and as good as new. This set served my wife and I and six children over these years.

I purchased a New Milennium Coffee pot four months ago. It worked well in the beginning. Then about 4 weeks ago the problems started. To get the pot to work you have to wiggle the cord. The coffee is so weak and barely warm.

I have 2 farberware electric coffee pots:2-4 cup and 8-12 cup. They are both under one year old. Initially, the pots worked well and the coffee was brewed as expected. Now, 6 months later, the coffee taste like tea and is apparently not brewing adequately. I have had farberware coffee pots for 37 years. The older pots appear to work better than the new ones. Unfortunately, I gave away the old pots.
financial loss for both coffee pots: approx. $150.00

I purchased a farberware cookware set from a Kohl's store that came with a mail in $20 rebate. I sent in the rebate in October and received the rebate check in early November. I deposited the check to my bank account on November 13, 2008 and on December 5, 2008 was notified that the rebate check from Farberware was stopped. Therefore I am stuck paying the $20 to he bank plus the bank fees.
Since I was actually notified by mail today, December 10, 2008 that on December 5, 2008 the bank withdrew $30 from my bank account and I had already had my bills set up to be paid and had just enough money in my accont to cover my bills I will now be charged an overdraft fee. This will end up costing me $70 or more once all is said and done because the rebate check was stopped. I am a college student and money is tight, I can't afford this kind of thing. Now I'm stressed out over having enough money next time I get paid to pay my bills since I have to pay for this mess. I can't find a phone number or anyone from Farberware online to contact about this.

I have purchased a Faberware cooking set with the suumption that I was to receieve a $30.00 rebate from the manufacturer. I mailed the form, the UPC from the box, and receipt.After 3 1/2 months, have received nothing.

We have used a Farberware Coffee Percolater #FCP280-A for several years with no complaints.The other day it shorted out with smoke, noise and flame. Fortunately it blew the breaker and did no damage other than smoke. Unfortunately we will not be gatting another!

Purchased a pan from Farberware and entitled to a $10 rebate. Completed the paperwork and received the $10 rebate. The rebate was deposited in a timely manner but received a letter from the bank that a stop payment was issued.

About 1-1/2 to 2 years ago, I purchased a Farberware can opener (non-electric). It was working just fine until about two months ago. At first, I thought it was possible the can I was trying to open was dented; I found, much to my dismay, that it wasn't the can I was trying to open, but the can opener itself. I tried to use it again today only with the same results. The gears don't want to mesh/work together; luckily, I had an old Good Cook can opener that I was able to use.
The damages sustained involve just the amount paid for the original purchase of the can opener; however, the worst damage will be to Farberware as I join other customers who indicate they will not purchase any more of their products.

My Farberware can opener seizes up and does not work anymore. I was looking for there e-mail address when I came across all of the complaints
Not sure it is worth my while to send the product back but will not ever buy Faberware product again.

I bought what I thought was a 10 Farberware nonstick skillet. I have a 10 skillet of another brand but was about 15 years old and I decided to buy a new skillet. I wanted it to replace my old skillet. I bought a Farberware 10 skillet and when I got home and set it next to my other 10 skillet, the Farberware was smaller looking.
So I measured the Farberware skillet and it was not a 10 skillet as the label said it was. It was actually measuring 9 1/2. I measured my old skillet that is a different brand and it measured 10, which is what size it is. The Farberware skillet was 1/2 smaller than it is supposed to be.
So I believe Farberware is deceiving the public by passing off a 9 1/2 skillet as a 10 skillet. Afterall, how many people go around measuring their skillets. I wouldn't normally but when I saw the two 10 skillets next to each other and one looked smaller and both are supposed to be 10 skillets, when I just had to measure them to see for myself. So I paid for a 10 skillet and didn't get a 10 skillet. Price was around $17.97 for it. So if they are passing off a 9 1/2 skillet for a 10 skillet, they make more money by charging for a 10 skillet and save the company 1/2 in aluminum and non-stick coating.

I recently attempted to boil some water using a Farberware pot with an aluminum bottom. The bottom of the pot melted from the heat of the burner, which was not even set to the highest heat setting. The molten metal coated the burner element and when we attempted to get it off the stove due to the fact that we feared a fire, hot molten metal dripped on the floor,causing permanent damage to the tiles.
Fortunately only the stove and the floor were damaged. This could have had disastrous consequences had the melted aluminum come in contact with someone's body or one of our pets. VERY serious injuries could easily have resulted. I have a pretty sizable local audience here on my radio program, and I will make it a point to warn my listeners about the dangers of Farberware.

I own a set of Farberware knives. One of the steak knives broke. It was my understanding they have a lifetime gaurantee.
I found an address to send the broken knife to so they can replace it. I am submitting this for the sole purpose of informing other people that have a similar issue.

I purchased a $100 coffee percolater. Within two years I replaced to glass top twice ($20) and now it no longer makes hot coffee. I cannot find an address to return the pot.

Like many other posts here, I had my first Farberware electric perculator for many years and loved it. The first replacement did not even work and I had to return it. When I took the second replacement from the box, I noticed it was considerably lighter than my old model. It is also MUCH noisier. I cannot even make coffee if anyone is sleeping because of the loud knocking and other noise that it makes. It is evident that they have cut corners and use lighter metal and cheaper parts resulting in a much poorer quality product.
Disappointment is the only real consequence and the fact that I have to wait to make coffee after everyone is awake because of the noise.

My first percolator last about 15 years. After the cord wore out I have since bought 3 in the past 3-4 years and all of them have stopped working.

Farberware is a great electric coffee percolator.
I buy one two to four cup Farberware every 4 years. Using same type of coffee maker for 41 years. Never had a problem with it. My grandmother first introduced me to Farberware coffee makers.

I am now on my 4th Farberware coffee percolator. The fist one lasted nearly 30 years. The last 3 work for a year of so and then only perk for a short time and do not get the coffee hot. The same thing has happened to all 3. Efforts to contact Farberware/Salton by email have not produced any response. The problem on all units seem to be the thermostat that regulates the water/coffee temperature shut off which should be a simple problem to fix or replace.

My 12 cup Farberware Model 412 perculator perks the coffee but it is weak and warm. It worked for about a year. The same thing happened with my last 12 cup Farberware percolator.

I purchased the 8 cup coffee perculater. It works good for 6 to 8 months then it begins to fail. It doesn't perc long enough. The coffee is weak and is only luke warm. I purchased a second one thinking that I may have a rare defective one the first time around but the same thing happened to the second pot. I'm very disappointed!
Lost about $100 on the two worthless pots.

I recently used a Farberware Meat Thermometer inserted in the thickest part of an oven stuffer roaster chicken. The chicken was baked as usual with an oven setting of 350F for about 2 hours. When I opened the oven door to inspect the chicken, I noticed that the glass window of the Farberware Meat Thermometer had shattered into hundreds of shards of glass. The sharp glass shards shattered into the chicken, vegetables and bottom of the oven. This episode ruined our chicken dinner, which I had to discard! As a result I had to purchase prepared food at a nearby caterer to feed my guests.
I had used the same Farberware Meat Thermometer many times before without incident. Apparently, this particular Farberware Meat Thermometer is defective. I would like to know what consideration Farberware can offer to compensate me for my out of pocket costs and additional trouble to clean up the broken Farberware Meat Thermometer glass shards on the oven floor?
Fortunately, no one suffered bodily injury from this event. However, the sharp glass shards from the meat thermometer shattered into the chicken, vegetables (approx. cost $20) and bottom of the oven. This episode ruined our chicken dinner, which I had to discard! I had to purchase prepared food at a nearby caterer to feed my guests at an additional cost of approx. $45. Total out of pocket loss: $65.

I am on my third Farberware coffee pot. Each one stops perking after approximately 1-1/2 minutes. They were used daily for approximately 6 months. I kept adding more and more coffee thinking the coffee was a weak blend but that is not the case at all.
Had to purchase new coffee pots each time.

I have 8, 10, 12" skillets. My 10 skillet is bowed in the middle. Anything you put in slides to the edges so you never get an even heat because nothing stays in the middle. Put up with this for quite awhile & finally instead of talking about complaining; I finally did.
Someone from Farberware called me and stated I must have used high heat and it's not under warranty and I should have taken it back to where I bought it. She just blew me off. Farberware skillets are not cheap. I hang my skillets and never use metal utensils or sprays. Am I nuts or don't companies back their products anymore. That is sad because I intend to NOT purchase Farberware anymore.

I purchased my farberware mixer a few years ago and paid about $100.00 for it. I went to turn it on to mix a cake and sparkes flew out the side of it. Needles to say it does not work. I started searching on line as to who to contact and nothing. I came across this web sight and thought I should also complain about not being able to get in touch with Farberware. It's a good thing my kitchen didn't go up in flames.
Well I now have to puchase a new mixer and this type does not come cheap. The free standing kind that has two size mixing bowls as well as two sets of beaters. It was suppose to be a heavy duty mixer that you could even make bread dough with. I just used it for cakes.

My granddaughter gave me a Farberware 4-cup coffee perculator for Christmas. I was really pleased because my mom and dad always had a Farberware pot. I had only used it about 10 times and the knob on the top of the pot came off. I've read complaint after complaint regarding this pot. Needless to say, as with everything I buy today, it was Made In China!
On the bottom of the pot there is a little sticker that says Q.C. I am assuming this stands for Quality Control....well, baloney! I wrote to the company and they said that China makes that particular product according to their (the companys) specification. I told them they better get a better quality control person.
My husband was able to rig up a knob for the top with a cork, so for right now it is doing the job, but we don't know for how long.

Where is my rebate for this product?

i bought a eight cupfarberware coffee pot and three times had to return it because it would not work seems that the electric plug that go`s into the pot is to loose bring back the old quality

3 months ago I purchased a Farberware 4 cup percolator from Macy's. This coffee pot was used in the morning only. Well, it just stopped, and I tried everything. Farberware had been a great product, however it has putting out poor production and have no service to reapir the product. Will not purchase any Farberware products again.

Have not received the $20.00 rebate on Farberware Coffee maker. Request and all paper work sent the LNT Rebate.
No refund or response to our previous requests.

I am a semi-disabled senior citizen. A couple of years ago I treated myself to a Farberware 4 cup percolator. Last week, I attempted to plug it in and, as it touched the outlet, there was a spark, I felt a shock, then fire came out of the cord where it meets the plug. I think this company should replace the cord but I cannot find an address for this company.
The physical damage was not long lasting; it caused a blister on my finger. However, I certainly cannot afford to throw out money and this coffee pot cost me about $45.00.

I bought a farberware coffee pot 2 years ago...it worked for about 3 months, then quit. I tried to get hold of Farberware, but to no avail. Phoned, e-mailed, wrote....nothing! The solution I came up with was....GO TO E-BAY AND BUY AN OLD FARBERWARE COFFEE POT MADE IN THE U.S.A I now have 2 of them, purchased extremely cheaply on e-bay, and they both make excellent coffee and work perfectly. One of them is dated 1960, the other is even older.
I didn't know if I should post this here, re: made in U.S., but I wanted to share with others my experience with Farberware.

I have a Farberware 310b electric skillet. Three of the legs have broken off. I can not find replacements anywhere. The skillet still works great--seems a shame to throw out a perfectly good skillet just because I can't find legs for it.
If I don't find any replacement legs, I will end up buying a whole new one. Very wasteful.

I received a 12 cup Farberware coffeepot for Xmas that has never brewed decent coffee. I mailed the product back to Farberware as per the website instructions but have never heard from them. Calling the 800 # I received nothing gobblegook. I have my USPS receipt which was sent to Farberware on 6-16-08. I vow never to purchase another Farberware product again until I get satisfaction from the company.

I own two Farberware coffee pots and I was burned twice when the cords on both units exploded (Shorted out). The incidents also blew my circuit breakers as they should but not not brfore burning me on my hands and face. Thought it was a fluke with the first pot until it happened again. I cannot find contact information for them.
Burns on hands and face. I suffered and treated it myself. I still have one defective cord on hand to prove it.

I bought a farberware coffee Pot at Filenes when they were in business I didn't have it for two months and the handle broke off, at that time they told me that coffee pots were not returnable, so my husband tried to fix it and it didn't work, after all these years that I finally had the money to buy another one and now I am without any.
Broken handle

2. A large casserole dish - on the second usage, at 375F for 40 minutes the dish cracked the entire length and width. The crack runs all the way through but again, nobody was injured.
I expect no recourse from Farberware as they only said they would replace it if I sent it back. I don't want it. I will never purchase Farberware again. We have an old set of Farberware pots and pans (32 years) which are of the highest quality and perfect in every way. The latest items were all made in China. My conclusion? Now Farberware sells shoddy merchandise made in a third world country with inept workers and not much quality control.

On 2/4/08 I received a postcard from Farberware stating they couldn't honor the rebate because it was not received within 14 days of the purchase date. I resubmitted the rebate with explanation that Penny's had given us the wrong rebate form. I have heard nothing from Farberware. I am disgusted with companies that offer rebates but don't honor them. Out $20. This product was purchased because of the $20 rebate. Another product would have been purchased. Farberware has left a bad impression with me.

I called reference a warranty fix on my Farberware percolator and Farberware-electric's never returned my message. I then found that fox-international did their repairs, but after talking to a rep and sending the money and part I was supposed to they refused to sen my percolator. Instead Bonnie wrote e-mails to me asking what I wanted, but her return address is bogus. No emails get through.
I am out $75 on a percolator and the $7.50 I sent for shipping of the percolator they refuse to send. I have copies of our e-mails and the message I get when I write back: Remote host said: 550 User Does Not Exist and at Bonnies email address my address is blocked: Remote host said: 571 mail relay is not allowed

bought a set to black handled knives from walmart in a butcherblock holder, the steak knives broke the fist time I use them. the problem is the spine of the knife is not set into the handle of the knife and it bends and breaks off in your hand, I have been cut by the handle and the blade when cutting into my steak.
physical damage to knifes and personal hard to my hand when using the product

About 3 years ago I bought a Farberware hand mixer, Model No.FSHM100, Made in China. From the very start it emitted a high pitched, ear splitting screeching sound when in use. I put up with the noise but didn't use it that often, often hand mixing so I wouldn't have to listen to the noise. Today I saw a Farberware, A Hanson Company, hand mixer, Model No. D2780 also Made in China at an estate sale and decided for $2 I would take a chance on it. It works great and is very quiet. The old one is now history and I will think twice about buying Farberware again and will definitely check on the return policy before I make a purchase.
Screeching sound did actually hurt my ears when in use.

This is the 3rd farberware electric coffee pot that I have had. The first one lasted forever and made a good pot of coffee. The second one did not last as long. ve only owned this last one a few years and now the coffee is lighter than tea. At first I blammed it on the coffee manufacturer so I went out and purchased a different brand but the result are the same. I found this sight and have read the exact same complaints from many others. I would like to know where I can complain in addition to here
I know have to purchase yet another coffee pot for another $60 but you can bet it won't be Faberware. I am a single mom with 2 jobs. People should beware

my 4 cup Farberware pot #0651M.it makes good coffee,but when u go to pour it, it doze not pour out even it runs down the side and its goining to go inside the botton and cause a short and burn out, plese help ne i love my pot.I tryed to put less water but did not help. Maybe the hole or the spout not right

I bought a 9-piece set of pots and pans by the name of Millennium for $282.16 on 12/27/93. These pans had a 20-year never stick surface guarantee against flaking off; just send them to the address in NY, and they will be replaced upon inspection. So I sent 4 of the 9 piece set in, via UPS Brown--and to find out UPS brought it back to me with the package marked Address sent to is OUT OF BUSINESS. Now where do I go to get this warranty? I'm not impressed; and if there is a class action suit, please count me in. This will be the last time I purchase pots and pans for the price I paid for these only to find out the company's crooked. Be leary if it sounds too good! I truly believe it is getting to be a world of more crooks than saints!

i purchased a 10 x 15 inch roasting pan last october. I seldom use it and it is now peeling at 2 corners. Can you please help me out?
The new pan is useless now.

While using toaster oven approx. one year ago, it spontaneously started on fire. Fortunately, we were nearby and extinguished it. At Farberware's instruction we returned the item and they replaced it with similar item. Yesterday, March 7th, the same thing happened. Again, we were fortunate enough to extinguish the flames before serious damage was done.
Smoke damage to kitchen cabinets in both cases.

This is the second Farberware percolator that has quit on me in the first year of life. It perks but the coffee looks like tea and the grounds aren't even very wet. I asked the store where I bought it and they said they have had many complaints in reference to the coffee pots working. They gave me a company number and no one answers. I am done. These were expensive coffee makers and they are the least user friendly company I have every dealt with. They need an easy send back/repair website with reasonable repair costs.

I have a Farberware FSU236 coffee urn, never failed. It is only used about 4 times a year because it is for parties (36 cups). This week I had a party, and it just did not go on. There are no fancy parts inside, just wires at the bottom, something I thought an electrical repair person could fix. I went on line to Farberware, they do not have a service dept. You have to email the address given. I did, and received a reply from applica consumer affairs and a phone number. I called the phone number and it does not exist. They said they do not have service centers for repairs.
To buy a new one costs upwards of $150, but I would not choose Farberware.

I called and advised I purchased the superfast coffee maker about 45 days ago, and it's stopped working. It's not brewing the coffee; for some reason its not reaching the level to make it it come out not like tea water, and the coffee grounds are not all wet. I spoke with an Amanda who advised there was nothing they can do. I gave the model number and sought advice without a receipt; they do nothing. So I asked what if you have a receipt? "Oh there's nothing we can do either." Basically what they're telling me is I'm cheated out of 100 bucks.
I also advised I would return the broken coffee pot since it's no good to me. Did not matter--they don't want it. Who would--it does not work! I wanted to speak with supervisor, which I did; and she confirmed the same answers. Her name is Tina from Cleveland, OH. They will not give the last names which is a total trip because I guess they're afraid of being sued. I also have another pot that's older, and it is now doing the same thing. Don't buy them; they're a risk and probably a fire risk as well since they don't work properly. I would never buy any of their products again; however, I am going to write a letter to the address and make a complaint in writing.
All parties with this pot or similar ones doing the same thing--we need to go to the store and complain. We will see how quick they take them off the shelf. Stores don't want complaints or like them. It's like buyer beware because they also advise it does not matter how long you have it or when you purchased it.

I was told that I couldn't receive my $20 rebate because my receipt was dated after the qualifying period. My receipt is dated on the exact day that this promotion was offered. I have been denied twice.

my church bought at least four 55-cup farberware perculators. they were used for about a year once a week and were then ready for a sixty dollar repair - which is about the cost of a competitor's discounted pot. we now have a row of farberwares decorating the closet at the church.

I purchased a set of cooking pots and pans at jc penny with a $30.00 rebate along with a 3pc set of frying pans with a $5.00 rebate, each of the rebates were sent along with a separate sales receipt and upc codes in 2 separate envelopes. I have not received any rebate yet. The purchases were made in Nov. 2007.

I bought the Farberware Affiniti Cookware Set and Open Stock for Christmas last year. As I was cooking, I noticed more and more black specs coming from the bottom of the pan. I looked carefully and it's actually parts of the bottom of each pot chipping! I looked at the other pans from the same set, and same thing! This is VERY unsafe, and disgusting. I could have gotten sick! When I e-mailed the company, they basically told me in an e-mail it was my problem!

I have a large skillet that I have used about 8 months that now has a round bottom. I had a griddle that developed a round bottom after 3-4 years of use and I guess that should have been my first clue.
I was very happy with a sauce pot that I purchased 12-15 years ago. I have been extremely careful with my latest skillet; hand washing only, never adding cold liquids until completely cooled, etc.

My husband just bought me a Farberware multi-slicer, and I just tried it. It would not even slice a cucumber, and when I checked the box for instructions to be sure I was doing it properly...and I was...it went flying. I nearly broke two of my fingers hitting something in the process. I can do nothing with it and am going to return it. My two fingers still feel numb from the thing flying, and the only things the grater/slicer nearly sliced, were my fingers.

I was give a 42 piece service for 8 of Edgebrook Stainless Steel flatware made by Farberware as a gift. The set is beautiful with scrolling and inset marbles on the ends. It was used a couple of times and the marbles fell out of two forks. I would like to return it but I don't know where it was purchased. The person who gave me the set has expired.

I purchased a Farberware 8 cup coffee pot because I had heard in the past that they lasted a long time. I could never really afford such an expensive pot but, I saved money and purchased it. I had it for 4 months, and it stopped working. My mistake was that I didn't keep my receipt. I was under the impression that I would have it for years. Then I found out what happened. Farberware sold its name to a company that manufactures the coffee pot in China. So if you want a good Farberware coffee pot get the old ones. Made in the old USA.
I lost the $60.00 I spent and spent $20.00 on a vintage Farberware coffee pot made in USA. I have for a year now, a great pot. The coffee pots that are made in China are useless. Don't spend your money on them.

In November, 2006 I purchased a Farberware programmable coffeemaker for close to $100. The heating element stopped working in July, 2007. Since it was under warranty they replaced the coffeemaker. Now it is 4 months later and the new coffeemaker's element has stopped working! I was told by customer service that consumer reporting sites such as this are not to be believed, and that they support their products. They went on to tell me that my coffee pot is no longer under warranty. I explained that the original had been replaced 4 months ago....They told me the warranty only covers their products from the original purchase date.
So I have no coffee maker and will never purchase a Farberware product again! I paid close to $100 for a coffeepot that can now be placed in the trash. They did say that I could send my coffeepot to them for a $39.99 assessment and would be told what repairs could be made for whatever additional charges would be determined. What kind of product support is that? After reading the many reviews of Farberware coffeemakers, I join the ranks of dissatisfied customers!

I purchased a Farberware Deluxe Multi-Slicer for my wife, she wanted a mandolin slicer. She tried the slicer for making her scalloped potatoes and ham, and said the slicer was useless or worse. She said the slicer sliced the potatoes paper thin, and it took her longer to slice half a potato with it than it took her to slice three potatoes using a knife. I have always felt that Farberware was a good brand in the kitchenware field, but this slicer has disabused me of that idea. There is a procedure for sending defective merchandise back for adjustment, but it does not, apparently, apply to just a lousy piece of garbage, and the slicer is not worth the postage required to send it from Arizona to New Jersey.
The loss of whatever we paid for this piece of garbage.

We have purchase 2 faberware coffee pots in the past year; all on the recommendation of family members. The pots work great at first but after time only produce coffee that is weak as tea and lukewarm.
We purchased both coffee pots for approximately $40.00

I emailed Farberware from the booklet that came with the coffee pot, Farberware Millenium 12 Cup. I bought it last Nov. 3, 2006, and this Nov. 3, 2007 it stopped working. The company said it is out of warranty, and they can't do anything for me. The money I paid for what I thought was quality merchandise is gone with the wind. I have pots and pans from Farberware that have worked very well, so I thought all of the products would be of the same quality. I was mistaken. I am now shopping for a new coffee pot from another manufacturer.

I have a large Farberware coffee urn which, under careful, infrequent use has stopped turning on/heating. I was told when I got it that it was excellent quality, last a lifetime, etc. thus the VERY HIGH price ($179,00)! What a scam!! When I called the customer service department (googled it), they just gave me the phone number of a repair service that charges another $60-80.00 plus shipping to fix it! I told him the dump would get it before he would. SHAME ON FARBERWARE!!
Loss of $179.00.

This product does not work. Instead of grinding garlic it functions like a magic trick wherein all the garlic disappears and never reappears, crushed, into the clear container.
This is a small non electrical gaget priced under 10$ but it is a complete waste of money, and I thought someone else might like to know... It would be more appropriate for babies with playdo than as a serious kitchen utensil. I was disappointed. I brought because of the name Farberware, which used to have good associations. Now I not only lost e.g. 10$, but any faith in that company.

bought a set of knives and anytime they sit in water they rust.i thought your name was quality? i'll never buy any farberware product again.

My complaint is the same as all the rest Out 50.00 for the coffee pot and countless mornings I have read it does not perk the coffee it only makes a noise like perking then when you pour its clear or barely colored water. Only 6 months old. I'll never buy another farberware product again.
My millennium fry pan is nothing but a rough feeling pan like it was gouged with something -- this was the expensive lifetime warranty one. never again will I buy their products

The Farberware Inc. automatic stainless steel percolator Model Nos. FCP240A, 280A, 412A has a serious safety design. The coffee pot body is attached to the base by a single screw that goes through a plastic washer at the base and then goes through a nut.
The base of the coffee pot fell away from the body of the pot when the plastic washer broke.

My complaint is about the Farberware coffee pots I bought. Model number FSCM200M. It is a dual carafe coffeemaker. Soon after purchasing the left side started making alot of noise and now takes twice as long to run through, compared to the other side. It seems to be the way of the world these days. Products are poorly made or made to throw away within a year. What happened to the good old days when a company took pride in what they made?

Less than a month ago I bought a Farberware stovetop espresso maker. Within the first few uses the handle became loose. Because of the poor/cheap design there is no way to tighten it (it is just a piece of plastic wedged into a hole).
Unfortunately, because I was moving across the country, I have no proof of purchase and according to other people's complaints it would not be worth the effort of trying to get my money back. I will never buy a Farberware product again.

I had a Farberware Percolator for 35 years. I purchased a new one; it lasted 4 weeks. It went completely dead. I returned it and the next one started perking tea about one year after I purchased it. I called Farberware and they would not fix or replace it. They did suggest a replacement part (the stem that the water perks through). It still doesn't perk a decent cup of coffee. I'm totally disgusted. Farberware just isn't what it used to be.

We purchased a $60 12-cup coffee maker from Faberware and it is by far the most expensive and WORST coffee maker we have ever purchased. This so called Top of the line, black and stainless steel model can not pour a cup of coffee without half of the pot on the counter. When filling the coffee pot, they left less then an inch to pour in 12 cups and because the coffee crafe already makes a mess, this make for more problems.
The pot has never brewed a whole 12 cups, 10 at the most. The rest of the water just sits in the bottom of the brewer. The engineering on this machine is horrible. They obviously don't use their own coffee pots, they definetly don't do any kind of quality assurance. After reading all of the other postings, I'm concerned that there may be no way to resolve this outside of taking it back within a day or two of the purchase.

We received a post card back informing us that the submission was not postmarked within the 15 day of the purchase date. Now let me explain why this date was not honored. We had no mail service or pickup of mail for 10 days due to the horrendous roads, conditions, and transportation issues mail even leaving DIA Now all of the required information wasw submitted and ther is no way to provide duplicate information.
We were not provided the mail in rebate due to uncontrollable, unforeseen circumstance due to the Act of God regarding the weather for Colorado during those weeks. We just want our rebate!

heating elements burned out in less than one year for each of seven farberwear electric coffee pots. l can not find replacement parts. We only make one pot of coffee per day.

I have what i thought was a very nice set of farberware pans. I don't think their so nice anymore because the black non stick coating has peeled off. I see I am not the only person with the same experience. Will never buy or recommend Farberware again.

We got a lovely, large Farberware coffee/hot-water urn for our wedding. It never got the water as hot as we would have expected or preferred, but we used it about once a week during the winter, and it had pride of place on our sideboard. After two years, it stopped working completely. I opened the bottom to see if perhaps a simple loose wire needed reconnection, and saw that all the parts were burned to a crisp in there. Have no idea where to go to fix it.

throttle - accelerator cable stuck on ford escape causing accident. there has been a recall on this. I had the vehicle in the shop to repair this before the accident and recall and they said they could not duplicate the problem.
accident caused driver head injury, etc.

My wife and I got a Farberware coffee perculator for a wedding gift 40 years ago. It is still working. Based on our experience with this product, we have, over the past five years or so, recommended Farberware coffee makers to friends and relatives (six in all). We bought two of them for ourselves as well. NONE of them lasted more than a year before they failed to adequately heat the coffee or perculate it thoroughly. The newer products certainly don't measure up to the older ones. I contacted farberware in writing about these problems but did not even receive a response from this rude, uncaring company. We are finished with them, and we make sure everyone we come into contact with knows about our experience. We even tell people we see looking at them in the stores to beware.

I purchased a toaster oven at Linens N Things in early May. I completed the necessary paperwork, but didn't enclose the proof of purchase. When told it was necessary I sent that to the address given to me. Everything then was accurately and completely done in order to receive the $20 Visa Debit Card offered as the rebate. I still have not received it and have been told it is being processed. .
It is taking time to follow up on this and I don't like the feeling of being cheated.
