I ordered a new Farberware coffee pot as a gift in Dec. 2010. The pot stopped working in Sept. 2011! I would like a replacement free of charge from this company.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
After a few months, the small cup Farberware coffee pot does not heat up coffee . This is the third Farberware small coffee pot I have purchased in the past couple of years. It seems Farberware is manufacturing a defective product. I have friends who have also had the same problem with their Farberware coffee pots.
I love my Farberware coffee maker. I purchased the 8 cup and had it for 8 years. It gave away so I bought a new one. The new one worked for maybe a week. I bought the smaller one. It works fine. The larger one sounds like there is something broke inside. I looked closer at it and it's like there is something missing with the plug on base. The plug is inside the base and not able to connect to electricity. Is there a recall on this that I am not aware of? Let me guess. It is made in China and the quality of USA is gone.
I have lived at this address for six years in October and this is my fourth Farberware perk coffee pot. I just bought one yesterday, Sept. 19, 2011 at Bed Bath and Beyond and paid $69.99 and was so excited to have a hot cup of coffee this morning...and I had my first cup. The second cup was lukewarm and after pouring it, it started to heat up again. Now this is not supposed to happen, it should stay hot.
I am not happy and taking it back today and buying another brand. This is just ridiculous to keep buying a product that keeps breaking and not heating! Farberware, do something about your product. My first original coffee pot I purchased about 15 years ago lasted for nine years. Your product is not like it used to be.
I made a pot of coffee this morning. I poured my 1st cup. I didn't get 2 sips when the coffee pot caught on fire. The plug that goes into the base of the pot had flames. And the rubber on the cord was melting and pouring off smoke and fumes. I unplugged the cord from the wall socket. I had to open all the doors and bring fans in to get the smoke out of my home. The counter is burnt and will need to be replaced. What scares me is that sometimes I will go outside to feed my animals and get my mail, which is a about 5 minutes. If I had not been right there, my kitchen would have caught on fire. I am sending Farberware the coffee pot, but not before I have a certified electrician come and look over everything. This is the 2nd coffee pot I have purchased from Farberware. The 1st one just quit after 7 months. Be careful. This was scary.
I have been using Farberware percolators for over 30 years. I gave one to each son (4) when they moved out. I loved my Farberware pot. It made the best coffee, and each one I bought lasted several years of daily use.
I bought the first new pot in 3 years a couple of months ago. It lasted less than a week, then tripped the ABF switch each time I tried to use it. Furthermore, after a couple of washings, the coffee basket discolored in streaks and the stainless steel finish dulled to pewter.
I have used these pots for years, as stated above. I wash and dry after each use, clean periodically with Dip It and pride myself on a beautiful shiny pot. I returned this 4-cup pot immediately to Belk Department store for a refund of $49.99 + tax (and this was on sale!).
It is obvious to me that you have sent your coffee pot business offshore to be replicated in a subpar manner using inferior products, in order to save money. It looks like a Farberware coffee pot, feels like one, smells like one, but it's an imposter. The item is useless.
The original Farberware owners would turn in their graves if they could see how their reputation for quality has been destroyed in less than three years. I read all the reviews. Made in America is something to be proud of, please.
My sister-in-law bought a coffee pot and the coffee does not pour out of the spout. My husband bought a coffee pot and it perks for two minutes. The coffee is like flavored water. We are a family of Farber Ware coffee pots. It's a shame that we are now going to have to go to drip makers. For the price we have paid for these coffee makers, they should last for a long time.
The large coffee urn has quit perking coffee or getting the water hot. We have used it a dozen times maybe. The one year warranty is up. The company does not offer repair or the name of a company that might repair a small appliance. or a company on the internet where I could get repair parts.
This coffee pot was purchased for $100 by our Ladies Group at church. We do not have that kind of money to reinvest in another coffee urn, that might not last through 12 uses. We took very good care of the pot, so it is not suffering from negligence! We are willing to get it repaired, however we can't find any businesses that do this.We are so upset over this. We are responsible for spending the money that comes from fundraisers for our parish kitchen. Let me tell you it takes a lot of cakes to bake to make enough money to buy a coffee urn this big!
Bought their 10-cup drip coffeemaker. After about 90 days it stopped working It would not pump water from the reservoir to the grounds holder, but would heat up to a dangerous level. Outside of the fact that I'm out about $30 for a worthless coffee maker, If we hadn't disconnected this thing though, it could have started a fire.
Over the past 2 years, I have purchased 4 Farberware coffe pots at the Farberware outlet in Birc Run, Mich. (2 4-cup and 2 12-cup). I gave one of each size to my daughter-in-law and kept the others. They worked great at first but now (all 4 of them) do not seem to be perking long enough to make a good cup of coffee. It looks like weak tea and is barely warm.
We checked our instruction booklet and made sure the disc at the bottom of the insert post was loose but it has made no difference. I purchased these products on the reccomendation of my sister-in-law who has had hers for 35 years. While vacationing in Las Vegas, I purchased a 5th percolator for my niece but have not yet heard if she is having any problems.
Every time we purchase a Farberware Coffeepot it breaks after a couple of months of use. We bought the New Milennium Farberware Coffeepot in the springtime and the spout on the top came off. It was not handled roughly and this should not have dislodged.
Received a Farberware percolator for wedding gift. Not even used for one year (less than 3 times a week) and the coffee pot just quit working.
Purchased Farberware percolator June, 2002; not even one year and coffee pot does not work, does not perk coffee; very disappointed with this product; purchased Farberware because of reputation.
