Farberware Reviews

I purchased a Farberware Baking Pan with very specific sizes on it. I received this item and it is clearly FALSE ADVERTISING!! Pictures attached! I called customer service at Farberware and he just gave me lip service and aggravated run around! I stated to him it is your companies packaging and measurement!!!!

Bought a set of Farberware steak knives. Cost was reasonable and thought I was making a good sound purchase based on their reputation. From the first washing the knives started rusting on the edges. Then cutting meat, 2 knives snapped at the handles. Truly not the quality I thought Farberware was known for years ago, and will not be purchasing their products in the future.

Terrible Quality of knives. Bought 2 sets of four. Two broke in less than a month. First one snapped at the handle cutting a cold butter cube. Second one snapped when cutting an apple in half. Thankfully I was not injured! Told me to send them to receive warranty replacements. Spent money on shipping and was never taken care of.

Farberware 23 piece classic knife armor set with block! Don’t buy it!!! It is not dishwasher safe! It rusts first wash, and they are anything but sharp!!! Not to mention, if you want to use the warranty, you have to ship it all the way to the USA and it costs more to mail it! Oh ya that’s your cost too! And they send you the same set that rusts first time in the dishwasher!!! Buyer Beware!!!

Absolutely horrible!!!. I bought a set of pots to replace my 20 year old ones, and every single one of them looks like trash after a single use and hand wash. The bottom of each pot is covered in stains and speckles and the metal is discolored. My 20 year old pots look brand new next to the “new ones”. It is apparent they are using the cheap materials, so the quality is the product is the lowest you can imagine. In addition, they crafted their return policy so you can’t return them unless they are unused and in original package. How should I know they’re awful before using them? It is so disappointing from the brand that used to value quality over profit. Don’t waste your money.

Bought a new spatula. Says dishwasher safe...but it's not. Small plastic Farberware emblem popped off in the dishwasher, slipped through the pump strainer, and messed up the pump. Expensive service call.

I had this coffee maker less than a year. Used it once a day for morning coffee and it quit working in less than a year. I am so disappointed. It was expensive and now I have to find a different one. I am furious. The least you can do is make a product that last a year for a once a day use. It simply refuses to turn on. Checked the cord and outlet so it has has to be the heating coil.

Have a stove-top pressure cooker and can now find no gasket for it. Contacted customer service and they first said they didn't have it. Then suddenly they did, but sent a size that didn't fit. Then when I asked for the correct size they put me off. For months. Then they told me the model was the brand, though the cooker clearly says Farberware on it and I sent them a photo to prove it.

Farberware battery operated can opener purchased from Walmart is junk. Not only does it go through batteries like a vampire, it stopped opening cans in less than 3 months. It runs as always, but no longer cuts the can rim.

I have a Farberware black (not metal) spatula, kind of patty-shaped. It wasn't as heat-resistant as it should have been, for something that's meant to flip hot things in a hot pan. The edges are melted and peeling; surely some of the material has contaminated the food, hence my body. :(

Steer clear of Farberware. It's decent kitchen stuff, but if you have an issue they will NOT respond to your emails. They sell you things and just walk away. I contacted them three times about an issue with a spatula that was less than 6 months old -- zero response.

Microwave and Customer Service. I purchased the Farberware FM09SSE microwave in August 2020, expecting quality from such a well-known brand. Unfortunately, the interior of the microwave began peeling and deteriorating, and pieces of the coating ended up in my food. This raised serious health and safety concerns for me.

Bought a Farberware Masterclass Premium 6" Omelette Pan. I'm very disappointed in the design. The non-stick works as advertised, however the handle is made of plastic and burns and emits a horrible smell. I checked the approved usage and it says I can use it with gas. Even at the lowest temperatures and paying attention to make sure the handle is as far away from the flame as possible it burns. Skip this crap.

While I love the way this 4qt pot heats up fast and cooks well, the handles get so dangerously hot. One could get burned very badly by grabbing the side handles without hotpads! I assumed the handles were heat-safe (not for in oven, just stovetop).

I bought the 20 piece pots & pans. They are horrible. I cooked in the frying pan & it turned white on the bottom. The cookie sheet that came with the set had a chip & was already getting rusty. The pots had a white ring around it after washing. Farberware used to be the best but now I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's garbage. Not worth the money.

Went with Farberware soup ladle rather than cheaper one. Much heavier nameplate handle, flies up into air when you let go of it. Ladle part light as feather. Not the company it used to be. Already threw out cardboard wrapping so couldn't return in. Customer support not interested, just willing to send me the same. Would only run up my total cost by spending money only to get back same item.

I purchased the Faberware 2-4 Cup Percolator, Stainless Steel, FCP 240 on March 11, 2022, via Amazon. I have used Faberware coffee percolators for many years and have an 8-12 cup percolator that is over 40 years old. I really like this product and am disappointed that this coffee pot purchased only 17 months ago is not working. The problem started two days ago. When the coffee pot is plugged in, the GFCI-ground fault circuit interrupter trips and shuts off the power as soon as the coffee pot is plugged in. I have tried using different outlets, but that did not fix the problem either. Amazon was unable to offer me a replacement. I shipped the coffee pot to the Meyer Corp address. I am unable to contact anyone via customer service with over one hour on hold. I will never purchase another Farberware product. Do not waste your money on a product that does not stand by its name.

The ounce setting no longer works properly, if you set it for 12 oz, you get approximately 5 oz, if you set it for 14 oz you get approximately 6 oz. In order to get a 12 oz cup of coffee I am now required to set it at 6 oz, and then 14 oz. At times when I follow that procedure I still only get about 10 oz. The next time I shop for kitchen appliances/products I don't believe that Farberware will be a product of choice.

While drying my newly purchased vegetable peeler and spatula for non stick pans I noticed the non stick coating on the spatula is peeling off and the blade on the vegetable peeler does not work. I called Lifetime brands which is the company that handles this for Farberware and was told that the items will be replaced after I ship them to New Jersey. I must pay for shipping. I would have given a ZERO but 1 star was the lowest! Not the company it used to be.

The 2-4 cup percolator kept tripping my circuit breaker. So I purchased another. Still having same issue with brand new one and now only 6 months after purchase the handle has cracked! My mom has one herself only 4 months old and has a cracked handle also! Definitely not worth the aggravation!
