Farberware Reviews

Have used this cookware for many years. From the first time I purchase my set in the early 2000s and as to this day I am still using them and they have not proved me wrong. The cookware last longer than I expect it to, I always buy Farberware as a gift for family and friends. Very satisfied with my set.

I love the Farber cookware. They are hard to find in smaller cities with prices spiking without notice. I recommend them for all of my daughters/friends b/c they make food tastier & cooking easier. The pans are easier to clean, hold up under cooking conditions needed for large family dinners.

Don't usually need oil. They need to find a cleaner for the outside, no matter what you use- it takes off the paint or whatever the colored part of it is. Price was very good with my Kohls coupons but the company didn't make good on the $10 rebate they promised me.

We used to swear by Farberware, until about 1999, when we noticed anything stainless, was getting stains all over them, and then they began to actually break, though prior to that time, we never had a thing rust or break, I am sure they are being made in foreign country now, where they are using substandard materials to manufacture them. I would stay away from this brand, because it manufactures inferior products now.

I have some Farberware pans that I have had for over 15 years. They have some stains on the bottom from my former gas stove but the inside is still as good as when new, and the pans cook evenly and thoroughly. When I need a new piece, I look for it on sale.

I purchased a Farberware pot and pan set a few years ago, and within a few months one of the frying pans became scratched. The warranty had expired, and the manufacturer did nothing. I would not recommend purchasing their products.

Farberware guaranteed I had from several years. Replaced all the cookware that were Worn out, I enjoy all their products, I still use the cookware for more than 20 years. Great products!!!! I Will continue to buy their great products, I use the bakeware for my cake and fluted molds AND cupcakes.

I bought a Farberware stockpot four months ago. I used it every night for approximately three hours each night, with 20 minutes of "high" stovetop heat and then the remainder of the time on "low." I washed it every morning. One evening, inexplicably, the handle to the lid popper right off. The metal holding together the plastic handle and the glass lid appeared to have just corroded away. The inexpensive price attracted me to the piece in the first place but caveat emptor.

I buy Farberware for everything from spatulas to toasters. They aren't the highest end of products, but they are user friendly and last for a long while. The line of pans I have I have been using them for 9 years and they show minimal wear. Durable when needed! I love my stockpot in particular. I'm a big soup maker and as long as I have oil to keep things from sticking, it's perfect.

I've had this set for 25 years and it's still great. It still looks great and cooks evenly. The handles are safe and cool to the touch while on the high heat. These are my favorite for cooking because I can depend on them for even heat distribution and they're easy to use. The handles fit my hands and are made for a secure grip.

The product Farberware in my experience is very inexpensive. I have been using it for years and my Mother is the person that introduced me to it. They're non stick and easy to clean. Also the brand name is well known out of Walmart. And I would highly recommend it.

We bought a set of copper lined, stainless pots and pans from Farberware. We were very impressed with the glass lids and the weight of the pans themselves. Often people try to cook in stainless steel on high temperatures. This causes the foods to stick to the pan and sometimes burn. If used correctly, these pans work very well. They clean easily, heat very evenly and come up to temperatures quickly. I would buy the company's pans when these are used up, but from the look of things, it won't be for quite a while. Good quality, good price!

33 years ago we received two Farberware pans for our wedding that we are still using and still look like we just bought them. I have gone through so many different pans and have not been able to find any that compare to these two. I've had a handle get loose on them and just tighten the screw and they are good to go. I recommend these pans to people all the time. I haven't been able to find comparable pans, but I haven't searched very hard either.

Love the Color and the weights of the products. Very durable and not too heavy. Easy to wash. Easy to store while stacking. Easy to replace one price at a time. Always on sale at most stores. I will continue to purchase this product.

I bought a whole set of Farberware pots and pans back in 1975. I was engaged to be married so I told my mom to be on the look out for my pots. She called me at work and said my pots arrived. I asked if she could unpack and wash them. She laughed and said "do you want me to cook in them too?" I said, "Yes, because they really are for you!" She was so thrilled. Well, she passed away in 1985 and my dad gave me those pots. I still use them today. They are great pots and have many memories attached to them. One day I will pass them down to my daughter...but not yet!!

I've been using the same pots for 39 years and they still look new. Any burn marks remove easily with Bon Ami. It is very safe; I can use all types of utensils when cooking with it and the pots heat evenly with no hot spots. The handles are still sturdy and heat resistant.

I've had my Farberware for 44 years and it still looks really good. The pots and pans cook evenly and you get used to them very fast. Mine are the stainless steel with aluminum clad bottoms. I can still make the stainless steel shine with a little Brillo.

I have purchased a good bit of cookware over my years (57 y/o) and I just hate cheap pots and pans. Before I retired at 43 I traveled a lot, in fact too much but I always seemed to have to give my wares away but I always purchased “good stuff”. Farberware failed me terribly, it’s for the most part made from low grade aluminum and formed in what’s called a punch press giving it its particular shapes. Drop one and you have a pot or pan now out of round and will not set level on the stove. The nonstick Teflon coating is just as bad, I found that after about ten or twelve hand or dish washings the coating begins to peel away now making it perfect for the trash, I don’t know about you but I’m not eating Teflon or anything else not naturally produced or grown for the human body. I typically spend about $500. For a good set but this time was a quick move and I per se, paid for it by spending down. I’ve since trashed them.

The Faberware pots and pans were an economical options in cookware. They lasted about a year using gas stove and synthetic spatula to not scratch the surface. The cleaning was easy in the first few months but over time the food started to stick more and more until unusable.

I love this particular brand because of the price and the products are really nice especially the bakeware and air fryer. They don't rust out and the cake pans bake very good. I also have utensils by them which I love using. I have not purchased the cookware yet but I definitely plan on it.

I like the way the heat distribution is even on the aluminum-clad series pans. They heat up evenly and cook the food evenly. Also, the stainless steel will clean up easily as well. The handles do not get hot to the touch.

My Farberware pans are 37 years old. My SOLE complaint with them are the handles. They are disintegrating. My pans are used almost every day. They have withstood the test of time, two boys, and two moves across the country, except for the handles.

I have had the same Farberware pots and skillets for over 30 years. I chose the products without non-stick coating because I don't need to be concerned with the coating getting scratched or with using only certain types of utensils and cleaning tools. I find it extremely easy to wash my pots & pans using a soap pad when needed. These items are very reliable and can last a lifetime.

I received my Farberware in 1985 as a wedding gift. I still have the complete set and it functions great and looks great! My set contained 2 small 1 quart pots, the double boiler, the large saute pan and all lids.

This cookware cooks evenly and the pots and pans clean up easily and do not scratch. There's enough different sized pots and pans to chose from for all needs. They cook very easily. You can depend on the quality of metal used in the pans to cook the food evenly.

I just bought my second set. The first one is several years old and my daughter wanted them. From one generation (my mom bought me the first) to the next! I have used these for a couple years and I would highly recommend the brand. Easy clean up and evenly cooks. Recipes turn out great!

Pots & pans are not too heavy, (have arthritis) & wear well! I have some of my late Mothrt’s pots & they are still in good shape (I am 68!)! Only negatives are handles come loose sometimes & Farber’s Holocaust history, which does bother me, being Jewish...

The nonstick finish could use better quality control, as food still attaches itself to the cookware. I use wooden and nylon utensils so nothings scratched, but food tends to stick. Also, Ive had two pots/pans warp under normal stove top use.

I have purchased Farberware multiple times and would recommend using the products. Price point and material used are in the affordable and reasonable area. I would suggest trying the utensils and pots the next time you make a purchase.

They have good products and good prices which fits most peoples pocketbook. They have been around long enough to prove themselves. There are many different locations and have proven themselves in most parts of our country. If a product fails they generally stand behind their products.

The pans are reliable and last a long time. The nonstick finish remains intact as long as you follow the instructions. Best not to use on electric stove as it seems to affect the non stick coating. Fried eggs work really well and using water instead of oil works better to get even cooking.

I have used this brand and others and none of them last long. I can't afford the higher quality ones but I get tired of warping, scratches, loose handles, hard to clean, uneven heating. I would love to get some good pots and pans that last longer than a year or two.

Very sturdy and will last thru the years. Cleans very easily and I would recommend it highly. You can easily find it to purchase and the prices are very reasonable. It withstands dents and does not show wear..

I got my set of stainless steel pots and pans 43 years ago as a wedding present, still looks good. I use bar keeper's cleanser to bring back the shine. These pans have not warped and handles still good.

Farberware is simply a brand I can trust for high quality affordable cookware. While it is true I have replaced my Farberware non-stick frying fans over the years, I still have the my original Farberware pots and pans set my mom purchased for me as a wedding gift back in 1977. Best company ever!

This blue set claims to have a life long warranty... The first time I used the 9inch pan the paint came off of the pan on, my glass top stove the temperature was not on the highest setting and the larger pan did not do this on high even. They are lightweight and heat up faster than my old one.

Farberware needs to get rid of Teflon pots and pans and go to exclusive use of ceramic or other safe materials. The Teflon on their pots and pans flakes off over time and seeps into our food. We need better non-stick options.

Good pots, heat even, don't leak, stay shiny, easy to clean, comfortable handles, good fitting covers, some glass covers, good designs, last long, good quality stainless steel, handles stay cool...

Farberware has been around for decades and their quality is at the very highest level. I have an electric skillet and wok that are over 30 years old and still use them today. I'll keep buying the brand and highly recommend.

It is not fancy or stylish or a well known chief's brand but it is reliable, cooks uniformly, and is easy to clean. It is a solid workhorse and I'm very happy with it. I would recommend this cookware to anyone wanting basic cookware.

Farberware cookware are durable, easy to use and quick to heat cookware, the product finishing is outstanding. The cookware are stylish, elegant in which you can cook and serve too which saves time.

Great cookware. Last a lifetime. Easy to clean. The heavy bottom distributes best evenly for stick free cooking. These pots make a wonderful wedding or house warming gift. I love Farberware. There are so many sizes and pieces, Farberware has a pot, pan, or kitchen knife for every need.

I find this cookware very reliable and well made. It's always the first piece of cookware I go for. I have never burned or overcooked anything in one of these. If you get the opportunity to own one of these fine well made items you will not regret it.

I do like stainless steel, as I feel it is not dangerous to our health. The pots and pans are all sizes that I use often, and they all are good on gas or electric stoves. The design of the pots and pans is very good, and they are a delight to look at when cooking. Stainless steel always keeps its shine. The pots are so sturdy, and easy to clean, that they could be kept for a lifetime, and then handed down to your children.

I have had Farberware cookware for most of my adult life. The value is affordable. The food cooks evenly. There is a red spot in center of pans that lets you know when the temperature is ready to start cooking. I highly recommend these pans!!

Very long lasting in the Millennium 18/10 stainless steel. They have a lifetime warranty that I have not had to use yet. They polish up very shiny.

My wife was about to begin multiple rounds of Chemotherapy and knew she wouldn't be able to do the cooking for a while. So prior to her Chemo treatments she went with me to shop for some "GOOD" cooking utensils. We looked at different brands and designs. She thought the Farberware utensils looked most durable for our new T-Fal cooking pans. Well, after a few times using the Farberware TURNER, I began to notice the beveled edge of the TURNER was deforming (melting). Leery that the melted portion may become ingrained in the food, I stopped using it. That's all I need is for some foreign material entering my wife's body with her immune system already compromised.

I purchased this Farberware Professional can opener specifically because it looked sturdy, was relatively inexpensive and had a "lifetime limited warranty". Initially it worked well but after about 8 months it became difficult to open and close. It has never been put in the dishwasher and is washed and dried after each use. Then, a few months after that it started slipping a little when being cranked around the rim of the can but with some coaxing it would still open a can. The slipping got worse and then the cogs that drive the cutting wheel and the gripping wheel got jammed.

We bought a Farberware stand mixer from Walmart and 2 months later it stopped working. I took it back to Walmart but they had clearanced out that model in all of the surrounding stores so I could not do an exchange and told me to call Farberware. I called Farberware and reached a recording saying that Farberware does not take care of electronic warranties and gave a number and instructions to call a different company. I called the number and it was a FAX MACHINE. When I called Farberware back and finally reached a human 20 minutes later, instead of addressing the situation they transferred me BACK TO WALMART???? HORRIBLE company, cheaply made shoddy products and INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Do not waste your money on anything with the Farberware name.

I called the company directly because the inside of the pot tarnished and it has a lifetime guarantee. I sent pictures and it took some time to receive a replacement but I was glad they listened. Since receiving it, I have had to constantly tighten the screw connecting the ya due to the pot. Really? I am 70 years old and have used this brand for a long time. I don’t think I will any more. Very unsafe.

I bought the Kcup coffee maker 1 month ago from Walmart. I have used Farberware products in the past with good success. So, I figured they would be a good option to go with. Nope, within a couple of weeks the coffee maker started to leak water. Doesn't register the Kcup and spews water out instead of coffee. The button keeps overriding my choice of 8 oz and kcup to wanting to ground. I have to unplug over and over again to reset as the water leaks out from under the machine. Takes 15 minutes to finally get a cup of coffee. I have to strain through a paper towel to get all the coffee grounds out of the cup. So disappointed! A complete waste of money and time. I expect more from Farberware. No longer a name Brand I trust. Will be going back to a Keurig which are a bit more pricey but work as promised.

We bought a new dustpan and broom with extended handles. The dust pan in warped and the dirt goes under the dustpan instead of into the pan.I tied calling the Farberware but was unable to reach any type of customer relations.

I bought this waffle maker about a year ago, but only used it once or twice. Today I pulled it out to make breakfast for kids after a sleepover, and I saw black marks on the cooking surface. So I went to scrub it, and realized that the nonstick surface is peeling off! (The black is the surface underneath showing through.) It is now useless and will have to go to the landfill. What a waste.

The saucepan makes sizzling sounds when water is being boiling. There are little sparks flying quite often. Now the the paint has peeled off the bottom outside edges. Also the top edge is peeled paint. I will never buy this brand again!! It’s the worst pot I have ever had. Maybe the quality is not the same anymore. I had only bought it less than a year ago. I have never seen a saucepan like this.

As some of the reviews say, bought 40 years ago, etc., I also have some of the older products, and they still work great, but all the new products anymore are junk, catch fire, burn up, quit working, etc. I recently bought a pot and pans set with a silver nonstick coating at Walmart, 3 months old and not only has the nonstick coating failed and peeling the copper bottom has ruined my glass stove top. My suggestion is they no longer care about quality. Their products are cheap junk, so don’t waste your money on any of it. This is a company that needs to be put out of business.

Purchased Copper Waffle Maker. Made waffles today. Top cooking surface (lid part) didn't completely cook waffle however, the bottom grid cooked the waffle just fine. Directions say to cook longer but bottom would have been burned if cooked any longer. Photo one is the top of waffle, photo two is the bottom.

Bought between 1971 and 1975 by my father at a houseware's show in Chicago or Harrisburg, PA. Handed down to 3rd generation 5 years ago, being used frequently and still going strong. Excellent product! Loved and well used.

I purchased this coffee pot. Two days later the on-off switch did not work. I took it back to Walmart and got another one, and three days later it quit working. Not sure if I want to try a 3rd time or get my money back.

Purchased a 4 cup coffee pot October 9th 2018 ($40.00) with a 2 year warranty. I love Farberware pots. Been purchasing them at tag sales for over 50 years. They were very reliable. Decided to treat myself to a new one. For some strange reason the plug no longer inserts all the way into the pot. Called those useless people at the warranty division. Asked for a replacement cord. Said they don't stock it. Asked for a pot replacement. Same stupid answer. They suggest returning item to store. Said they don't make the pot anymore, thus no parts available. If that's the case they should stop selling them. Warranty is as useless as the staff. When they answer the phone they don't say "Farberware". WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? WHO MAKES THIS PRODUCT? They said they would send me an email to start refund process. 4 hours has passed. I did not get the email. Do not purchase this product unless you purchase at a tag sale!!!

The heating coils in the base of the percolator melted through the plastic base. This is a shock and fire hazard. Model FCP 412, 120VAC, 60HZ, 1000W and purchased at Kohls. Kohls should be made aware of this. I'd attached a picture if this option were available. Feel free to contact me for one at **.

Works well, it does what it says it supposed to do and does it well. But the bottom of the pan where you put your food on started peeling within a month of purchase. I'm not worried of food sticking, although it does, but the flakes, are they safe if stuck on food? Their website looks like it was built by a junior high student, a high school student would've done better. And they only provide mail and phone contact, no form, no email. Some links don't work, how long have they been around?

I've never written a review before but I just had to give Farberware credit for an amazing toaster (4 Slice Toaster). What's so amazing is, it's never given me one problem since I've had it and it looks as good today as it looked when I open the wedding shower present from my sister. What's so amazing about that? That day was in 1976. YES! I've used this toaster for 42 years. Never had one problem. Now how many people can say that? The only reason I bought another toaster, was so I could toast my bagels. No, don't think anyone had wide slots back then. So a big thank you to Farberware! They make quality products and are top of the line for everyday use. They are made to last and have done that, for sure. 42 year worth!

Stainless Steel Pans with Impact Bonded Even Heat Distribution - This morning I was boiling water and forgot the post for about 10-20 minutes. The pan had run out of water. I quickly took it off the burner and turned the burner off. The substance that dropped on the floor dropped in pieces all over a vinyl flooring before I realized what was happening, burning holes in the flooring and rugs. This accident is going to cost me a new kitchen floor. Had I known it was not solid stainless steel, I would never have used it. What a disaster. This set was a gift. I have no receipt. It was sold by Walmart.

I purchased a microwave and it did not last 90 days. When it went out I was upset but due to microwave being under warranty I assumed it would be an easy fix. I know some electronics can be defective. Well more than 4 weeks later I still have no replacement and when I call to inquire I am advised no information is available on replacement. I guess I just learned the hard way because after looking at the reviews lots of customers have experienced the same thing. I will never purchase anything manufactured by this company and I would advise all consumers to do the same. If I could provide a rating of zero I would because one is too high.

Bought set of pans less than 3 months ago. Lids and handles came a little loose. First time I tried to tighten them EVERYONE stripped. They are pieces of **. I will never buy your products again. I will be telling everyone I know to never buy your ** again. Have a great day.

I purchased a cheese slicer that has a wire to slice the cheese. After minimal usage the wire broke. I called their toll free number and spoke with someone who told me I needed to ship the item into them. I asked what is the point of a warranty if the cost of replacement is equal to or higher than purchasing again? The woman said I didn't need to yell at her. I told her I wasn't yelling and would be happy to show her yelling if she would prefer, at which time she told me she was ending the conversation. Even if I was yelling this is completely unacceptable customer service. While the customer may not always be right, we always pay her salary. It seems that Farberware believes we need them more than they need us. I will no longer purchase from a company that employs such unprofessional personnel.

I recently purchased a Farberware trio crockpot to use over holidays and just yesterday 1/18/18 I was cleaning unit and sliced my finger on the metal band. All 3 crockpot are not rounded off. Went to urgent care and needed wound glue. The unit itself works great but the safety of the unit is poor.

So, my new microwave broke after about 5 weeks. Called Farberware. Actually, they use a call agency so it is not part of Farberware. These breaking must be common because all they asked me for was proof of purchased and said they would send a new one out - "Just dispose of the old one please". No questions asked. It would take "3-4 weeks". Now, this is a problem, who can go 3-4 weeks without a microwave with kids? Nevertheless, I emailed in my receipt to the "supervisor" on 11.19.2017. I have still never received a response from that email (today is 1.9.18). I have called back 3-4 times and they keep telling me. It is coming and they will email me a tracking number.

Got some new black Farberware spatulas for Christmas. Used them in a non-stick pan, with stove top set on "4". Flipping food, and the spatula melted right into the food I was cooking and it also ruined my brand new non-stick pan. This company's products suck and I have no idea how they are in business. Never in my life have I had a spatula literally melt before my eyes while flipping food. Will never utilize any Farberware product again as all these reviews point to a bad product. Also made in China I presume? Cheap garbage. Sounds like their products need to be pulled from shelves for safety hazards.

I have been Farberware Products for years and enjoyed everything I purchased. However, this week I purchased a new two quart saucepan and while peeling off the instructions I decided to read them. When I arrived at a teeny tiny print saying made in China my heart sank. I feel betrayed by you having your wonderful product made outside our own country. I cannot in good faith be able to make any further purchases with Farberware.

Purchased a costly Farberware can opener, thinking I was getting a quality product. Attempted to use it today while preparing Turkey dinner. Disgusted with it. Won't even open a can. Had to borrow a can opener. This is the second time I've purchased a Farberware product. The first was a set of butcher block knives. Red handles. Color Immediately started peeling off. Not sharp. Very unhappy with this so called quality brand. I will never purchase another product made by this company.

Saturday, 12/16/2017: I plugged in my Farberware rotating waffle maker which I have come to love... UNTIL THIS MORNING. I have had this waffle maker for a few years & have loved it until the cord attached to the iron crackled & burst into flames on my kitchen counter this morning. I immediately unplugged it & took it outside. Apparently, after so many uses, the cord shorts out from being 'rotated' back & forth & it shorted out & burst into flames. I am thankful that I was standing right there next to it & could unplug it. And yes, I did in fact check the cord before plugging it in as I always do, and there were no signs of fraying or that anything was wrong. I believe this to be a design flaw: Model #104553 UPC-681131045537. To all that have this model, please be aware & be careful using it.

I recently bought a Farberware cheese slicer from Walmart. The wire on the slicer is 1/4" from the bar and is extremely flexible. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it makes slicing cheese at any uniformity or thinness totally impossible. I would not recommend to anyone.

I got the Farberware 1.1 deep fryer for Christmas. The plug is magnetized and hardly ever stays in place. Most of the time it won't even go in correctly. I've only been able to cook 3 times in this. It's a useless piece of stainless steel. I've tried contacting Farberware for help, but get nothing. I'll never buy a product of theirs again or recommend their products. They are the worst.

Bought a Faberware cheese grater. Only after a few uses the cylinder blades inside the appliance seemed to distort causing the cylinder blades to rub the sides of the unit causing micro bits of plastic from the unit itself getting ground up in my cheese. I didn't notice at first but after I spread the cheese over my dish I could notice black bits of plastic all in my food. This is a very pour badly designed unit cheaply made. I will send mine back to the company after I file a complaint with Consumer Affairs. Do not buy a hand held crank grater from them. You're much better to buy a box grater so no moving blades with come in contact with any plastic & it won't end up in your stomach like what happened to me.

I was given a brand new set of pots and pans for Mother's Day 2017 and we just got a new glass top stove 2 weeks before and copper came off the bottom of the pan and messed up the glass top. Thank god my man got input from tech at work and told him what to try. Thank god it worked. I was so mad he got me the pot and pan set because mine were all old and bad to find out my old worn out junk was better than the new. Got a hold of Farberware, all they are doing is giving me new pans that are the same. All I wanted was the money we paid for them and for them to tell me how to fix my stove or fix it. They said, "Sorry you boiled the pan dry or cooked it dry." So I asked, "You're telling me I can't preheat with these pans on my glass top?" They never answered me on that question.

I know my grinder is not sold anymore but I called the company and got a runaround. I thought they would want to know how dangerous the blade is since the blade broke, pieces of it in the coffee grinds or spices if that was what I was doing when this happened. It is not big pieces, it was via sound that made me look to see why it "whirred" different. I could have or someone swallowed sharp pieces of metal. I called over five times between two numbers since one said "Not us you need to speak to" and other number same comment. I am surprised at their lack of concern, no one, not even supervisor cared. I explained Cuisinart replaced their blade no matter how old the item (they replaced mine).

First time using 4 qt fryer. I heated liquid, I picked the pot up off the burner and WHAM the cheap plastic handle snapped and broke off where it attaches to the screw. Tried several times to submit online complaint. The site will not allow me to submit because I cannot attach a full picture of the pot with handle attached. The HANDLE BROKE OFF sending everything flying, a mess!! I made several unsuccessful attempts calling the 800 #. There is absolutely no way to reach a person. It is all automated.

The standards of knives has dropped over the years. When you heard stainless steel, you knew you was getting something great. Now this crap is a joke. Who wants utensils that rust? You guys dropped the ball. Make it right!

Was given the 4pc steak knives for Christmas (2015). The blades are chipping away. 2 of them have rust spots on them. Very disappointed. Have had several different Farberware products in my life time (71 yrs) and this is the first.

I recently bought an electric, handheld can opener from Walmart. Not sure what model number. It takes two AA batteries. I think it cost me $20.00. Right from the gate, the thing was no good. But... I didn't have fresh batteries at first, so I attributed its lousy performance on that. Then I got fresh batteries and it was STILL a piece of junk. It had to go around a can MULTIPLE TIMES just to get it open. At least once, my mother just ended up using our old manual can opener, had spun around the top with seemingly no effect. I started to dread canned food. Tonight I needed another can opened. *sigh* I got the stupid thing out again and let spin around a few times, hoping for the best. The first time I noticed the slivers of metal was when I picked it up to see if JUST MAYBE it had managed to do its job. Felt one jabbing into my finger. Then I looked around on the counter and saw a whole bunch of metal slivers lying on the counter.

I bought a Farberware air fryer a few months ago and hadn't used it for a while because it doesn't cook as it should. So I decided to make the grandkids some french fries and wiped it all down with a towel. When I wiped around the knobs, the numbers, heat temps, timer, all wiped off. It was like they were just written on with a erasable ink. GREAT!! Going online to find the one I have so I can see where the temp numbers go, etc and I guess try a perm. marker or tape.

I purchased the 12 piece knife set, granted it was inexpensive, but dangerous. I was slicing an onion with the largest knife, and when I tried to press down on the "dull side" I sliced my thumb. There should be a warning that BOTH sides of the knife are sharp. Please be careful when using this knife.

I got the White Air Fryer on Black Friday and have only used it 3-4 times. I got it mostly to use when the grandkids want fries or something simple. The drawer is warped on the bottom right corner and won't close anymore. I thought there was a certain way to close it till I looked at the drawer closely. I think the heat is what warped it. I can't return because I don't have the receipt or a box to return it. Waste of $40.

Fryer got so hot - after cooking chicken and unplugging unit we heard a loud bang and found that our Corian countertop had a large crack in it. The countertop was hot to the touch however the fryer was off. This company should pay for repairing my countertop.

I bought the Farberware wok model 303 for my 83-year-old mother over 33 years ago and it is still her go-to appliance once a week when she makes a delicious dinner of stir-fried shrimp, chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, pea pods, bean sprouts, and baby corn. This wok has never failed her and we are amazed! I doubt it is still available but just wanted to give a shout out to Farberware. She said she doesn't know what she will ever do if the wok stops working. Let's hope it has a few more years left! Thanks for a very reliable product, Farberware!

Bought Farberware knife set 4 piece. Handles hold water, rust and gunk cannot be cleaned between handle and blade. Stainless steel does not rust so false advertisement and when I put the knife in the block it drips down and wrapped the block. Only had for 3 months. Very disappointed.

Farberware manual can opener. I bought the can opener in September 2016 when we were moving into our new home in Georgetown, TX. I chose Farberware for its name recognition and traditional exceptional quality. We have only used this can opener for opening cans to make chili or perhaps an occasional tuna or can of fruit. By early January 2017 the can opener no longer gripped the can of tomatoes - the gears were slipping and therefore the opener could not slice open the can. This has been a big inconvenience and a disappointment. We went back to Walmart and purchased a KitchenAid can opener.

I live in Louisiana. I was one of the many that was affected by the flood in Aug. 2016. When the house was at the stage of "camp living in the house" we purchased a Farberware Double Burner. It was a great purchase. We have cooked many meals on it. For Christmas my son gave me a Farberware Triple Slow Cooker with individual temperature settings. That has made life much easier. I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your products and I let everyone know they should invest in these items for themselves.

Am writing this to let you know how much I love your air fryer. I am an event specialist and had the chance to demo your products. It is so much better than a deep fryer... no grease smell, easy clean up. I don't have one myself, but looking forward to do a demo event. It works so well on TGIF apps. Spray them with a little oil and they taste just like the restaurant I was doing a demo for, Farm Fresh, and customer thought I was doing a demo for the air fryer. Again just wanted let you know how much I enjoy your products and looking forward to doing a demo I work for.

I bought a complete set of Farberware pots and pans fifty-two years ago. They have been heavily used almost every day since and still look and cook like new. I give these pans as wedding and housewarming gifts, because I love them myself.

Very disappointed in the 1.1 liter deep fryer! The magnetic cord does not stay connected. I tried the troubleshooting methods that are listed in the instruction manual but to no avail. It took me hours to make simple fries. Most of my pots and pans are from Farberware so when I purchased this deep fryer I thought I was investing in a good product.

The cookware is one of the better lines of cookware that I have owned and I have had it for about 15 Yrs. In addition I also own some T-fal and Calphalon. The Calphalon is better but the Farberware is a better value. And the T-fal I would say would be better for a starter set. Some of the more used items have worn out from so many years of use. Considering that this is the old style of non-stick I consider this to be pretty surprising. The handles are riveted (not screwed) on and that has made a huge difference in the time that the cookware has held up.

Farberware (Meyer Cookware) tea kettle rusted. Photos and numerous emails have been sent to customer service. They refuse to honor warranty request. Emails sent to Meyer Corporation CEO Stanley K. Cheng requesting he rectify this problem, have all been ignored. Those responsible for customer relations, quality and marketing of products represented by Meyer Corporation, are asked to reply too and honor this request for replacement (BonJour Tea 2 Qt. Stainless Steel Teakettle UPC: 747660530873.

Shortly after purchasing my new knife set (always buying Farberware) the largest knife slipped from my hands hit the counter top and the handle broke off. A few weeks later I noticed that my stainless steel knives were starting to rust, so whenever I need a knife now I have to use an sos pad on it first to remove all rust. Very disappointed.

Single serve Coffee Maker - I don't recommend purchasing this. I set up to make my coffee - as it was brewing I go to reach for my sugar next to coffee maker. The top lid pops off open. A piece of plastic popped off. I was scared but when I looked the actual steam pressure literally broke the top off. That coffee maker is cheap. I only used it 4 times. It's a cheap product - not of good quality at all.

My family has always used Farberware. Recently, though, it seems they have gone to the dump. We have two sets, one a 21-piece with two sets of shears, and a smaller set. The 21-piece keeps rusting, and the shears no longer want to open or close. The smaller set has been having the handles spontaneously snap, even when trying to cut soft things. The shears in the smaller set, however, are perfectly fine, along with the bread knife. The paring knife is also okay, but not ideal. I don't know what has happened to this company, but we definitely will be investing in a different brand next time.

I purchased a 15 x 21 bamboo cutting board for Christmas for my son. Within a month it was warping and splitting. It took a few months before we could get together for him to give it to me. Since there is a lifetime warranty, I really wasn't worried about timing. I took a picture of the warranty information (address, etc) from another board. Tried to find contact information online. Nothing matched the address that was on the product, so I called the main number and after pressing the appropriate number, I was connected to a representative. I could barely hear him and told him so. He turned up the volume, barely enough for me to hear him. Explained my problem and he abruptly cut me off and said: "You don't need to send it back. I'll just send you a new set."

I recently purchased the knife set that comes with the wooden countertop block and as I was cutting meat the blades actually broke. I took them back to the store where I bought them and exchanged them. I thought I would upgrade to the larger set that comes with the 2 pairs of scissors and all the knives (21 piece set) that maybe they would be better and I swear to god the knives started rusting the second day I had them. Will never buy anything Farberware brand again. Have spoken to a few friends that used to be avid Farberware brand buyers and they expressed their dislike for Farberware and how their products have gotten worse and they also will not buy Farberware again. Very, Very, Very disappointed.

I have had the blender less than a month. I was making a malt when the blender filled my kitchen with smoke and a very strong burning smell. This is a very cheaply made product that can't even mix ice cream without burning up, I thought for sure I was going to have a fire on my hands. Model #16209, SN# E347709.

Purchased from Wal-Mart - cheaply made. Only owned for 2 months and broke cutting meat. See pictures where scissors broke. You would think the metal frame extends through the handle, but not the case for these cheaply made cooking scissors. Could be these were made in China - muck. Generic junk.

My family has purchased Farberware products for as long as I can remember! I'm 66. That's why I was very disappointed with my purchase of the K-cup coffeemaker! First problem was "catch" that keeps water fill cover closed melted out of shape, due to steam! I now fill it and put a weight on top!! Next problem was it would not brew through K-cup! So I have to put 4 holes in bottom of cup! Then use maker to put hole in top of cup, but have to make that hole larger!!! Finally I can have a [fas]t cup of coffee [not!!] Major improvements are needed!

I bought the set with 17 pieces, which includes 7 travel cups and lids. First try leaked. Second try with tighter alignment leaked. Took cup lid apart to reposition rubber ring. Third attempt leaked all over counter again and is setting in my sink. Me and 3 people cannot get it unscrewed!!

I was cooking with the skillet and smelled something. There was a black plastic "goop" melting on the outside and inside of the pan by the handle. It looked like it was from where the handle was attached. I checked to make sure it wasn't from the handle itself and it was not. I purchased this pan set at Walmart and will be returning it today. Thank you.

I input data to order a part for a Farberware product, the instructions stated that once my address information was input the shipping cost would be calculated. I followed instructions however no shipping data appeared. I pushed the order button and lo and behold that's when the shipping cost appeared. Good - I knew what the shipping cost was bad - I ordered the item at a cost I would not have accepted, My fault for jumping the gun. Farberware's issue for having a faulty website. Buyer beware. Trying to cancel the order by following the instructions came to no avail - that is another story.

I am very furious with my Farberware cookware set my husband has bought me the other night. The set looked amazing when I opened the box and cleaned them to put away. I went to make breakfast this morning using the 10 in pan, grey set with white/tan interior. Reminder, this is the first time using the set and when I was done with the pan I go and wash it and it's all stained and discolored. I can't get it back to normal. I called customer service about it and staining is not under warranty so there is nothing they can do about it. I would understand over time it get stained and discolored but this is like all brown after using it for the first time. If anyone goes to buy pots and pans for their house I would not recommend Farberware for anything.

I have a small frypan I am about to trash because the coating is peeling and I don't want it in our food. Just wondering if a replacement is possible? Bottom says "durable stainless steel, 8 1/4 in/21cm tooo09, Impact bonded, even heat distribution."

Purchased this at Canadian Tire recently, as it seemed like a great sale. Then my wife and I actually used them and realized that they don't cut through anything except extremely ripe bananas or butter that has been left out in the Sahara Desert sun for 5 hours. When I try to cut through anything denser, I feel like Leo DiCaprio in Revenant, trying to saw a bit of raw meat off a bear's thigh or something except I'm more pissed than he is. I almost lost a thumb trying to dice up some red onion last week. Really really really crappy product. I had Walmart and Dollarama cutlery that have performed more adequately. Don't buy anything from the clowns who run this company or create this product.

Completely dissatisfied! I own a small bake-from-home business & am horrified to see flakes of the non-stick silver lining on my food. Fortunately this was food made for home. I was able to remove those parts. I purchased this 9" cake pan with lid because I loved the look and desired functionality of it w/ the lid. But now I see I cannot trust Farberware. Photos show food with flakes stuck to it & pan with missing parts. FYI I used a plastic/safe spatula.

My wife purchased a "Non-Stick" frying pan, and within a few months the "Non-Stick" material started to peel. I sent it back, as it was still under Warranty, and Farberware (Meyer Corporation) sent it back with a form letter to wiggle out of their Warranty obligations. We are both very upset, and plan to let everyone know about our bogus Warranty denial experience with Farberware (Meyer Corporation).

My wife and I purchased a set of Farberware pans for $60.00 which seemed like a great deal considering the reputation of this company. I was cooking some eggs last night in the fry pan. Suddenly the smell of what I can only describe as burning metal filled the house. We had to open the windows, it was so offensive. I will be contacting Farberware at the next business day available. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? We are very surprised at this product having purchased from this company over the course of many years.

Bought can opener. Only used it a few times when the part you turn to open can cracked. It is made of plastic. I am tired of spending money on junk made in China. I will made sure anything else I buy is not made there. Hopefully, there has to be products made in USA.

Purchased a Farberware toaster oven from Wally-Mart. Before even trying to use it I noticed the how poorly it was built. The cooking racks do not even fit in the oven well enough to hold food to be cooked, meaning food fell and caused burns to my hands while using. Next it started making very loud banging noises then quit working altogether. Called 800 number only to be hung up on after minutes of sales offers followed by the most intentional terrible noise. All this happened in the span of two days, now I am out $50 and have to suffer with the disposal b/c it is illegal to throw away in this state. Very dangerous product and clearly evasive company to do business with.

I own a Farberware air-insulated baking pan. When I bake cookies or brownies on it, little pieces of the non-stick coating flakes off and sticks to them. Farberware will not replace the pan under warranty.

My office is very chilly and because of this, many of my coworkers have personal space heaters in their individual rooms. I purchased this fan heater last night so that I could warm up my own room. I took it out of the box, brand new, and plugged it into the wall far away from anything that could possibly be hazardous. At first the fan wouldn't run but it seemed to be warming up a little. So I figured maybe since it was brand new, it needed to warm up first or something. I set it down on the ground safely and turned my back to it to start up my laptop. It smelled a little warm but it was brand new so I figured that was normal and would wear off soon. I turned back around and THERE WERE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE HEATER. FLAMES. IN MY OFFICE.

About a year ago we purchased a knife set from Walmart. So far 3 of the knives have broken off at the handle while cutting food. I could send you a picture of the recent one. Not real happy with this product.

Farberware replaced a can opener manual 8 weeks later handle broke / not worth shipping it back as cost 1/2 of value to return. Must be low quality China junk. Won't purchase any Farberware products again. Be warned inferior products.What's a lifetime warranty good for?

After I purchased the set of knives from Kohl's I noticed a rusty staining happening about 1 year after owning them. I found a Farberware FB page to ask what I am doing that is causing the spots and posted a photo with no response. At that point I was willing to try to fix the problem do whatever is recommended to care for the knives. I have searched on the web and still cannot even get to a Farberware page. When I click on the Farberware.com site it says "page not found". It has now been 2 years and I am in need of new knives as these are truly embarrassing.

I have this set of pots for a couple of yrs. The black coating inside started to wear off right away. The bottom of the pots are all discolored and the worst of all... One pot has A HOLE in it. Luckily I noticed water all over my stove, counter and floor, before I would've gotten badly burned!! Set has lifetime warranty but YET they refuse to replace it. Farberware wants me to ship out the pots AT MY EXPENSE, despite the fact that I sent them email pics and video showing the damage!!! I will never use Faberware again knowing other companies stick by their product.

I bought a nice Farberware can opener, looked like it would work with my arthritis hands. It was very hard to turn and to keep on the can. I've had it about six months. Finally it just won't work any more. Paid $8.00 for it. Now I've got to replace it. I bought it at my local Brookshire's grocery store. Have a receipt packed in my files. Will not file anything. Just wanted to complain to the company.

I have 4 pots that do not work. Loved using 6-8, 12 cup. Also own 50 cup. I need to have them replaced. 50 works well. Hard to find. Please let me know what to do next about getting them replaced. I miss using them.

There was significant rust on every piece of cutlery, including the scissors, when I opened them. Unfortunately I discarded the receipt, thinking Farberware had a great reputation. I cannot return them and I don't want to use them. Now I have an entire, unusable, rusty set of brand new knives that I paid for. I would not recommend these China-made products to anyone.

I have just bought my knife set about 3 months ago. I love them. But they are starting to rust at the handle and on the blade. And I have two of them broken now. I paid a lot of money for this set. I hope that I can get something done at this. I hope that the gift don't do the same as mine did. Thanks.

Handle cracked and fell off in first month. I epoxy glued and duct taped it back on. The gears wore out by the third month, useless. Will never by a Farberware product made in China again, waste of money.

And buy several products of this company and only use 2-10 times after break down. Stop working according to these and cannot return to the store, saying lifetime warranty and do not meet the guarantees.

My Children purchased a Farberware deep fryer for Father's day and while cooking with it the unit exploded. As the oil was heating up no food in it yet, I reached to remove the cover. Before I lifted the cover it shot off and hit the cabinet above it and the oil spilled all over my 14 year old daughter causing 2nd degree burns to her hand, stomach, and both thighs. We contacted farberware and was told to return the product. I don't believe that this should have happened and feel that this product isn't safe or maybe my unit was defective but I don't know what to do at this point. My daughter has medical expenses, ambulance fees and the kitchen smells like oil and I can't off the floors.

As with many of these posts, I also had a strange problem with a Farberware frying pan that I have already used on several occasions. My daughter in law gave me a set of red Farberware pots and pans for Christmas last year (purchased at Wal-Mart in Augusta, Maine). I also have used this brand for years and knew it to be quality. Tonight that changed a little when I was frying a grilled cheese sandwich on the electric stove in my apartment. When I flipped it for the last time, I temporarily placed in on the top of my stove/oven (full sized HotPoint). When I lifted the pan, it left a red mark in the shape of the pan on the stove top. I've never seen this before and I wondered why it did that. Before I completely research this, I wanted to post my experience. Farberware, if you're watching or listening, fix it!!!

After over 40 years of having Farberware Elect Coffee Pots, several years ago my 8 cup pot finally needed to be replaced. I figured it was worth the over 50.00 for a new one since this had lasted at least 30 years. Well the new one went to crap within 2 years. Went back to the store and **. They replaced it for me. Now this one also around the 2 year mark has started to go cold. I did some online investigating after the first one that was replaced and found out that Farberware sold out to China and that they are no longer making them here in the USA... So there goes another fine business that has gone downhill with sending overseas. I will NOT buy another Farberware unless I find an old one that was made in USA. They work. The new ones don't!!!

Farberware Solid Double Burner should be called Solid Double Warmer - Bought this an hour ago to use in our RV - took it home and took it out of the package - read through the brochure - clearly states this is only intended for "gently boiling water and not intended to braise, brown or fry foods." May as well use a can of Sterno! Put this back in the box and will return it. Box has a photo on it showing a pan on the unit with eggs frying in it. Very misleading.

I have used Farberware products for years. Always a quality product. However the last few years the quality has been poor. I just bought a coffee pot 12-cup the second in two years. I was moving with the first one and it started dripping. I assumed it was my fault as it may have been damaged during the move. So I went to Wal-mart and to my surprise it was on sale so I bought it. Had it 3 weeks and noticed it had water underneath the unit. Would not recommend this product.

I have been a user of all Farberware products, but the last few years & have 3 sizes of your coffee pots. I use the 12 cup pot almost every day, & the six cup quite often, but lately they are not lasting as long as they did years ago. I have been through at least 2 of each size in 1 year, I do not like the keurig pots that everyone is using these days, I was a true lover of your Farberware pots, but not anymore.

When cutting a piece of cheese the metal blade of the knife broke off and flew up in my face!!! This has happened twice now to me! These knives are dangerous and should be recalled!!!

I bought the knife set for $40.00 regular $100.00 at Canadian Tire about a month ago. Blades already rusting - not impressed at all. Don't ever buy them.

I purchased the Classic Tools set. The first time I handwashed the turners, ladle, and slotted spoon, retained waster in the handle and dripped out on my food. So I bought an extra small turner and large turner and the same thing happened. I bought the set and extra tools at Walmart. What do you expect me to do? Social media is a great place to make complaints.

I bought a knife block with the knives. After one year all the knives have rusted or have rusty spots on them. I am very disappointed because I have always purchased Faberware products for over 30 years. Very disappointed in the quality of knives.

I purchased this can opener at TJ Maxx a couple of months ago. It worked great for a few weeks and I was very happy with it since my old one of several years wasn't working properly anymore. Well - I wish I hadn't thrown out my old can opener because it worked better than this new Faberware one does now. The gears seem to be messed up and won't crank properly when I turn the handle. I only paid around $7.00 for it but would have expected it to last longer than a few weeks. I have a set of Faberware pots and pans that I have had for over 40 years and they still look beautiful! So what's up Faberware with your can openers?...if I could ship them back for free I would so you could see there is no exaggeration here...they are as shiny and new looking but I guess you can't judge a can opener by it's looks.

I purchased a new can opener about Nov 2014. I was disappointed from the start. The bigger the can the worse it worked. Recently it struggled to open a standard soup can. This is a tool I normally use less than once a week. I will not purchase another Farberware product again and have since purchased a different brand which, so far, is working quite well.

Farberware solid double burner hot plate model #104555 - Purchased product from Wal-Mart on 01/27/15. After cooking with it the first time decided to swipe it down with dish washing detergent and water, very mild cleaner after the unit was completely cold, couple hrs. after use. The manual suggest doing this after each use. The white lettering started coming off. The white dots for temperature settings completely came off at the 900 watt burner control knob. Will be taking the unit back to Wal-Mart tomorrow and try another one. The unit worked fine as far as for cooking purpose. Simply amazed me how easy the paint came off.

In the last 5 months we have bought 3 of the can openers. They get to where they will not cut the lids, the handle will act like it's stripped - won't turn and this third one just literally FELL APART while I was trying to open a can!!

My Wife bought me a new set of stainless steel knives, as a gift. I have not had them a month yet and they are rusting. Very disappointed.

Farberware hand held can opener - I could not open a can first time tried. Cutting edge did appear to hit can where necessary.

In reading previous product reviews, it's apparent that the quality of Farberware has plummeted since the company moved manufacturing to China. A reviewer named "Keith" gave raves about his hand-me-down OLD Farberware and wondered why others are complaining so bitterly about their NEW products! It's because his experience has been with "Made in the U.S.A." Farberware, whereas the other folks have been experiencing "Made in China" Farberware.

I have had this heavyweight can opener for 6 months and already I'm struggling for 10 min to open a can! This is ridiculous. I bought it brand new from a well-reputed store. I wont buy or recommend this brand to anyone anymore.

Farberware cooking thermometer -- Plastic face was melted in the oven. It should have been glass.

Kitchen countertop skillet - This was a horrible item. First of all I didn't like how it turned off. I had this for only ONE WEEK and used a rubber spatula. I wiped it off since there was only a little olive oil on it from browning a corn dog. I made eggs on it and couldn't believe my eyes. Tiny black speckles all over it. I asked my husband what he saw on my eggs. He said, “Pepper?” After wiping it off with a wet paper towel 4 times, it kept on leaving little flakes of metal on the towels. I returned it to Wal-Mart and told the manager it should be pulled!

Ok, I read these complaints and shook my head. I grew up with Farberware and I specifically requested this brand from knives to my coffee pot. I'm not saying people have not had issues, I'm saying I have been very pleased with the company. The products have lasted through two households. I got some handed down, and get this... The expensive 15-inch frying pan is warped and the Farberware is pretty much like new. Explain that one. Simply put, I love my Farberware and when my time comes to leave this world I want to carry it with me! I should also mention my own experience with the teflon. Will it come off? Any of them will if you use metal utensils in the pot/pan. I personally use plastic, you guessed it, Farberware cooking utensils to help ensure or prolong the life of the pan. All in all, I can not say enough about this wonderful company and I truly look forward to each meal I prepare with them.

I sent in my broken knife with a letter stating it rusted off. Got knife back telling me that the product was not from them. But it WAS from them, it has the Farberware name and trademark on it!!! It doesn't even look like they opened it. I want to call them and ask them how they determined it was not from them since it has the name and trademark on it. Such BS!!!

The noise the percolator makes before starting to perk is awful. The coffee is very harsh-tasting (after making many adjustments). It does not clean up well, stains inside around the bottom and unable to scrub out. The utensils referred to are in no way nonstick, food coats up on them, just to flip an egg is not a pretty picture. Farberware has gone "to the dogs" and after 50 some years of trusting I will be avoiding this brand. No, thank you.

Knifes were used under normal cooking stuffs and gets broken easily. Steel is cheap and poor quality. Sucks!

Filled kettle (did not turn on stove) before leaving house to meet a group of people. Arriving home, found large puddle of water in the middle of kitchen floor. Traced it to teakettle, which had leaked from hole at spout, which had rust all around it. So much for Farberware stainless steel!

I have purchased not one but two farberware can openers. The first one was $6.00, it would only put a hole in the can. The second one more heavy duty, worked for about a week, then the same thing. I of course don't have my receipt to return it. Lol.

Toaster Oven Model 103738 - This product is DANGEROUS. When attempting to remove a hot dish from the toaster oven by moving the rack forward a few inches (3 inches, in fact because I later measured) the rack tilts downward at a significant angle causing the scalding hot dish and its contents to slide forward and out of the oven. Fortunately I was able to grasp the dish before it fell to the floor and possibly resulting in severe burns. I attempted to return the item but was told to contact the company because it was a design and safety issue that need to be addressed. The rack tilting forward so much has never been an issue with any other toaster oven I have owned or used in the past.

I bought this can opener a couple months ago. The first time I used it I was trying to open a couple cans of tuna and it cut for an inch then did not cut for an inch, I had to use a butter knife to open the can enough to get the tuna. I thought it was the cans! I think I paid about $7.00 for this can opener at Walmart. I since bought a Kitchen Aid can opener at Kohl's and it works so smooth and easy. I own Farberware cookware and utensils and I have been pleased with everything but this can opener. It is just horrible!

I have recently purchased 2 hand held can openers from the local walmart store. The first one lasted maybe a month and then the grinds stopped working. The second one I purchased didn't even work. I work for a day care and purchase things for them.

I had a Farberware can opener, purchased from Wal-Mart, in which the handle broke after only two months of use. This was the second can opener that's broken in the last year (first one lasted many years) so I was a little frustrated. I had no receipt, so I Google'd Farberware's customer service number and gave them a call to see if I could just get a replacement handle. I got a customer service rep on the phone very quickly and they transferred me to Lifetime Brand's customer service number. I assumed this was where the endless "Sorry, I can't help you, let me transfer you" saga would begin.

We purchased one of these thinking that since it was a Farberware, was the most expensive can opener Walmart carried and had a lifetime warranty that this was going to be an item we would have for quite a while. However, within a few months the handle broke and we were being forced to purchase another one. Once again the only option at Walmart (we need to go somewhere else for this) was the same item, so since the Lifetime Limited Warranty required that we send it back prepaid to Farberware we decided to give it another try and take the older opener back in the new package with the recent receipt for a refund. Lo and behold the cheap plastic handle broke in less than a month. Now we'll have to pay to ship this piece of junk back to Farberware and see what they do in response.

Less than a year ago I purchased a farberware CAN OPENER, at Walmart for under $10. This can opener has been used less than once a month for the past year. I trusted Farberware to provide a superior product. This is the worst can opener I have ever used. I did not save my receipt because it is a FARBERWARE product. It will NOT open a can, after only a few uses. My friend said the same thing about the Farberware can opener she purchased. Reviews on the Internet echoed my statements.

I had a warranty issue with a knife from my KitchenAid set. The blade literally broke. I contacted customer service only to realize that Farberware is the company that represents the KitchenAid brand. I was promptly emailed a response telling me where to send the knife for a replacement. I did so and received a brand new one. It was a new model which had a slightly different handle design. It didn't match the rest of the set in my block, so I reached back out to let them know. I was told to go to their website and pick out a set that I liked. I forwarded them the model number and received a complete set of knives (plus the original replacement) at no charge. Now that is what I call excellent service! Thanks Valerie!!!

I bought a Farberware knife set, on sale, at Canadian Tire and thought I was getting a smoking deal! These knives rusted the FIRST time I used them! Unbelievable that a company could sell such garbage. I now know why Canadian Tire was trying to unload them. A complete waste of money. Farberware will never get business from me again.

I thought I would spend the extra money to get a good can opener, and I bought one of yours. It lasted a month. I thought I just got a dud, so I bought another one. It also lasted a month. What a piece of junk. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves selling that crap. Why can't you just sell those cheap ones that would last.

My cookware surface was separating from the cookware itself, resulting in specks of black non-stick surface in my food. When I contacted Farberware, they communicated that the only way to replace the products was for me to ship it cross-country. SO, I purchased new pots and pans in order to ship my old ones to them. I'm not sure how I could wait for three months without pots and pans. They then shipped the same number of pans back to me - different pans, though. And, not very helpful since I had to replace them already in order to ship them back. In this day and age, it should be possible to send photos of the pots and pans so that they can replace the pans without me having to purchase new ones. WOULD NEVER BUY FARBERWARE AGAIN! WARRANTY IS POINTLESS.

I was slicing up bean sprouts and suddenly the knife blade snapped off at the black handle. While the knife blade was about 3/4 inches tall, I could see that only about 1/4 inch of metal extended into the handle, at the top of the blade. Really cheaply made knives to break with such little force and to not have the entire blade extend into the handle. This knife set had been in use for about a year, so I was completely shocked when this happened and just am lucky and glad that I did not cut myself or anyone else around at the time.

I bought Farberware Can Opener from a local Walmart Store in Columbia, MD slightly over nine months. It did not work after using three times. I got replacement from the store because it was returned within 3 months. The replacement can opener stopped working within few months. The Walmart refused to replace this time because it is over three months. It had a lifetime warranty and was told that you call the company. I could not get the customer service department over the phone because it was always busy. I sent an email without any response.

Can opener used one time, wheels don't match up to open can. Threw out the receipt thinking this will last forever, it is Farberware. Little did I know how inferior Farberware has become the last few years. Just shows don't trust the brand name, anyone can buy it and ruin their products.

Again and again as stated by many others. Unfortunately this is a small purchase and like many other small purchases we don't look into the products. We just assumed the name brand at a higher price must be of good quality. Unfortunately with Farberware this isn't the case. The teeth in the gears have gone after only 4 cans. I really expected to have a good quality product that would last for years. Oh well never again. Goodbye Farberware you've not only lost a longtime customer but I will also be alerting many people to stay away.

I too was very excited about the set of red Faberware knives I received as a gift. The red was really beautiful. I used one knife, hand washed and dried it and noticed rust spots. I was very upset. I have other knives that I paid much less for and used for years without any problem and paying more and getting less does not work for me. I was shocked and offended. I trust the name of this product and what I got was a slap. Now, after reading some of the other reviews I am almost afraid to use the bigger knives since they have a possibility of splitting in mid chop. I did not ask for these knives so I could just have something red to set on my counter. I want useful tools.

Same complaint as other subscribers. Used this new Farberware can opener about 5 times and it broke when I tried to open a can last night. The lifetime guarantee is not worth using, since we need to pay as much as the purchase price to return it to the company. Another consumer being taken by the system.

Today is 2/27/2014. I was slicing and chopping a medium size white onion with my farberware chef knife, the smaller one. I was doing it the same way I have been doing onions for the past 40 years, slow, gentle, to slice, and mild to moderate pressure when I did the chopping of my onion. While chopping, the handle of the knife gave way, in my hand! As if it had suddenly bent, and I could not believe it. I was fortunate that I did not get wounded! I will recommend to everyone I know NOT to purchase that cheap set of Farberware knives, and make sure if you do buy their knives: purchase the knives where the blade metal goes through the entire body of the knife and is riveted in the handle! Scared the Heavens out of me.

I have bought 3 can openers from Farberware within a year and a half. There is a "lifetime warranty" and I just bought a new one thinking it was just a small purchase and it wasn't a big deal. I was annoyed by the first one, the second one, and really annoyed by the third one. The can opener looks sturdy but only works a few times. I looked at the return policy, and there is a "lifetime warranty" and realized I needed to pay for the return. I understand it is just as expensive to return your item as it is to buy a new one. I will be returning your last can opener to the store and making a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and the attorney general. I will also be blogging online about your company as well as letting everyone on Facebook know.

I also purchased a set of non-stick Farberware fry pans. The handle is heavier than the pan; therefore, the pans are constantly tipping over. This is a very dangerous situation that could result in injuries. I can't believe there is no testing of these products before they are sold? I will also be advising the Consumer Products Safety Commission.

Farberware can openers are JUNK. Paid $10.99 at a local store, worked two months and now you cannot use it. Takes about twenty turns to open a can, remind you, that's a small can. So went and got a cheap $.88 Walmart one and it works great.

Bought this can opener and it was a big mistake. Not only it rust & started skipping within a few months. The handle broke when I tried to open a can normally. The unit looks nice & tough but it use plastic parts inside the handle.

I purchased this product online through Amazon. Cost $69.99. It worked about 6 months. Coffee stopped getting hot enough. Perc time was short. Called Farberware and they asked me to send the cord end to them and $10 and I did. I asked if I would be sent a new one, not "reconditioned". They said new. It is now 4 months old and doing the same thing. Coffee not perking hot enough, weak, no color. I plan on calling them today but I don't want any Farberware replacement. I will not be buying Farberware ever again. Quality is so poor. I plead with anyone reading this. Don't waste your money on this product. There must be a decent product somewhere and I intend to find it.

I purchased the coffee maker and it is supposed to be a "Perfect Pour". NO! It runs all over my counter when I try to pour a cup or fill my thermos. It doesn't matter how I hold the pot, whether it is right on the cup or higher, if I pour slow or fast. It still runs out all over my counter.

This product has a high quality name and most expensive on the shelf. It hasn't opened a can fully and without fighting with it since day one. Threw out receipt, so am stuck with it. Ugh!

I called to see if I could do anything about the color of my pans bleeding all over my hands, and in the dishwater. She asked me if I had ever put them in dishwasher. I said, "Yes, after they started bleeding all over me," so she said, "Well, you were not supposed to do that!" I said, "I only did it to see if I could get all the color out of it!!" She said, "Well, you voided the warranty!" I said, "So you are not going to do anything about this!" I just hung up the phone!

I purchased two Farberware ice cream scoops (large and medium sizes) assuming that the brand name would likely last longer than a cheap one. Boy, was I wrong! The medium one never ever worked correctly - the spring-action lever rotates a metal blade (supposed to eject the ice cream) but it goes in the opposite way - above the ice cream. Backwards. These things weren't cheap - at least $15.00 each. I'm angry and unable to contact anybody as their website is user un-friendly. Just wish I'd gone with a cheapie and been happy.

Apparently Farberware make crummy can openers. Mine stopped working after about THREE uses. Wanted to write to the company but haven't seen where to do that yet. Have had very bad luck trying to find one that works for more than six months. Suggestions?

I purchased two different Farberware whisks that are coated with a red silicone material over the wires, and I've only used them a few times. When we sat down to dinner last night, I was surprised to find that some of the red silicone material had come off the whisk and was in the gravy!!! Yuck! What kind of product is this?

Twice I paid extra for a Farberware can opener because I believed quality would come with the extra price. When the first one broke within just a couple months, I thought it was a fluke. I bought a second one and it, too, lasted just a few months before the handle refused to connect with the gears. It feels stripped out. Really, Farberware? A can opener that gets stripped out from opening cans? Why even charge extra if your products are only good for a month or so?

We typically buy the cheapest costing hand-held can opener we can find in the stores and discard them after 3-4 years when the rust becomes too excessive. This time, I elected to spend twice the money to get a Farberware can opener. After 3 uses, the plastic handle broke. I am not sure if I will even bother with chasing a warranty replacement based on the other comments.

I bought a frying pan and submitted $5.00 rebate. 6 weeks later they say sales receipt is missing and they can't send me the rebate $5.00. I had submitted all that was required in their scheme. If they lost the receipt, which apparently they did, why did it take them six weeks to contact me? I don't care about the $5.00. It's the scamming and scheming that I want to share with other consumers. I'll be going to the store where I bought the pan and posting a sign saying "Scam! Don't buy!" I will never again purchase Farberware and will ensure all my friends and family know what a scam they operate.

We bought a manual can opener in Christmas of 2012. I paid more than the opener was worth by far. It only lasted about a month and a half. Now it is virtually unusable. We are very dissatisfied about this and probably will never buy Farberware again. I am now using one which was purchased many years ago.

We purchased what we thought was a nice meat cleaver from Ikea which was made by Farberware! We were using the cleaver for the second time and were attempting to chop a bunch of smoked pork shoulder to render it into pulled pork. I was sitting next to my friend who was cutting the meat and all of a sudden, the handle separated from the blade, leaving the blade to go flying through the air! This knife did not break! It was as though there was nothing holding the handle and the blade together. The blade landed in my lap and put a minor cut on my leg which I attended to. But I am horrified that this could have happened and even more horrified about what could have happened! I am wondering if anyone else has had an experience such as this with a meat cleaver. Also, I cannot seem to get an email delivered to the company. The email comes back undeliverable.

It only lasted about a month or so, and I was really upset because I loved the red color. It matched my kitchen set, but it is a total and complete garbage. Two thumbs down.

I purchased a Farberware can opener at Wal-Mart in January 2013. I paid more for it and looked for a trusted name brand because the last one I bought only worked for about 6 months. I am sorry, Farberware, but yours worked for an even shorter period of time, although I paid almost twice as much for it. It now shreds the metal into tiny slivers when we can even get the gears to work so we can open a can. No one should purchase one of these safe opening models. They don't open and they are far from safe! A real disappointment.

I bought a Farberware can opener to replace the manual can opener that worked very well for over 10 years but was getting hard to operate. The new Farberware can opener no longer works after only two months. The gears skip and you have to keep restarting/reclamping it on to the can to get it to work. It takes 15 - 20 tries to get a can open. It is a piece of junk. I bought it at Walmart for about $12 after looking at many openers and thought this one looked decent and comparable to my long lasting one. I dug my old one out and realize just how good that one still works. I will never buy another Farberware product.

I bought three stainless steel saucepans that were at the higher end of Farberware collections. Within a few uses, the paint on the handles started peeling. The screws holding the handles on come loose and have to be tightened periodically. These pans are only a year or so old. The saucepan size that we use the most frequently has almost no gray paint left on the handle and looks better now that it is almost completely black. I'm tempted to scrape the paint off the other handles because they look terrible! It's a shame because the quality of the saucepan is great. They are durable. To have a coating of paint that peels off so easily is disappointing. I don't want to tighten the screw on the saucepan after every few uses.

I bought a Farberware can opener on or around December 20th of 2012. I used it three or four times a week through January. By early February 2013, the can opener gear handle would turn, but the actual gears would not work together to cut the metal cans open. I am piercing the can by squeezing the handles together and then re-piercing the can repeatedly until I am able to access its contents. One of these days, I'm going to slice my hand on all that sharp metal because I am using too much force to prevent injury.

I returned the first one I bought. They replaced it. Two weeks later, that stopped working. They replaced it with two different ones; neither one of those would even cut. It just spins around. Please refund my money. I'll buy another brand.

I have purchased 2 handheld can openers within the last year. I must say they are pure junk. They worked for about 2 weeks and then would not open cans. The handle broke on one. I called and was advised to return them and I would get 2 new openers. Well that has been 3 months ago and they have not ever responded. This is very sad since I have used Farberware forever. I also purchased a knife set and now the handles hold water. I will not be buying Farberware anymore since it is all junk!

The 2nd Farberware can opener that I purchased 3 months ago from Walmart worked well for about 2 months. The one I must purchase today will not be a Farberware. Even though the cost was less than $8 per can opener (purchased my first one 2 years ago, it lasted 1.5 years; I wanted to give the brand another chance), the quality of the equipment is very inferior. Anyone from Farberware listening?

I bought one of the more expensive Farberware can openers about 5 years ago. I decided to pay more since I thought Farberware was a reliable brand. I loved the can opener when it worked (it was very easy to use) but now the wheels do not turn when I turn the handle, so I'm back to my very old, cheap plain one that is still working fine. Warranties for inexpensive products are worthless if you need to spend more than it costs to ship it back.

I purchased this 3-piece kitchen scissor/shears set because of the Farberware name. The scissors are supposed to be titanium. Well, I tried to use the bone scissors/shears to cut some meat up (not a bone in the meat at all), and the scissors would not cut through the meat! Then I tried to cut through some chicken bones and the scissors would not cut through the bone! I am so disappointed and upset with the cheap quality of Farberware these days! What happened to this company? What a waste of my money!

Just before Thanksgiving 2012, I bought the Farberware oven probe thermometer with alarm. I used it when cooking my turkey, and all was wonderful! I used it about a week later to make sure that I got my family's steaks done to their liking. Again, it worked beautifully! About a week after that, I glanced up at it, magnetically stuck there on my fridge like it's supposed to be, and the ambient temperature in the room was over 200F. I submerged it in ice water and it got down to a chilly 150F. Currently here at my desk, it's reading 196.2F. I don't know what's wrong with it. I've changed the battery. I've unplugged the probe and left it in the freezer thinking something had gone wrong inside the probe itself. No matter what I do, it's reading the wrong temperature. I thought that if I tried to use it again, it might reset itself or something. The result was very underdone pork. I'll be returning this to the store if I can and paying the difference for a better brand.

Farberware can opener - We purchased this can opener at our Wal-Mart. I thought from looking at it, it would be a good can opener. It was for a while, but now it doesn't want to open the cans nor does it want to go around the can. It was the heavy-duty handheld can opener. I would greatly appreciate it if it was replaced.

Farberware can opener soft handle safety one - In the last 1-1/2, I have bought 3 of these can openers because I like the way they open. Well, I won't buy them anymore. The first 2 after a while just kept slipping. Now with this one which I like the best, a piece fell out of the bottom that holds the one wheel. I don't have money to throw away and with what I pay for them, they should last more than about 3 months.

I bought an entire kitchen's worth of cooking utensils, knife block, etc., from Farberware from various retailers and I have never been so disappointed. We purchased the 17-piece knife block, used one of the knives once to cut bread, and it was completely rusted out after the first wash. Just tonight, we were using a spatula to cook dinner and the plastic melted off into the food!

I purchased a set of knives, a cutlery set made by Farberware, at Wal-Mart. I hand washed the set and discovered rust spots. Okay, it happens. I returned the set and purchased a different set of Farberware cutlery - same results, rust spots on brand new (right out of the box). I returned these too, then went to Sears, and purchased a cutlery set that wasn't made by Farberware or made in China. I will never purchase any item or product made by Farberware. They may have made good products once upon a time, but now they made junk.
