Farberware Reviews

With my arthritis, this hand held can opener looked very easy to use and didn't seem like it would cause me pain when opening. I detest electric can openers because they fail so easily and take up too much counter space on my small counters. Farberware has always been a high quality name in kitchenware products so I had no problems at all paying the $12 for it. However, after the second use, the teeth on the gear bent together. I discovered the metal is very soft, as I was able to pry the teeth apart to use it a third time.

Just read the other complaints about Farberware manual can openers. What a piece of **! You got me for ten bucks, but never again. Meier Foods is gonna hear about this also. They need to know what junk they are selling.

My Target brand manual can opener which I bought for $13 could not open cans completely. I had to use a serrated knife to complete opening. I got a cut on my hands and also got metal shards into the food. How can you make such a simple device unusable ?

Well, I thought it was just me. But after googling to see if anyone has had these same issues and reading other reviews, I've discovered I'm not the only one. Why doesn't Farberware know they have changed their products for the worse? It used to be a reliable long lasting brand. Now I've been through 2 can openers (resorting to the cheaply $1 one you find at the Dollar Store when they quit turning after limited use), 2 sets of knives and a spatula and measuring cups that handles just snapped. I am one that despises wasting money. So I'm not sure I will purchase another Farberware product again.

After limited use, the wire on the cheese slicer came off on one side. I loosened the screw on the right side of the slicer but the wire had actually broken and was no longer long enough to connect under the screw, which I presumed would be the only way to fix the problem. What on earth has happened to this once great company? I can't, in good conscience, buy Farberware products in the future. You've lost yet another customer.

I bought what I thought was a can opener that would "last" for a while but it didn’t. It was a hand held opener. I was using it when the black twist handle broke and would not turn the can to open it. I got pissed off and threw it in the trash and said to myself, I’ll never buy this crap again. What, a name like Farberware, can’t they stand behind their product and fix it or replace the crap that doesn’t work?!

Four weeks ago, I purchased Farberware manual can opener at the local Target. At fifteen dollars, I thought it was a bit pricey but it had such a nice ergo-friendly feel and heavy-duty appearance. I thought it would probably last me the rest of my life, especially since my mother has had one of those cheap, stamped out steel ones for over twenty years now and it still works fine. It's just not as nice looking or comfortable as the one I bought at Target. Of course, hers probably only cost about forty-nine cents. The opener was wonderful at first. Then the crank handle started spinning freely on the spindle and would not go around the can to open it. So, off to Target I went to get another just like it because I liked the way it felt and figured this failure was just a fluke. Anything can happen, right?

I bought a black soft handle can opener with the magnet on it a short time ago and it has been nothing but trouble after the first couple of weeks. The handle started slipping when you tried to use it and had to be redone over and over to get the can open and then it came off completely. It was $10 when I bought it and I got better use from an old cheap can opener I got at a yard sale for $0.50 several years ago. I used that old one for years without any trouble and then put it in the camper and I'm still using it there. Why is everything made like junk now and doesn't last long enough to hardly get it home from the store? We live on limited income and I can't afford to pay that big price for a piece of made in China, fall apart junk. Your warranty is no good if I have to pay to send it back and be without an opener for weeks. I had to go ahead and buy another cheap ($2) can opener at the store today and I'll bet it will last a lot longer than your $10 one did! I thought when I bought your can opener that your brand was really good and well made. Boy, was I wrong!

I've only had this can opener (number 0002413111863) for a couple of months and it won't work anymore. The small teeth that grip the can are completely ground off and it won't turn the can anymore. I paid ten dollars for it and I know that isn’t a lot of money to some people, but I'm on a budget and now I have to buy another can opener. I was really disappointed with this product. Please try and fix this problem or do away with this product altogether.

I purchased a Farberware knife set in a wood block, mostly because I've known Farberware to make quality cookware that I've owned since 1994. The knife set was purchased in December of 2011 and yesterday, July 2012, a steak knife broke where the metal joins the plastic handle. I expected the lifespan of a Farberware knife set to last much longer than 7 months. I followed the manufacturer's directions and "baby" these knives with hand washing instead of dishwasher cleaning. With that much care, the knives shouldn't be breaking 7 months after purchase.

I have 3 choices on my Farberware blender, pulse, one and two. Whatever I am blending, the motor is so strong, it explodes all over the kitchen. I have checked and double checked the top lid and it happens all the time. Has anyone experienced this? Is the 2 selection less forceful than one? I'm afraid to try.

I purchased a Farberware Potato Masher because of the name brand and it looked like it was well made. On the third use, the masher broke where the handle attaches to the base. The consumer is duped into thinking the item is strong because it is 3/4" x 3/8" at that point. Upon close examination when it broke, one can see that the actual thickness is only 1/2" x 5/16" plastic, with no metal reinforcement. As a Quality Control Engineer I can safely say, "They will all break at that point in time." If Farberware wants to throw away its name recognition by having "Made in China" stamped on the handle, okay. I will choose to buy a different brand!

I wanted you to know I bought a 3 piece set of your cookware (Farberware nonstick). It has to be the most dangerous cookware I have ever owned. The handles are heavier than the pan itself. The pan will tip and spill whatever you have in it and also slides off the burner. I'm not the only one that has this problem. I think you should take these off the shelves and replace them with lighter handles. If not, a child, adult or someone's house may catch on fire. Seriously, this is a problem. I forgot to inform you where I bought them. It was at Walmart in Corydon, IN. Thank you for listening.

On July 6th, we will celebrate our 55th anniversary. The two stainless steel pots are still the best cookware I have had in all these years. I have purchased more Farberware through the years and have gotten rid of many others that I had. I was married in Chicago where I was born, but have since moved to Arkansas for retirement.

We purchased two Farberware ice cream scoops and both broke in a short amount of time. The last one on the second use! I think you have a problem!

Farberware soft grip with magnet can opener (item # 5086675, UPC 2413117450), price $9.95 - I used it for 2 weeks before it broke. The plastic that attached the turning handle to gears cracked, making it totally unusable. Returning it postage prepaid to Farberware for a possible replacement is not economically feasible.

We bought a handheld can opener and it was broken when we took it off the package. We paid $11 for it. We took it back and bought another one. We used it 2 times and it broke also. We did not have the receipt this time and was not able to return it. The plastic part on both broke where the handle is attached. We ended up with no way that evening to open any cans.

I bought what I thought would be a good product made by Farberware - a stainless steel soap dish (or so I thought). It rusts. Who wants a soap bar full of rust? I will never buy anything else from Farberware again. Also, I bought one from Better Homes and Garden and, again, it’s full of rust. These were two name brands I thought you could trust. I won't make that mistake again. Both companies have lost my trust and my business.

What has happened to this fine company? I have purchased Farberware products because I felt they would be sturdy and would most certainly outlast any cheaper products. In the past year alone, I have purchased a stainless steel tea kettle which rusted out even though I drained it and wiped the inside out. Two hand can openers have just fallen apart within 6 months of purchase and finally ice cream scoops have even come apart when used on anything but the softest ice cream. I am dismayed and disappointed that Farber has gone the way of other "American" companies and is putting out inferior products.

I purchased a set of cookware. The paint is peeling off on my flattop stove, making it very hard to clean the surface. Maybe somewhere I have the paperwork, but I doubt it. Like everyone else, I see the name is no longer reputable. Also, one of the lids from a pan completely fell apart. What makes me the maddest is that I used Christmas money from my parents to purchase new pans - money that should not have been spent on garbage. I also did spend money on a can opener that fell apart.

Farberware knife set: I have knives that are not right now, for one of them have no tip on it anymore and the other has the tip bent and will soon break off. I have only had them for about 6 months. I for one thought they would last a little longer. I do so like them. But what gives with the point or tip? Thanks.

I had bought a Farberware can opener. After only a month, the handle broke off. I purchased another one thinking the first was defective, and now that one is breaking! I spent $11.00 on it! Never again will I buy any kitchen gadget from Farberware.

The plastic handle of a Farberware tea pot (5.1/2" diameter X 3" height) broke at the length of the screw. The pot is very good but the quality of the handle was found defective. Fortunately, no one was injured by hot tea. Why don't we get a free replacement for this expensive pot?

I bought the can opener for about $10.00 thinking it would be a good, solid can opener that would not hurt my hands when using. The can opener stopped working after about 15 uses. It does not grip the cans properly and does not move around the can. It would cost the same amount to mail it back to you as to its cost, so there is no recourse except to not buy your products anymore.

I bought an opener, it cost me $4.00, and the darn thing does not work. I will buy a new different one from a different company!

I was given a new percolator as a gift. Everyone who knows me knows I love my coffee and I loved my Farberware percolator. It is only 6 months old (my last one was 11 years old). It sounds like it is percolating but comes out looking like dirty water. I am very upset. With all the new gadgets, I still loved my electric perc!

I purchased a cutlery set that was advertised on The Today Show with Jill's Deals. The knives are rusting at the point where the handle and blade meet. Also, when I used the paring knife to cut an ice cream loaf, the knife broke. I would like the set replaced if possible.

I have owned and used two sets of Farberware pots and pans for over 40 years with complete satisfaction. Recently, I purchased two Farberware plastic spatulas that melted upon first use. After reading the reviews on this site, I realized that the Farberware name now stands for crap rather than quality as in yesteryear.

Obviously, Farberware is no longer a brand that means quality. After reading many reviews, I realized I, too, was duped into thinking Farberware meant quality. I purchased a Farberware handheld can opener about two months ago at Wal-Mart. Yesterday, it worked; today, it does not. It just spins around. I could not feed my dog until I got another can opener. It seems it is neither worth the trouble contacting Farberware nor is it a good idea to buy a Farberware replacement!

I purchased a can opener about 6 weeks ago. I had only used it about 5 times when it broke. Of course, I did not save the packaging or receipt because I didn't expect this to happen. I went back to Walmart and read the back of the package. It said to mail the can opener back and it will be replaced free. The problem is it will cost as much as the can opener to mail it so I will be paying twice. It was the portable can.

We bought this set of knives from Farberware and shortly after we bought them, they started rusting! We thought this name brand was top quality, but we will never buy anything from this brand again.

I bought a set of Farberware knives from Walmart in March of 2012. I paid $59.99 for them and I've only had them for 2 months and they are already starting to rust. I am very displeased with this. I've paid all this money for them just for them to rust. I'm out of 60 dollars plus the knives that I'm going to have to replace.

I bought a black manual can opener that only worked 2 times and now won't grip the edge of the can to cut into it. I didn't keep the receipt. I didn't think a can opener would be this cheap. I won't buy their products anymore.

I've been using this 5" utility knife by Farberware (never needs sharpening) for about 1-2 years before the blade just broke off while cutting! I was very happy with it until the blade just broke off from the handle, nearly missing my fingers! Scrolling through all of the complaints, I can probably deduce, despite the Lifetime Written Warranty, that a replacement or a refund is out of the question. Yes, I'm miffed!

I purchased 2 "heat resistant rubber spatulas." I love using them for everything while I bake and cook, especially doing scrambled eggs in a Teflon pan. I do not want to have to check to see which spatula is heat resistant and am in the process of replacing all my spatulas.

About 2 years ago, I decided to treat myself to some new better quality cookie sheets. I had used my old aluminum ones for 30 years and they were looking horrible. So I went to Kohl's and debated over the many choices I had, deciding on the Farberware 11x17 inch cookie pans because they looked nice, had a nonstick finish and I figured the name was a trusted, well-known name. I bought 2 and they were expensive. The first time I used them, my cookies burned. Then I made brownies a few weeks later and figured I must watch them closer. They burned on the bottom and didn't get done on the top! I have tried them now and then over the past 2 years, thinking that I must be doing something wrong. Fortunately, I had saved my old ones so I could use them.

I purchased a short Teflon Farberware spatula. The Teflon on the edge of the spatula is peeling and when hot and being used, the Teflon comes off in hard pieces in the food I am preparing!

I went and bought a Farberware can opener with the soft flexible grips. I used it 3 times with no problem then the plastic handle stripped off, fell apart and could not be used again. I paid $10 plus tax for it. I then went and bought another Farberware can opener for $10 plus tax. This time I bought one that cut around the edge of the can lid. It worked for about 2 weeks and then it wouldn’t cut the can all the way around, only in spots, right in the middle of making dinner. Because my fiancée was in the middle of making dinner, I had to use a pair of pliers to tear the lid off of the can. Ridiculous! Now we are without a can opener and out $20 plus tax. I will never ever buy another Farberware product again because of this.

I had to return the "lifetime warranty" paring knife at our cost to get a replacement. It took 6 weeks (They said 4-6.) to get a replacement. It was well-wrapped in bubble wrap, more wrap, and in a large box. And when I unwrapped the knife, the top plastic filler was already cracked at the end next to the blade! I called customer service, and because I had photos, the woman said to email custserv@farberware.com, which I did. I included the photos of both knives and our customer info. The email came back "mailer daemon" as undeliverable. The call center (including another number she gave me) is now closed, and I'll have to wait till Monday (I may be unavailable all next week).

I was using Farberware can opener with my mother when I noticed that the handle became very hard to turn. The gears do not line up, and I can't open cans with a piece of equipment that was supposed to have had a 10-year warranty. I need to know where to send it back in to because we've only had it for a month, and it's already stopped working.

I just bought a 12-piece Farberware cookware set, got it home, and discovered that the 2-quart pan lid was missing. I packed it back up, took it back to the store, but they did not have any other sets in black left. I kept the set, but would really like to get a lid for my pan. Can you help?

I need to find out where I can send my Farberware knife to get it replaced. The tip broke off. It has never ever happened.

The can opener unit is very difficult to turn. Two-geared wheels do not line up. The whole unit is a total waste of money.

I have had your knife set for a little under a year now. I loved them at first, very proud of them. Then they started getting rust spots on them. I thought they were just spots on the surface and nothing to worry about. Today, I was using a steak knife to cut a mini corn dog, which does not have the stick in them. The knife snapped, flew up in the air, and landed just a couple of feet away from my child. They are rusted all the way through on the inside and these are supposed to be stainless steel. I tried to locate the knife block set on your website but was not able to find them. Anything you can do regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated.

I purchased a handheld can opener that opens the can from the side. I used it for about 3 weeks, and the small round pin has fallen out. I cannot get it back in. It has very poor quality for the price. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This may seem trivial but I have purchased 3 of your $6 to $8 dollar can openers. Two have gone in the trash and the third is well on its way after about 2 months. At first, I thought maybe it was my fault somehow but now I know they are just cheap crap. I could have bought three $1 openers and still have 2 left. I just had to vent but would never recommend.

Farberware can opener: I have used it about three times. While opening a can, it stripped the gears and is no longer operable. Since it was the only one in the house, I had to skip the bean salad. I guess I'm not the only one who will no longer buy Farberware.

I recently purchased a Farberware kitchen knife set. After using it for less than three weeks, the knives are now rusting. Farberware is "tarnishing" their good reputation by buying cheap products from China. They may be saving a few bucks in the short term, but it will cost them in sales losses in the long term. I am very disappointed and will not be buying products from them any longer.

Every time before I use my 3 quart pot, I have to tighten the handle screw since this has been happening so often. Now the screw’s hole is stripped.

Frying pan, can opener, coffee pot and rebate: I have been using Farberware products for many years. I received deep 10" or 12" pan set as a gift one year. I used it for my vegetables and such. It has the nonstick surface inside. After just a while, it started peeling inside the bottom of the skillet which would flake off and be mixed in with the vegetables. I called your company after trying to find the receipt. I was told to send the whole skillet back to you, guys, and you would look at it and tell me if I would be able to get me another one.

I had bought 2 full sets of pots and pans to give as Christmas presents to my mom and my sister. Both have only been using them since about the first of the year 2012. Both have used the pots and pans on a regular basis, and not in an abusive manner. Both sets are having the paint chip and peel off the outsides.

Paula Deen Red Tea Enamel Tea Kettle: I was heating water for tea on my stove. When the water boiled, I lifted the kettle off the stove and the handle detached, spilling hot water all over the stove and the floor. No one was hurt but to think that could have severely scalded someone is unconscionable. I will not use it anymore and have since purchased another kettle.

On 7-23-11, I purchased a kitchen knife, and yesterday when I was cutting cabbage, it broke slightly up the handle from the blade. It apparently is cracked in half inside the handle, and it is no longer usable. The item number is fsguk022p. It is a 5 inch utility knife, and has a "lifetime limited warranty". I can mail it back to you if necessary, so you can see it has not been abused, and is in excellent condition with the exception of the break inside. Please let me know what your company is going to do about it.

I bought 2 and when I took sticker with Farberware name, I can't get the remaining glue off. I have put them in dishwasher several times but still, it doesn't take the glue off. So they are of no use to me unless I want all the food I use them for to stick to the spatulas or have glue in my food. I more or less wasted my money on something I can't use. I would like to have them replaced if possible, without the stickers. One is short handled and other is long handled with no slots.

FSS344 electrical skillet - Whenever I fry in the skillet, the food being prepared sticks to the bottom of the pan. I use Wesson and other cooking oils, as well as coating the pan with the commercial sprays, but nothing seems to help. Is there something on the market that will cure this problem, or is it the skillet?

I purchased a 6-cup percolator in October 2011. In January 2012, it started tripping the circuit breaker in our kitchen every time we plugged it in. I can't purchase a new cord, but I took it to a repair shop. They tested the cord and said it was fine. So it has to be the percolator. It cost me $49.99 and lasted 3 months. I feel it should be replaced by the company.

I got a Farberware food processor for Christmas. I used the slicing blade for the second time on 3/8/2012. The blade separated from the center hub. It is made of cheap plastic. I had to finish slicing potatoes by hand. If I wanted to cut things by hand, I would have never asked for this machine. As I have become disabled and this machine was to make things easier. And it didn't. I will tell everyone I know not to buy this piece of junk.

I bought a 15pc Farberware stainless steel cookware for $89.99 with $30.00 rebate. It was a Christmas gift so I didn't get the rebate form till it was opened Christmas day. Problem had to be postmarked by 12/26 holiday postal service closed. Coincident they chose that date. Just maybe so they didn't have to pay. Its bad enough that the Farberware isn't even worth the $59.99 never mind the $89.99 since they refused my rebate. I'll make sure this appears on the internet so other people won't get screwed like me. Sounds like a scam, jack the price up and don't pay the rebates. Do you have any job openings, I like making money too?

I got two can openers and both of them lasted only about one month and then stopped working. I got a different brand and it works fine for over a year. I got a set of knives with a wood block to hold them. Within 5 months the handles started to break off. Now, almost all the handles have broken in the same place. Now, my cheese slicer broke while cutting soft cheese at the handle. As far as I can see, they sell junk at high prices and I am now recommending to all my friends and anyone else: don’t buy Faberware. I can’t even find a website for the company. I believe that they sell junk at inflated prices and I believe it would be better for us to spend our money more wisely.

The utility knife, 5 1/2 inch handle, comes off all the time.

Farberware Can Opener - have bought 3 of these damn can openers in the last 6 months and they only last about a month. They stop turning and opening the can and it's frustrating. I say you take your product off the market and improve it or shut your doors, cause your can openers suck **!

I have a Farberware stainless steel pan. For the last few weeks or so, every time I used the pan I would smell a burnt plastic smell. I would look the pan over really well and could never see where the smell was coming from. Today, I was making soup in it and it really started to smell bad. When I took the pan off the burner, there was a blue waxy substance on the stovetop under the pan. I have no idea what this substance is that came off my pan.

I bought new opener, worked fine for about two weeks, now does not open. It will penetrate can but will not turn and open can.

The internal metal cutting cylinder is fixed to the plastic handle by means of small tabs (5 or 6), and these do not secure the cutter into the housing, as they just bend, rendering the device useless. Fixing the tabs is a waste of time, as they just break off next time. It was noted that the device was made in China, and it's obviously cheap and cheerful but not fit for the purpose. My only action is to trash unit and buy another make.

Always used a Farberware percolator and never had problems until my old one stopped working and purchased the new style. It keeps tripping my breakers and does not make a good cup of coffee. I am very dissatisfied and will never purchase another one. Seems like people are having similar problems. Is it a defect? Purchased one from Amazon and one from Bed Bath & Beyond and still like working properly.

Bought at Wal-Mart last week (2/2/12). Third time using today and the handle broke into many pieces while opening a can of soup. Incidentally, can was not bent! Part of this black piece of plastic hit my hubby in the face. Fortunately he had his glasses on. No bleeding. I would like a new can opener as soon as possible.

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

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

I purchased a microwave, conventional oven, dishwasher, stove, and exhaust fan - an entire suite of Faberware for my kitchen. My microwave is not working. I gave a complaint on January 17, and did a daily follow up on through phone. No one came to provide service even after 15 days of repeated follow ups. I am planning to throw every product of Faberware out of my kitchen and buy some other company's product. People warned me about their poor service in India, but I didn't listen. This is bad service.

This is the 2nd Farberware 4-6 cup superfast percolator that has broken on me after owning it for less than 1 year. The prongs that go into the cord have pulled out on one and disappeared into the body of the percolator on the other. Once that happens, there is nothing that can be done. I see from reading others complaints, I'm not the alone. These are too expensive to break like this and I agree that the older models are much better made (we have a 12 cup that has been working for over 5 years). I have both of the broken Farberwares and will happily send them back to management so they can see how shoddy their over price makers really are.

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

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

Two Farberware soft grip safety can openers were purchased, one in September 2011 and one in October 2011 which supposedly have a lifetime limited warranty. Needless to say, 4 months later, neither of them will open a single can. They have both turned out to be totally worthless. It would be extremely rewarding to see companies fined for all the junk products produced that fill our landfills.

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

This is my 3rd set of Faberware cook pan/utensil & it also comes with cooking sheet. I bought it from Kohl's. The color has peeled off each set. I feel this company has is reputable. I will never buy Farberware again. I only has this 3rd set for 2 weeks. I hope this message is viewed by someone who can help settle this.

I bought a Rotary Grater 83443-93 in September 2011, and now defunct. The metal grating cylinder attached to the plastic handle no longer captives as the metal attachment tabs twist off from the handle, hence does not grate. It's totally useless as it does not grate cheese. I am ready to throw it away!

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

In the past year, I have had to purchase 2 Faberware hand held can openers. They are not cheap. On both occasions, the plastic handle just snapped off. I still have the second one in my possession. This is a household of 2 adults no children. I am very disappointed in your product. I was an avid Faberware shopper but now very dissatisfied with your product.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I received a Farberware 2-4 cup percolator as a gift in November 2010. After 4 months of normal use (once per day), the handle fell off. It appears that the handle was barely tack-welded to the coffee pot. I don't see how this flimsy attachment could ever have stood up to a normal level of use. This can't be repaired with a replacement part due to the welding issue. What a shame, another great American company destroyed.

I purchased a cutlery set on Christmas of 2009. By July, one of the knives had broken. I contacted Farberware's customer support department that is listed on their website and had a prompt response on where to mail the broken knife. A replacement would be returned back to us. We were told it may not be an exact replacement due to what was still available and that it might take 6-8 weeks.

I have used a set of Farberware cookware for over 30 years. I have loved it and had no problems until recently when the bottom of my 2-quart saucepan began to separate, causing a sharp area to develop. Also, the handle is beginning to wobble and I don't have a tool that will tighten it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I purchased a new Farberware coffee percolator after the old one stopped working. (The old unit was a solid and well-designed. It lasted 8 years.) I purchased a new unit and noticed the plug was redesigned. After 6 months of use, the plug broke. I thought it was a fluke. I bought another Farberware pot, and within 3 months, the same thing happened again.

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

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

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

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

Two of the steak knives are rusted and can no longer be used. My question is where do I go to complain? The store says "Farberware", but the internet gives me no information on what to do. Can you help? Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

I bought a Farberware knife set from Meijer's on Norton and Henry in Muskegon Michigan, less than six months ago. The knife set has started to rust. I am a fan of Farberware cutlery, but I am really disappointed in this particular set which is stainless and Black Onyx Handle.

Sent for $20 rebate with all appropriate materials. Returned to Sender by US Postal Service, dated 6/2/2010, box closed, unable to forward. Checked address on rebate form, it was correct. How can I get my rebate?

I was given a Farberware model FSCM100 for a Christmas gift. I used it once then stored it in my storage. We have family party one day and tried to make coffee for my guest and the unit doesn't work. It turns on but it doesn't heat up or drip coffee, a piece of junk end up in my garbage can. Embarrassing to my guest trying to explain to them the the unit was working and only been use once now it doesn't work.

Everyone in my family has used only Farberware and another brand of cookware. We have always loved them because of their quality. Their lifetime guarantee is a good thing also. That is until recent years. I never really trusted or cared for coated pots and pans, but one day while looking for a wedding gift I bought two sets of coated cookware that had both pots and pans and that gave $20 rebates for each; one set for the gift and the other for myself. After all, I couldn't go wrong, they were Farberware.

Cutlery sharp knife silverware. While cutting strong cheese, piece came flying out of the very top of the knife handle.This caused the knife blade to kick back out of the handle itself. Nobody hurt, but piece's of plastic in handle flew out.

In March of 2010, I ordered and received a Farberware model FCP 240. I have been using Farberware for many years. I have several eight copper. I never had a problem, but this morning while I was plugging the cord in, the handle came off of my hand.

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

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

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

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

I became a widow at 24 yrs of age with two babies and one of the things I was able to do with the life insurance was buy a box of Farberware pots and pan. It was a 3 pan, $30.00 dollar investment. That was in 1980 and in 2002 the bottom separated from the rest of the pan on my 2 qt. I remarried in 1995 and my new husband was cooking and all of a sudden he noticed that the pan separated. It was a hard time in our lives. We were even homeless at one point, but I kept the pan in my storage area. I was confident that when I got back on my feet that one day, Farberware would replace it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a non complaint about the company. I will admit that in 2002 and 2003 I went through the same circus with Frank B and Connie in Berwick, PA as Jay and many others in this column. I eventually got all my pans returned, re-coated. I even returned one for re-coating during this time. However, it's a new day and dawn of Farberware. In 2007, I returned the Millennium cookware again for re-coating, but this time, after a phone call to an independent source, I obtained information on returning my cookware directly to Farberware in Vallejo, CA.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I purchased a 13-piece Farberware pot set that had a $20.00 rebate. I mailed it out to the address given on the rebate, and it was mailed back to me. The rebate address was no longer in effect. So I came on this website to see, and lo and behold, others were having the same problem I was having.

I received a Farberware Superfast coffee pot for Christmas 2008. About a month ago, the coffee was not hot like it should be. Then coffee started to be very light. Yesterday, the base of the pot was very hot, but the pot itself was cold and coffee did not percolate.

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

I contacted Farberware letting them know that I got a set of pots and pans for Christmas. I used the dutch oven for stew and the cover of the pan started peeling when I washed it! They told me to send it back to them to let them determine if it was my fault or if it is a faulty product. I called the place where my husband purchased these pots and pans. They told me to return the product to the store and they would give me a refund. So if anyone else has a problem with their Farberware, I would suggest taking it back to the store for a refund and buy a different product. I've used Farberware in the past and really surprised at the products they have on the market today.

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

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

Rebate offer for $20 on Farberware pots and pans came back as undeliverable. Item was bought because of $20 rebate; otherwise, I would have purchased a different brand.

I mailed the rebate form for Farberware sets the $20 mail-in rebate. It was returned as non-deliverable, also the phone number was disconnected. The Meyercorp.rebatestatus.com was a bogus site. However, I looked at other people who wrote into Consumer Affairs.com and got the right phone number. The nice lady at rebate, 1-800-214-8369, was very polite and explained that the rebate processor went bankrupt and was no longer handling the rebates. She then gave me the appropriate address: Velocity, P.O. Box 22178, Tempe, AZ 85285-2178. Then to track the rebate, call 1-800953-3098. Also, put Farberware Rebate on the outside of the envelope.

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

I bought an 8-cup Farberware coffee percolator 3 months ago, and it has already quit working. I tried to get in touch, but all correspondences were returned. I paid about $60.00 for the thing, and it turns out to be a piece of junk.

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

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

The rebate came back marked as "Not Deliverable as Addressed" and I am unable to forward it.

I bought a Farberware Millennium Coffee Pot. The cord had a short inside. The cord was not cut or damaged. I called Farberware (you can reach them at 1888-881-8101) and they said to return the plug and they would send me a new pot. I did not want a pot just a cord. I did get a new pot (seems to be working fine, have it for 3 months). I called to order a new cord so I could use the second pot. Farberware informed me that they do not sell the plug as a replacement part. They don't know if they will ever sell the plug. I find this very strange.

I purchased a spatula (orange with wooden handle) by Farberware from Wal-Mart. I no longer have the receipt to bring it back. However, by accident, the handle pulled out from the silicone spatula section; and lo and behold, the wooden handle was covered with mold as was the inside of the silicone spatula. I have never had a spatula that pulled apart. There is no complaint address or number that I can find on the internet, just complaints from people regarding Farberware. What a shame. It used to be the tops in cookware. Oh well, America is known as a throw-away society; and once again, Farberware proves that statement right. Canada, for example, would not buy that product again. It didn't last.

I've had the cute, little pot-bellied pots since the 1980s. I loved them. Since they've gone to the three-pronged cord, I've had two and they only work if I am standing there holding the top of the pot and the cord. Is Farberware aware of customer dissatisfaction? Since I've had two, it can't be me.

I have been a loyal Farberware consumer for almost 30 years. I have pots and pans that I have been using for 15 years that I still love. But I am now deeply disappointed with the coffee percolator. I had one for about 20 years that finally gave out. I purchased a new one that lasted only about 3 years. It would "re-perk" the coffee after the initial cycle was done. So, I bought another new one, believing that it was just a one time mistake and trusting the Farberware name. Now that "new" one has also failed. It leaks. I shall now be looking at other brands, I am sorry to say. No physical harm was done, but my trust in what had been a "decent and honorable" company has been seriously eroded. Can we not trust any of these major producers of consumer products?

I purchased a cake pan because I needed one that did not stick. However, the pan stuck things so badly that I ended up with crumbs. I think I am due a refund from this company.

I was using a Farberware pot. The aluminum that holds together the stainless steel bottom, melted, causing the bottom to fall off as I lifted the pot. The aluminum fell on the stove/floor and on my feet, which got severely burned. I am not happy. I didn't even know that a pan could melt. There should be a warning. I got 3rd degree burns/severe blisters on my feet.

I purchased Farberware with $40.00 rebate. I sent the form in January 2009. To date, 6/24/09, I still have not received my rebate.

This was almost a new pot with very little use. I still have the receipt. No Farberware contacts available anywhere! The power cord exploded and burned my stomach and countertop. I had to go to the hospital to be treated for burns. I have the hospital report and photos of my burns and photos of the burned countertop.

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