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.

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

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.

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 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 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?

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

I recently used a Farberware Meat Thermometer inserted in the thickest part of an oven stuffer roaster chicken. The chicken was baked as usual with an oven setting of 350F for about 2 hours. When I opened the oven door to inspect the chicken, I noticed that the glass window of the Farberware Meat Thermometer had shattered into hundreds of shards of glass. The sharp glass shards shattered into the chicken, vegetables and bottom of the oven. This episode ruined our chicken dinner, which I had to discard! As a result I had to purchase prepared food at a nearby caterer to feed my guests. I had used the same Farberware Meat Thermometer many times before without incident. Apparently, this particular Farberware Meat Thermometer is defective.

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

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

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

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

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

The incidents also blew my circuit breakers as they should but not not brfore burning me on my hands and face. Thought it was a fluke with the first pot until it happened again.

I expect no recourse from Farberware as they only said they would replace it if I sent it back. I don't want it. I will never purchase Farberware again. We have an old set of Farberware pots and pans (32 years) which are of the highest quality and perfect in every way. The latest items were all made in China. My conclusion? Now Farberware sells shoddy merchandise made in a third world country with inept workers and not much quality control.

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

I called reference a warranty fix on my Farberware percolator and Farberware-electric's never returned my message.

Instead Bonnie wrote e-mails to me asking what I wanted, but her return address is bogus. No emails get through.

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

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

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

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

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

Farberware advertises as the oldest manufacturer of pots and pans. But go on their website and try to find out where you can purchase parts for their products -- it is a nightmare. I would like to buy about a dozen handles for their pots but they are nowhere to be found. Yes, there is a website that allegedly has them but are out of order. Since Farberware doesn't even have a user-friendly email system, you can't ask them where to get their handles. I will never buy a Farberware product again since their service is practically nonexistent.
