inferior workmanship
By DoriLynn
My 1st 12-cup Farberware peculator was a gift from my brother to convince me that perked is better than drip. He convinced me with just 1 cup. He purchased the peculator for less than $30 in upstate NY and it lasted for more than 8 years. My 2nd Farberware peculator was less than $40 (bought at K-Mart) and lasted around 3 or 4 years. My 3rd Farberware peculator cost around $50 (bought at JCP) and lasted less than 2 years. My determination to buy a peculator that lasted as long as my first has just died along with my 4th and LAST Farberware peculator that cost me more than $60 (also bought at JCP). In between the 12-cup Farberware peculators I purchased over the year, I tried several other brands but kept coming back to Farberware. I love the sleek, classy sturdy structure of the 12-cup stainless steel design, but the heating element in this peculator keeps burning out way to quickly. I wish Farberware would make their peculators the way they used to 20 years ago because THEY WERE THE BEST and that's unfortunate.

I had had this percolater for a minimum of 6 years for longer,and it works perfectly brews quickly and stores with minimum space.I am currently looking to purchase another one, only because I gave mine to my son.This product is well worth every dime.The only difference is I had the 2-4 cup size.I believe you will be as pleased as I am.I kept it clean by percking water and white vinegar.

I have been using the Faberware 4-6 and 6-8 cup perculators for several years. They were once an excellent product. I will have a better idea of how good the Millenium is after several months (If it last that long). Initially, these perculators had two pronged plugs and you could get a pretty good jolt from them if you placed your hand on a metal sink and the other on the pot wiping it off as it started up. The new pots have a grounded plug making it a lot safer. I went so far as to change the receptacle to a ground fault detector just in case. These pots have a tendancy to fail rather quickly if used 2 to 4 times daily. I had one last year (A 6-8 cup) only last 2 months! I don't know what the difference is between the Millenium and the non-millenium. They have the same model number. A few days ago I noticed three different listings on Amazon for a 4-6 cup model with the same model number and three different prices from $41.00 to $70.00. The only difference was the word Millenium on one of them. All I can say about the pot is that it makes an excellent cup of coffee in 5 minutes. When I compared my old 4-6 cup to the new one, there was a noticeable difference in the quality.
