Farberware's attractive and intelligently designed cordless percolator combines "cup-a-minute" coffee brewing with serving portability and smart features. Its durable stainless-steel body, with a high-polish finish, strong stay-cool handle, and see-through top, fits securely on the base and rotates for easy lifting. Cup measurements are stamped discreetly on the side of the container. The plug-in percolating base is circular, with the heat element toward the back and the tidy timer and power switches at the front. Set a brew time with a programmable clock/timer, or percolate immediately. The base of the percolator plugs in, but the pot itself is cordless for easy, freewheeling serving. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
Something old (the classic percolator design and function) and something new (the ability to delay brewing until the time you program) give this coffeemaker the best of both worlds. If you like your coffee strong you may enjoy the way the percolator recirculates water through the grounds repeatedly. The cordless design allows you to pour easily and conveniently.

 don't recommend April 14, 2008

This percolator is a great idea, however ours has gone "on the fritz" twice. It just stopped working. The first time we sent it back for repair. The second time it got put into the cupboard. Each time we had to go back to our old, reliable, percolator.
 Work,s great November 10, 2007

It broke after 3 month,s. The timer. I called them up and they sent me another one right away. The one i have now is perfect.

I bought this percolator because it was the only one I could find with automatic shut-off. Within one month of owning it, it stopped heating. Believing in the product (when it is good, it is very, very good) and happy with the coffee-making speed, the temperature (hot!), the ease of use, I sent it in for a replacement. Of course, I had to pay to send the machine back. Then it took 6 weeks for a new one to come!!! By this time I had replaced this machine with a really old-fashioned stovetop version. There is no danger of leaving that one plugged in.
The product is great when it works, but the company is WAY less than accomodating. They should provide some sort of compensation for the headaches. They do realize they are dealing in coffee makers, right? Who can be without her coffee maker for 6 weeks?

I have had this percolator for about a year-- actually a bit less than a year. We've been very happy with it. The coffee it makes is delicious, and the convenience of being free from the cord is great. One complaint is that I did find the little blinking signal dash hard to see, so it is difficult to tell whether or not the pot is still warming. I would have preferred a light.
Yesterday the little bulb at the top broke off. Luckily I had an old GE percolator (which had lasted only about two months), still in my pantry. And luckily its lid fits my Farberware. Otherwise we'd be drinking instant today. The moral of this story is: Keep your old appliances for parts. Now if my luck holds out, ACE Hardware will still carry those little glass bulbs that I used to buy for my coffee pots years ago. But if not, I guess a hybrid isn't so bad.

I love percolators and wanted one with a timer. This is not it. The timer is hard to set and read.The display is at an odd angle and does not facilitate easy reading. It is difficult to tell whether the pot is done brewing or not. There is no way to adjust the strength of the brew.
