Customer Reviews for Frigidaire 12-Cup Coffee Maker-DISCONTINUED

I loved it for the 16 months that it worked.....then it just quit working!!! The only reason I gave it 1 star is because I did like it while it did work. I don't make a lot of money but I thought that spending a little extra would be worth it....now my hard earned money is wasted!!!

How exactly do you make something of such poor quality? It just stopped working. No indication as to why. I have been meticulous about cleaning and simply using it to brew coffee. You press "brew" and nothing happens. Normally I would thing maybe I just got a bad egg but logging on here to see if anyone else has had this problem and find 35 other reviews that say the same thing tells me we just have a bad product. Note I'm writing this at 6:50 am without coffee.....time to break out the old melita filter and pot and brew the way my parents did....

This is not a way to start the morning. I have had this coffee less than a year. The lights are on but it stopped brewing. Also there is some corrosion around the lid. So strange. Not happy that I have to buy a new one already.

I purchased this on 01 Feb 2014 the first pot of coffee was Luke Warm! The filter does not filter. Coffee is my only vice, I am very sad! :(

I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 O THESE COFFEE POTS WITHIN A 9 MONTH TIME PERIOD. WHEN IT WORKS IT IS MAGNIFICENT! JUST DOESN'T LAST.

Purchased this coffee maker in March 2013 and now in November it has stopped brewing. The last pot, which was made for guests, was barely warm. The next pot would not perk at all. Frigidaire was once a good product, what happened?

I have 4 of these sitting in my garage dead all lasted less than a year. Any where from 3 to 6 months tops. Don't buy this machine!

this is our second one, first one quit after 11 months, fridgidaire sent a replacment and that quit today. Same problem as the other reviews. The lights are on but no one is home. Time to buy a Mr.Coffee.

The coffee is OK but an inch of water stays in the reservoir, That can't be very sanitary. Also, the pot is impossible to empty completely. I have no idea how the more technical aspects work so I cannot comment on that. If there was a product features booklet, I have lost it.

I have had this coffee maker for less than a year and as many of the other reviews have said, it stops working before 1 year passes. For such an expensive coffee maker, I would have expected a longer lifespan. The coffee machine still turns on and has power to it, but it just refuses to brew coffee.

Third time is not the "charm". Set the timer last night, went to the kitchen this morning and NOTHING! This is the 3rd coffee maker and the same issue. Power on but, NO COFFEE! Time to end the Frigidaire Coffee maker experience. Like other posts the Carafe also leaks when you pour your coffee.

I have so many issues with this coffee pot. First, the coffee maker leaked when you removed the pot mid-brew in spite of the brew pause feature. I used my warrantee and was sent a replacement maker. The new maker doesn't leak but it beeps to indicate it's done brewing when it's still brewing with about 5 minutes to go. When I brew a full 12 cup pot I get only 10 cups and have to add water at the end of the brew cycle while is spews steam at me. And there's the hole in the back to prevent over filling so you can add extra water to compensate at the beginning. How they could not have figured that you need to add more water to compensate for evaporation is beyond me. Then, after about 5 months the change filter message came on so I ordered a 12 pack of filters. I changed the filter the message went away a brewed a second pot and the message came back on. I even unplugged the pot to reset the system. All that did was make me have enter the time and my preferences again. I thought maybe it was the filter so I changed it again same result. So now I'll never know when the filter needs to be replaced.

I have used this coffeemaker religiously for the last seven or eight months. This morning, I went to get my coffee (it was on an automatic timer) and NOTHING. It SAID it was brewing the coffee, but it wasn't doing anything. I checked the machine. Unplugged it. Replugged it. Emptied the water. Refilled it. Nothing. I can't figure out how to make it work again. Now, after reading the reviews, I am realizing I will have to get myself a new one. I am beyond upset.

Just thought I would confirm what everybody else is saying. Bought mine last November, here in May it just stopped working. Turns on, shows brewing cycle has begun - but NaDa. What a waste of money!

I generally like the design and feature set of the coffee maker. But, any home appliance that fails in normal use in less than a year is unacceptable. In the case of my coffee maker, I filled it with water and coffee per instructions and then pressed the start button. As I finished my juice and English muffin, I arose to get my coffee. but the carafe was empty with the brew indicator still on. No manner of plugging, unplugging etc., helped.

Like others, I really liked this coffee maker but the pump died after a few months. There is clearly some kind of defect in the manufacture of these pumps but they will probably just issue a new model with the same problem. Shame, it is nice looking and brews good coffee.

The old saying is "Stupidity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". Well, call me stupid, I just turned in my second one for a third one. The first one lasted four months, the second lasted three months. Works well for awhile, then it quits. Also, I tried to register the warranty online, and it wanted a valid model number and serial number, which I had entered!

The coffeemaker was working for the first use in the morning and it will not work for the second pot. Bought in June 2012 and the warranty is pretty much useless - as is the coffeemaker now. And the carafe's break with the slighest tap on a hard surface.

Great looking, makes very good and hot coffee but only lasted about 6 months. What a shame.

I am disappointed from this maker... After few months, it started to leave water in the dispenser... Resulting in sour tasting coffee.... And the time to brew one cup of coffee is now over 30-minutes.... I do not recommend this maker...

I was given this coffe pot as a gift in April. I was very pleased with it....my coffee tasted great! Unfortunately, the coffee maker only lasted approximately 6 months. The front dial lights up but the water does not heat nor does it get pumped up to brew. I have read a couple reviews describing this exact problem. Needless to say, I will not buy another one. 6 months is too short of a life span for a coffeemaker which is used once per day. Sorry Frigidaire!

I love this coffee maker. I had a different brand coffee maker for 10 years and then it pooped out on me. I was bummed that I was forced to have to find a replacement. Well, now I am pleased my previous (other brand) coffee maker died. The taste of my coffee has improved, easy to use and clean, and it looks great! A little tall and barely fits underneath my kitchen cabinet, but I could not be more pleased with this product. Great job Frigidaire. I highly recommend this coffee maker.

Like others reviews, my coffe maker didn't last. I love the features and the design, but quality, they need to work on that.

The coffee maker makes great coffee, very flavorfull. However, the lid kept coming off the hinge after only a few uses. Despite really good coffee, I returned this for a refund. The coffee maker didn't last a week in my home. Frigidaire has a good idea, but took a few short-cuts that make the coffee maker a no-go.

This was decent while it lasted. (I liked the controls for temperature and strength.) But all of a sudden, it stopped working. Very frustrating because I bought it earlier this year.

I needed to replace my Mr. Coffee and looked extenxively for a quality Coffee brewer. After doing many comparisons of the poular brands, I stumbled upon the Frigidaire model. The Frigidaire model caught my eye with its styling and the extra, but easy to use functions. My first cup was amazing and opened my eyes to what a true cup of home brwewd coffee should taste like. I only buy the organic coffee, and the brewing process of the Frigidaire brought out all of the flavors in a Peruvian bean. My only complaint is that the hinge on the lid weakened after a mont, and doesnt stay open by itself. A monor inconvienence for a great cup of joe. Moderately priced and well worth the money. Thanks Frigidaire, for adding this much needed appliance to your list of products

I bought my second Frigidaire Coffee Maker in May, 2012. The previous one lasted 4 months and died in April. Since I loved it (while it worked) I decided to take a chance on a new one. Unfortunately, this one died in the same way. (The display still lights up but coffee is not pumped and not heated.) When I looked at customer reviews (including at least one at this site) I discovered many people experiencing the same defect. I hope Frigidaire figures out the problem with this unit and fixes it. Until then, please be warned that you may experience bad reliability.

I've never been happy with any of the various coffee makers we've owned,until we bought this model.I love the way it looks,performs well and is easy to use. A few days ago,it failed to produce any coffee.The display indicates brewing like normal,and you can hear the usual faint clikcing noise(thermostat or relay clicking on/off I'm assuming?),but the burner plate doesn't get hot and apparently the water isn't being heated either,as it doesn't get pushed up the tube into the drip head. Hopefully this is not a common problem,but I'd have a hard time buying another or recommending it.

Well, I've finally give up on the Bunn coffee makers, after about 10 years of returning about 5. This time around I choose this new coffee maker and I love it. It's quick to brew and the coffee taste great. Loving my morning coffee. Thanks

I just wanted to give an update on my past review "Drips". I was contacted by the company with them expressing their concern for my issue. I was asked to contact their Small Appliance Dept. where I spoke with the kindest Representative. She apologized for my problems and assured me that they would send me a replacement pot right away. I received my replacement in about a week and it's perfect! No drips! I am very happy I called and very happy with the response of the company!!! Thanks!
