We have not had any complaints on this item and I don't recall any returns. It is made in China.

I have had mine for a few months. So far it has held up nicely. I can see only one spot where it looks like the lid and the base rubbed up against each other. But the rest is looking very good.

I agree with exchanging it. Mine has no scratches, and we have been using it over a year, so there must be something wrong with yours. Sorry.

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

As others have said there is a coating inside the can. I have not noticed any flaking of the material (I do check every once in a while) but I cannot say for sure if will flake or not. I do have a few dents in some of the cans but the lining is still intact but YMMV.

I haven't noticed any denting at all. It does get marked up easily with hand prints, etc, but that's easily remedied with Windex or Method cleaning spray. Love this piece. Very functional!

I've had mine a little over a year. It arrived without a single scratch and is a pure copper bowl. The finish on it is still perfect. It doesn't sound like the bowl you got is at all like mine. Can you return or exchange it?

Hi, My in-laws have this product and we use it quite frequently. I don't know how long they have it but it is definitely a few years. I am currently wanting to get one because it gets a little embarrassing to constantly stop by to borrow the hot pot. It appears the one from my-laws does not have the problem with the scratches like the one that you are describing. We uses the wooden spoons or bamboo made drainers most of them. I don't remember if we uses anything metal during the course of our usage. Perhaps the quality either has gone down or perhaps it was something that you did. Btw... you are just getting the "mass" to respond to you. You should call Amazon.com or go to your order page to initiate a return request. If it has been a while since your purchase, perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer for answer. Let me know if you got this work out. If it is indeed a quality issue, then, I will continue to do the borrowing vs. buying.

I've only had glass. I've had one tank for almost 20 years now. It's still perfect. No scratches. Possible scratching and possible discoloration would be my main worries about acrylic tanks. I tend to try to keep things a long time. Maybe a long-time user of acrylics could tell us all about these particular concerns.

I havent cleaned it yet-i am not sure there is any cleaning. It gets very hot and the steam gets through tough creases. I love this iton, i would be surprised if there is a better one!

Sorry, it is bare metal - I haven't noticed any scratching but my plates are far from new.

It's made of soft rubbery plastic. So no scratching. There is an aluminum piece just on back that isn't glued properly, so the ends stick out.

I have had one for over 6 months and use it daily. I haven't seen any scratch marks on my knives and I use it for all my really good ones. The one thing that I did find is that you need to make sure that anything that you put in is really dry otherwise you get rust spots on the knives from the magnets. I love it!

I bought this product in January and am using for about one month. He had dark spots on the metal plate, is this normal? Sometimes resembles rust.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGYW0CNsbS0

Hi, I am not at home at the moment, so I cannot look to see if there any marks on it. Sorry. I'll save your email and when I get home on the weekend, I'll take a look and let you know. Good luck.

The replacement for my original 8 qt German manufactured pot was made in Thailand. After 3/4 uses for soups and water for spaghetti the metal is stained inside. Don't know why and am asking for a replacement. I'll give Farberware one more chance.

I haven't experienced any pitting. There is a strained steel spray cleaner you may want to try, but I haven't found it necessary.

I don't know- no marking to that effect- however, the stainless material seems to be quite thick and sturdy and denting and scratching has not been an issue despite normal amount of daily abuse. Definitely does not feel flimsy like some low-end metal appliances. Outer surface is nice brushed satin, inner surface is polished.
