Does anyone know if the plastic taste has been worked out in the new version of the oven? I've been holding off on purchasing for this reason.

I bought mine a year ago. I used it twice last year and once this year. The plastic was less noticeable this year. I can't wait to hear a direct answer to your question too..but the plastic edginess does seem to dissipate a bit over time

I have not noticed any plastic taste in anything I have made. The things I have cooked have been covered in pans or kettles.

Never experienced that. I didn't even do the recommended vinegar "wash" pretreatment. Not sure how plastic taste can be an issue since cooking is done mostly in covered pots. I have baked cookies (2nd time used) and they were fine.

Yes, my daughter put on hers cause it was plastic. Now she can put in the oven with higher heat.

I commiserate with you about your convection oven. I haven't been happy with mine since day one. I'm not having the same problem you're having but I don't like the way it functions.

I really didn't notice a plastic smell. Maybe because I wash it in the dishwasher. I love it!

I bought this oven one year ago and the control knobs on mine look different than the current oven photo. So I'm not sure if this unit has been redesigned. My little oven only sits on the counter top. It has 4 short plastic legs.

I just received mine and I also have this burning plastic smell. I thought it might be because it is new. Has it gone away for anyone who has this odor coming from their Bunn as well?

My answer is the same as the other two who responded. However, I did have a question about # 9 Plastic drip tray...when I first got my second Infrawave Oven. Couldn't understand until I saw that it referred to use of rotisserie in some models. This is my second oven and I love it.

Yes, it pretty much tastes like plastic. It's not unbearable, however. I would recommend a carbon, i.e. activated charcoal filter to overcome this problem, if you can't get past the taste.

The answer from WineCountryLover is correct. I have had this oven for a few months and I would not buy it again. In addition to the flaw mentioned in my previous review, I noticed the glass oven door does not close tightly so heat must be escaping.

Rbaby, just to double-check: did it take a few weeks of non-stop use to get rid of the plastic smell/taste? I've been running it for a couple of days now, pouring the distilled water down the sink, just to get rid of the smell, and it's still there. My concern is that maybe there is something wrong with their design. Even if it doesn't smell a few weeks down the road, the glue (it's the glue according to Westinghouse) might still be in the water. Not sure how healthy that particular glue is for every day consumption :-)

Hello,No, I haven't noticed. Everything looks clean inside - no plastic, stainless steel only. Why would there be plastic there in the first place, anyway?

I have only used it a few times but it seems fine. it is faster and hotter than my old one the bake function work well.

I've used my oven about a dozen times and have not had to clean it so far. One of the first things I baked was chicken with mushroom soup and sour cream. I've had my oven for about 3 mouths and have used it mostly for baking biscuits. The only negative I have found is that it does not have a light so that you can tell if your are over baking in it. Other than that I really like this oven as it is very nice looking and does do a good job on what I have used it for.

when you first get it just make sure to rinse it out. that would be the only time you will get that plastic taste to it. but after you rinse it out i havent gotten any plastic taste. sorry for the delay

The sistema company told me he products are meant to 'heat up' rather than 'cook'. It seems that food getting too hot will cause problems with the interior plastic. I've bought a lot of their products, too- I use them with caution now. QVC made them seem flawless and indestructible! I also hand wash them.

I have one Le Creuset that's about 15 years old. And that one is stained. But my new one seems to have a different finish. So far it has not stained, even with the things I've cooked in it that should have done so. I suspect that they've upgraded or otherwise changed the finish, as it seems to be more slippery for lack of a better word.

I personally didn't know the formula changed. I subscribe to it maybe every 3 months or so. And had a doubled up order awhile back. And so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Maybe that'll be obvious? If the "flavor" is off or it gets the white crustyness I'll have to look
