When does the smell of burning plastic go away? When you come into my house, that is the first thing you smell and it stays noticeable and stinky.

Have never had a Bunn emit any such odor. I'd contact Nunn, there could be something wrong with yours.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

I totally agree with the last 3 comments,,there has never been an odor from my Bunn..I would contact Bunn for sure.

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?

Ok ... I called Bunn about this issue today and the customer service rep said that this smell occurs with some machines and goes away in 2 - 4 weeks. She said there is no danger and no malfunction. Something to do with epoxy hardening and conforming to the thermal tank.

We have never noticed any odor from the machine and we have had several Bunn coffee makers.

I just got mine and last night my kitchen had a faint burning plastic odor. I turned the thing off. If the smell dose not go away in a few weeks I'll return the unit. I expect more from an $100 coffee pot. Its possible that other people haven't smelled it because they're in a building with air conditioning where the air is always being moved around.

If your smelling plastic burning that's not a good sign. I never had that problem with mine. I would suggest sending back to manufacturer.

I think that may be your unit. I have not experienced anything like that with ours. We use it in an office environment and make 5 to 6 pots per day.

Hi. Per manufacturer, it is normal to smell a plastic/electrical small from this unit when it is new.As you use the unit, the smell should become less and less. Eventually you should not smell the plastic/electrical smell any longer. Thank you!

Not especially, just a plastic smell when you first get it. I don't notice a smell anymore

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

Hi Almost all plastics will off-gas creating a smell when new however I do not recall any strong odor coming from this product. If you are super sensitive and find the smell objectionable, wipe it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar/water and wipe dry. Keeping it away from heat and out of direct sunlight will also help to minimize any smell. In my opinion, smell will not be a problem with this product.

What you're smelling might be ionized air. It has a odd smell that you'll get used right away. Then again it could be plastic and you might have a problem so I'm not sure if you're satisfied with my response. The ionized air smell is a good thing If that is in fact what the smell is

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

It did at first a bit. But it calmed down. It may still smell if you put your head in the 'locker' sections and breath. If you set fire to the thing, then it is sure to smell. But be careful that you don't burn down your home in the process.

I cannot say there was a smell of plastic. If you've used a blower, then that is what it smells like. Heat. And it isn't a heavy scent.

I guess if you are sensitive with plastic you could say it has a little plastic odor but minimal and as soon as you take it out of the package the odor will go away before you notice it

Ours didn't really smell, but there was a faint rubbery scent on it. It just aired out on the counter and stopped smelling by day 2

Yeah, it's a funky out of the box plasticy smell. It took about a week of use, for me, and it went away.

I've had mine for quite a while so there is no plastic smell. I don't remember if it had one in the beginning. It is pretty thick. That is one thing I liked about it.

We had the same smell when ours started running, and it went away in a day or so. It's fairly common for air purifiers to give off the plastic smell for a couple of days.

I have this crate and it did not stink at all. You could just smell the new plastic smell when you first opened it. Mine does not smell at all.

These seem to put off that smell initially, like a lot of mechinical items running for the first time. It definitely goes away after the first or second extended use though. If not, you probably have a defective product.

Yes I have noticed it when I replaced my lamp both times I smelt it. The smell goes away I replaced my lamp almost 2 months ago and no issues and don't smell anything anymore. I think I only smelled it for maybe a week.
