I never had any odor, but did have metal like taste, I used vinegar and hot water and let it sit for a whole day.. then it was gone.

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.

i did not have that problem. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Or else I would try a solution of water with vinegar and baking soda swished around. Just an idea.

Wash with dishwashing soap and add a splash of vinegar and rince..it should be perfect! Plastic sometimes has an odor but with wear it goes away

I briefly had that problem. Put it in the dishwasher on high temp, sanitize settings and it'll be good as new.

There may be a plastic smell when you first use it and that's normal, it will go away with use. If you by any chance smell burning plastic, then that might be a torn seal ring. For more trouble shooting, please call Oster direct for info, parts, and replacements.

This happens with ours sometimes too. I just unscrew the lid and retighten it, seems to help.

I am in a smaller house. I read others in apartments using them. I have a bucket I have been folding them up and setting them in. I have not noticed a smell, but thought of adding water and some sort of soap to the bucket. I think summer time it could be an issueThey wash up great and also I laid them on a drying rack to dry overnight.

Try scrubbing it with salt. Maybe even boric acid powder. Never use soap of any kind.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

i just run ours thru the dishwasher on top rack a couple of times a week. Smell dissappeared.

Try running a vinegar/water solution through it and then the baking soda. That may take care of it.

The vacuum on the top when you first get them can be really strong. Try using a butter knife and wiggling it between the top and the rubber seal. After you wash it and replace the seal, you won't have the problem again.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

I used mink oil to soften it up. Of course that puts in it's own odor. Then I let it bake in the sun, both sides for a few hours. Did it all again and it's odor is very quiet now.

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Think the instructions say something about cleaning it but if not I'd mix a little bleach and water swish it around should help with the smell
