Does your unit off-gas like mine? It's been over half a year and my unit still fans off faint plastic smell during cooking. I'm ready to let it go.

I've never had that problem. Did something melt inside the oven (i.e., plastic wrap, plastic container)?

Hi: Sorry that you are having trouble with your microwave. I have a good sense of smell and have not found this happening with my microwave. I hope this can be rectified with who you brought it from.

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

No mine's all good but I do have a plug in air purifier next to it. Honestly I never did smell anything sorry your having trouble.

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!

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

I've had the unit for a while now--the plastic smell has gone away with use. We run it pretty much all the time--in the meantime, we would put the water through a Brita system to get rid of the smell/plastic taste. The reason why the glass bottle doesn't work is for some reason, I think the reservoir is what's also contributing to the smell. I tried the same thing and it still smelled and tasted like plastic...give it a few weeks of running it.

Mine reeked of plastic for the first few uses and there was an "off" taste in the rice, but after 5-10 uses (maybe less) it went away. After the first 1-2 uses, I boiled water in it a few times and that seemed to help

I didn't have this problem, sorry you are. I did wash my pot with Fit vegetable wash and have used it for other plastic items with odors. Hope it helps.

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

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 had it for 2 years and never encountered this. I could see how it is possible for a unit to put out a slight ozone smell, like the smell just before it rains. No detectable smells have come from my unit, however.

We have had this unit for over a year now and not experienced any of the smells you mentioned. Have you tried removing the filter and giving it a good clean, also double check that you got all the packaging off it as it has a tendency to leave little pieces stuck in the nooks and crannies.

I had a smell in the beginning but as they say below it wore off...if it continues I would contact the manufacture for another model. Make sure to check for melting plastic...also make sure the outside doens get hot.

Not sure what that smell is caused from. Didn't have any problem with mine, as far as odor. I'd ask Whirlpool about it. Maybe you can get a replacement. Good luck!!!

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.

I have owned mine for almost a year and so far it works like a charm. I'm sorry I cannot offer any insight, similar issue or help. Have you contacted Weber Grills to explain your grill issue?

Yes, I have it is just terrible. I returned the first one I ordered and have received the second unit, only it is doing the same thing. It does not get hot, neither does the cord or outlet but it smells of melting plastic. I really do not want to send this one back but cant stand the smell.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.
