Strong odor of burning plastic coming from the lamp area. Removed lamp and didnt see anything unusual, but concerns me. Odor filled entire house.

I think there is something wrong with the connector, the phenomenon you describe like two wires connect together

I had no odor from the one that I purchased. Works beautifully! Very easy to install. Not ready to buy a new TV right now so this did the trick..

A really strong chemical type smell... Obviously I knew it would have some kind of smell, it's a cleaning product, but we had to open the windows and let it air out for hours, just from cleaning a few spots from the carpet.

hmm... mine had no lingering odor at all. smelled new, but nothing else, and I'm quite sensitive to that distinct "plastic" smell!

Tough question to answer... is this an odor from the silicone material or from being used?

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.

I don't know, but I did not use mine because everything smelled of strong plastic/bad smell.

We had the smell of a new heater when it was first plugged in. I don't remember it being a metallic/plastic smell. It quickly wore off. There is no smell now.

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

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!!!

Yes, it is very hot. If you have to move it use the side plastic parts. I've never notice a plastic smell.

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.

Ours smelled like new plastic for the first couple days but the smell faded quick. Everything that could went through the dishwasher on steam setting and the entire thing got wiped down with lysol wipes.

I found that the strongest odor was coming from all of the plastic bags as opposed to the rebounder (including the bag the CD/DVD came in). I trashed all the bags the first day, but it was too late....the odor lingered for a while. I would trash the bags immediately, because even with the box just sitting inside the house I smelled the odor.

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

Yes, there is a separate button for the ion option so you can turn it off with the the lamp on. I did not think there was a "plastic" smell and I prefer to have the ion on myself.

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 think that's normal, the plastic heating up for the first time. It's like turning the heater on for the first time in the fall and it has a weird odor for a day.
