I have not found any difference in taste. Make sure that the tie is pulled tight and the bananas have been separated and placed in the bag. Also, place the bag in the fruit bin of the refrigerator. The only (perhaps)odd thing is the Banana will be cold when you remove it from the bag. I love the bag and I love the fact that I don't have to eat an overripe banana again.

I had the same problem and was immediately disappointed, it took about as long s you have, but I washed it out wi a vinegar solution like you might use in your frig. Then try it out with some bread inside. Even if you think that you can still smell it the bread really does come out OK. I've had mine since last May hope this helps.

Use mayo. It sounds weird, but it works! We did that and have not had any problems since.

I dont think so. The big banana worked in the begining. Now it doesnt work at all. After contacting the manufacturer several times and being told they would replace the product I still havent received anything. I still havent even heard from them. Good luck.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

I have. Make sure you do it in between bananas or it will all come out in a puff :)

I would contact the company and ask them that question. I am a consumer just like you and I have not experienced this problem. So sorry I cannot be of more help to you! Warmly, Andrea

I have found that cleaning it with warm water after use right after use and only washing it occasionally with soap and water gets the best results. Make sure you lift up the part in the middle as kernals and popped corn likes to get stuck under there and can really effect the taste of future batches if you miss them. Good luck.

Sound like the problem my friend had, would return it if not dispensing food. Mine has continued to work, think I was a lucky one. My friend has not had a problem with the one she got at Bed Bath & Beyond, but did have issues with the one purchased here.

Never had that issue.....sorry, maybe it was from your ingredients or how you may've washed it?

My bottle does the same thing! This is by far my favorite brand of almond flavoring, this should be fixed. Must be a bad design.

I spilled some yogurt on it and I found that blotting (very light pressure) with a damp cloth cloth worked well and then once I got every thing up I pressed much harder to get the excess water out. it worked well. as for keeping it as black as the day you got it... well... I'm open to sugggestions. HTH.

The bananas can be just ripe or turning ripe.. Either way. We freeze them and then use them. I dont like them too overly ripe.

I wash the rice thoroughly and it cuts the strange smell and taste. Hope that helps if you have not done it already.

Sorry, I have no idea as I only used it 1 time. One of my friends swears by it and the rest of us that bought it tried putting bananas in the bag vs just putting them in the fridge. They looked the same to me, brown and ugly....so I never used it again. I would suggest turning it inside out and washing with warm soapy water, rinse well and air dry

Mine works just fine with no problems at all, Is there any possibility that you are using the wrong paper labels? Or maybe it got wet and then dried? Sorry i couldn't help. Good luck.

I have the same problem. Every time I turned it on, it started moving around and the pulp container came off. I had to turn it off, reassemble and clean the mess. I might have got a deceptive one.
