It's a strong smell like burning plastic and chemicals

The smell is very strong and gives me a headache.

The SMELL and SMOKE it emitted was noxious.

It produces a strange smell, only stays on HOT for 2 minutes at a time before cutting itself off, but can't boil water with anything lower than HOT.I'd give this lower stars if I could

BUT has an unbearable toxic smell

made weird burning and smell after plugging in i got scared and put it away and haven’t used it since..

After several uses the smell is still strong

Emitted strange plastic burning smell

Has a horrible smell when turned on, like burning wires or plastic

On first use the hot-plate element out-gasses some nasty, acrid fumes (smells like burning plastic) that will leave a sticky residue on pots, etc

Biggest drawback is it takes a very l o n g time to cool down.
