I read all of the reviews about a burned plastic smell, but we didn't experience that at all.

I have been a Bunn fan for many years, but was hesitant to buy another due to several negative reviews and comments about an electrical burning smell, the less inferior construction, more plastic, and being made in China now

This coffee maker smelled like burning plastic from the time I received it, it also brewed coffee all over my counter

Experienced serious plastic off-gassing when the unit is heating water (can smell plastic burning)

Cheap plastic build and finish

There is plastic on it, but it's not cheap plastic, it is good quality sturdy

Even after performing the included instructions for first use of the coffee maker, the coffee maker did have a very strong plastic smell and taste to the coffee

The filter basket barely stays in place and is made of flimsy plastic

Anyway, the problem with this one is that it gives a very unpleasant smell, like something is over-heating and burning, like when cheap plastic gets very hot

Love the quick quiet bunn coffee makers, but this one smells like burnt plastic

The plastic on this last one seems a little weaker and it is much noisier when heating the water when refilled.

What a DISAPPOINTMENT.All they had to do was use the lovely carafe from their commercial version, instead you get a cheap looking plastic top'd ugly thing

There is an odor of hot plastic or wiring emanating from the machine since I plugged it in two weeks ago.

Faint plastic smell during initial cycling routine described in the manual but great after that

It is not from burning epoxy/plastic as one reviewer erroneously stated.

Btw, that burning plastic smell you smell the first two weeks you plug your pot in is not only not normal, but it is unhealthy.

It generates very strong unpleasant plastic smell, really fills the kitchen with bad industrial smellwhen you move it especially hot the machine bowes and flexes like its made of wet noodlesmade in china of clearly

Next problem: Most of the black plastic parts use the cheapest plastic possible

This new one is more rounded with a clever plastic line across the lid which makes it absolutely spill proof and drip proof while pouring

There is a burning plastic smell that others have mentioned

I did get some burned plastic smell after a week but went away

It generates very strong unpleasant plastic smell, really fills the kitchen with bad industrial smellwhen you move it especially hot the machine bowes and flexes like its made of wet noodlesmade in china of clearly

The model we received was not what was ordered (the newer model was sent versus the NHBB) and unfortunately upon plugging it in and heating it up we could smell burning plastic, which indicates the heating element may have issues

Still has the warm plastic smell

My second complaint is the burning plastic smell that comes from the unit.

Had a burning plastic smell

The problem is that with the water in the tank being kept at a high temperature at all times, if you only rinse the pot quickly instead of washing it with soap and water EVERY time you use it, then the minuscule amount of coffee residue in the pot gets in the tank and causes the burnt plastic smell(actually burnt coffee).

Some reviews have mentioned the burning plastic smell and others water leaking, We have had none of these problems, Just great coffee in the morning.

Anyway, the problem with this one is that it gives a very unpleasant smell, like something is over-heating and burning, like when cheap plastic gets very hot

Love the quick quiet bunn coffee makers, but this one smells like burnt plastic

Well this is a first for a Bunn, This coffee maker has a smell, a cheap Chinese plastic smell.

Since Bunn chose to send their manufacturing plant to China, and hire cheap Chinese laborers, the product quality has taken a nosedive......noticeable by the flimsy plastic

but now I'm stuck with it and the burning plastic smell

The burning plastic smell has gone away

I have been a Bunn fan for years, but this unit smells like burning plastic

I can only imagine if it smells that bad what that burnt plastic is depositing in the water

Biggest, and by far the most disturbing issue was the "hot plastic/melting wire" smell that started after 24 hrs

Good pot but retained a very strong , sickening plastic smell for weeks

Some reviewers have stated there is a burning plastic smell from the maker.

Received unit on 11/19, still smelling burning plastic

The unit even smells like burnt plastic making me think it could be a fire hazard

I burned the plastic where the coffee goes in

but apparently the burnt plastic smell is being experienced by many users

The plastic has a very strong odor

and I still smell burning plastic

The plastic on the unit was already cloudy when we took it out of the box

Just bought the NHS Velocity Brew March 9th, 2014 from Kohl's, and there has been an odor of burning plastic/rubber ever since I began using it, the odor permeates the entire downstairs.

This has a plastic burning smell to it all the time

One additional note, my last bunn came with an actual heavy duty spring tool for declining, this unit comes with a very cheap plastic piece almost like a wire tie for deliming.

there is a heavy burnt plastic smell.

All of this cheap black plastic was covered in a powdery film- mildew

It’s the burning-plastic stench that surrounds the machine with a five-foot radius.

I had to return a Cuisinart coffee maker due to the heating element cracking the plastic on the coffee maker so my husband convinced me to get a Bunn because that's what they use in restaurants

The issue is after about 4 days, I started smelling this awful burning smell in my house almost like plastic or wires melting.

I have had no issues and do not smell plastic

I hated it - so many parts to clean and the coffee didn't taste as good as from the Bunn.

love a

Works as it should.

I've been a bit disappointed over the years that they aren't as heavy duty and durable as they once were, but I have grown accustomed to that as the new norm in Bunn coffee makers

The coffee stays just as warm as when brewed.

I know some other reviewers complained about having to keep it plugged in all of the time, that doesn't bother me, I can afford that extra $20 dollars a

My husband and I both wondered as we navigated the usage of this thing: Why didn't Bunn put a sight glass on the container so people could see the fill level

I have had this plugged in for over a week and it still smells as if something is burning even while the machine is at rest

I used one at our cabin to heat water from doing dishes, to washing hair and taking sponge baths, to making tea and hot cocoa as well as for it's intended purpose of making coffee.

t stay hot long enough.

bought a BUNN NHS Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, worst coffee maker I have ever had, have to let it warm the reservoir for 10 min and still don`t come out warm enough, then I have to add 2 to 3 times the coffee to get it strong enough.

The coffee is not as hot as I like it when made

So far love it.. haven't noticed the smell others mentioned.. only complaint would be doesn't keep coffee as hot as I

The whole I/O thing confuses some people
