I've read and heard nothing but good things about all ninja foodi products. I received this as an early Christmas gift and I was so excited to use it. I washed the baskets before using and for some reason every time it is used, there is an overbearing chemical smell coming from the machine. It gave me a headache and the whole house has a chemical smell. Suddenly I don't want to eat the food anymore. Some of the food has the chemical taste too. I'm disappointed and hoping it goes away but it looks like I may have to return it. I truly don't want to because I love the concept and the food seems to cook well but it a chemical smell only worries me that my family is consuming carcinogens.
