Question: Has anyone had a problem with a bad smell with this unit? It smells as if the plastic is melting.
Document: This one doesn't smell. If you get one that smells of melting plastic, return it and get a new one.3. Same issue. The filters we ordered separately (1000-count, BUNN) are taller. I don't know why they don't put these tall ones in the small package that comes with the coffee maker. Odd.Moved from a 3-star to a 5-star.
But if you do fewer than 2 cups it comes out very slow. More than 2 and it has the turbulence it needs to brew quickly.One concern is it has a very strong plastic burning smell associated with it. It actually gave me headaches for the first few days when i was around it. I contacted customer support and asked if this was normal, they said yes. I opened the lid and checked to see if anything was melting, nope.
The smell has started to thin out. It's been about 3 weeks. I can't smell it anymore unless i'm right next to the unit. Too bad they don't break them in at the factory huh?
no problem.This unit doesn't really have an on/off button, but does have a "vacation on/off" to turn the unit totally off if gone for 3+ days. Once you go through the "priming process", you simply add the water you want through a hinged lid at front-top of unit. When you open this lid, a small plastic piece raises up due to being spring loaded.
I bought this unit cause I was tired of drinking burnt plastic tasting coffee every day. I knew I needed something without alot of plastic that gets heated up. I also had to have a thermal carafe cause I like to space out my drinks. Problem is unless you want to spend well over $200 for a stainless steel commercial system you have no other choice than this Bunn.It was a little more than I wanted to spend but if you want quality it costs more.
We bought this brand new bunn, makes great coffee but the plastic of the container stinks the whole kitchen. We've had it for 3 or 4 weeks and the smell of the plastic has not decreased. Ick.
Does anyone ever actually TEST their products anymore? The stainless steel insulated carafes for the Bunn coffee makers are a JOKE! Be sure to grap a handful of napkins or paper towels to mop up the spilled coffee.How can a company that has been making coffee makers this long put out a product this bad? Unbelievable!
when it was cold out i liked to have it on all the time(water is always hot for coffee, tea, cocoa). but besides wasting electricity it had a strong plastic smell. we ended up putting it on a timer so it didn't cause the plastic smell. the coffee is a good temp and strong enough. we havent had problems with leaking. i've had it about 2 month
I called Bunn and was told that smell was not uncommon and would dissipate with-in a couple of weeks. It was caused by either new plastic used since 2006 or glue from foil tape used during assembly. After reading all these posts I&#8217;m convinced they have a serious quality control issue. I will wait another week to see if in fact the smell does dissipate.
I read some of the prevous reviews before this last purchase and dismissed them as I had previously purchased this brewer. After I recievied this last pot and put it to use and noticed an ordor come from the pot that had a strong plastic smell as discribed in a prevouis post. The odor seemed to get strong and after about two weeks went away. Not sure what the odor issue was and I don't recall it in the prevouis makers.
Answer: YES. I was told by Bunn customer service that it is the heat activated epoxy that adheres the heating element to the water tank. It caused headaches for everyone in our house. The smell is obnoxious and nauseating. Never had the problem with previous models of Bunn. Why they would do this to loyal Bunn users is beyond me. It certainly can not be healthy for you! BUNN claims this will dissipate in 4 weeks, but it has been 6 weeks and I can still smell it.
