Do others have any problems with the smell of this Gaggia Synchrony Logic RS machine? We highly dislike the smell from out-gassing of the plastic!

No, there is no smell. I use Danesi coffee beans and the smell of these beans is incredible.

Yes, I agree and I will buy the that piece if is produce in stain steel or other material....

Rbaby, just to double-check: did it take a few weeks of non-stop use to get rid of the plastic smell/taste? I've been running it for a couple of days now, pouring the distilled water down the sink, just to get rid of the smell, and it's still there. My concern is that maybe there is something wrong with their design. Even if it doesn't smell a few weeks down the road, the glue (it's the glue according to Westinghouse) might still be in the water. Not sure how healthy that particular glue is for every day consumption :-)

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

Yes, their filters have an awful smell when first opened and used. I have found this to be true for the 4 years I've owned the machine. Blueair claims the filters aren't toxic but I don't believe them. I let it un on speed 2 for 2 days when I know I won't be here and that helps air them out

Never had odor issues with mine. Wash it and throw a fresh loaf of cheap bread in it to scent it.

I know what you are talking about -- I get a smell from mine. It is almost like a burnt plastic smell. It notice it when I clean up after making the coffee. It seems to be coming from the area where the filter and water is stored. It still makes a great cup of coffee so I tend to ignore the odor. I'm hoping it lessens overtime.

The smell of the POrtable High Frequency machine smells like the pool. I'm not exactly sure why, but I would think because it is killing the bacteria it has similar properties. Don't quote me on this.

Mine didn't really have a strong odor to it, but it did smell of plastic , but have no fear that goes away pretty quick, it's most likely from the heat of shipping containers and such, after one use mine was good to go, I have four of em and they are all okay now, I hope this helps Vanessa.

Yes, after a month of use, the machine started giving off a strong plasticy odor that also made the coffee taste like plastic. Cleaning it every single night helps a little but it's too much of a hassle and I'm getting rid of mine.

YES! I just unplugged mine because I had been smelling it for days now. I had it for about two weeks and didn't notice it but now I have smelled it for a few days. I woke up from a nap and unplugged it. The smell seems stronger. It really scared me, so Im researching to see if anyone else had this problem. My Grandkids kept smelling something weird in the house too. I will be returning mine tomorrow. I see on the reviews there have been many that have had this problem. I hate that I have to return it. I was really enjoying the coffee it makes.

It won't. I purchased this model and it is inferior in all ways, quality, ease of operation, missing parts. I have not experienced an odor problem but... Based on my experience with this brand for years, this model is a result of inferior craftsmanship in all aspects of design, manufacturing.

The model I bought did not have any odor even when first used. Some Delonghi owners have reported odor. Ours is used daily and we have had no problems- quality product.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

I'm an esthetician and have noticed a smell with every high frequency machine I've ever used. The smell, I believe, is normal for this procedure and nothing to worry about from my perspective.

hmm... mine had no lingering odor at all. smelled new, but nothing else, and I'm quite sensitive to that distinct "plastic" smell!

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.
