Does it have any kind of "plasticy" smell?

No smell at all. As one of the other respondents said, one of my absolutely best kitchen investments. I love it!

I had not noticed anything, so I went and stuck my nose right up against it and I could not discern any smell at all.

There was never any plasticy smell. Even with your nose against the plastic now, there is no discernible smell. We have had this since June 2014.

Yes, it does have a smell to it when it first arrives. Since leaving it out of the box and just letting it air out I have no longer noticed the smell.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

No, nearly no smell at all. A slight petroleum scent but it is mild. It's good stuff.

I have found that all new plastic products have at least a slight plastic smell when you first open them. This product is no different. It's not bad at all.

I guess if you are sensitive with plastic you could say it has a little plastic odor but minimal and as soon as you take it out of the package the odor will go away before you notice it

If you're referring to the smell of vinyl or plastic- no. To be honest I haven't noticed anything untowards.

No, it doesn't taste or smell like plastic. The only thing I don't like about this model is I could never get the programmable brew to work. Something with setting the time somehow is not working.

As soon as I received mine, I washed mine with dish soap and air dried it. There's no lingering plastic smell... at least on mine.

I nevery notice any smell. I'm not really sure what it is made of my husband assembled it but there is some plastic in the construction.

Yes, it has its smell, which does not bother me, a matter of taste. All that to say it is not odorless, but not unpleasant either.

Dunno about the how of it, but I haven't noticed any smell from the oil. Or from the comb, come to think of it. And yep, it's plastic. Or plastic looking. But it's really sturdy. I outta know, as I can break just about anything if I'm not careful. And I'm rarely careful.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

No there is no weird metal or plastic smell or taste. I purchased it for my tea addicts and critics at work and we all love it. It boils the water to almost perfection according to what tea we are brewing. I really recommend it.

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

No, no scent at all. NO perfumy smell and no medicine scent. Also does not smell like plastic.
