Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my second one, Amazon replaced the first. They both stunk up the whole house BEFORE any food was put in. I ran the 1st one 10 times at 400 degrees and 30 minutes. Got better, but still stunk. 2nd one, I put it outside for same 30 min, still smelled, the in garage for another 30 min, stunk up garage, than put in bedroom for another 30 min, but stopped in 10 minutes to air out the room. Sent it back. Called the seller after my experience with both, of course they never heard of the problem before. My wife refuses to let me bring it in the house, much less eat any food cooked in it. Since then , I have read MANY reviews of other fryers, and it seems this is a problem with most of them. I don't know how they can sell these products, even though some people claim they cannot smell any plastic. Too bad, I was really excited to find these things, and this product's 4.7 with 262 ratings are hard to come by on Amazon. I might try a Bagotte fryer with 4.9 with 132 reviews, but $130, or a Simpletaste with a 5 star rating, albeit only 16 reviews, but only $70, slightly smaller, 3.2 quarts so accessories might be hard to find. However, this will be my last try for an air fryer if the burnt plastic smell persists. UPDATE!! I received another unit from a different source., and this one is better. It had the plastic smell initally, but seemed to dissipate after 8 hours at 400 degrees. There is some smell, but may completely go away after some more use. Once food is put in and cooking commences, the plastic odor is covered by the cooking food smell, and I have found no plastic taste. I think that others who report no plastic odor have immediately cooked foods, so the plastic smell is not apparent. The first 2 units, and this one, stunk immediately on 5 minute preheat, but this one does not after the 8 hour burn-in. The functioning of the unit is great, I gave 4 stars because of the plastic smell, otherwise it would be 5. As mentioned before, the amazing Customer Service at Cosori gets 5+ stars! UPDATE The new one from the Manufacturer, received in Feburary 2019, has functioned properly, and the plastic smell has gone away. Since my review, I see many more reviewers that complained about the plastic smell and taste. Some do work, eventually.
