Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the first time that I’ve given a bad review of something I’ve purchased through amazon. I purchased this item and wish I would have read more of the reviews. When I opened the item box I expected to have some new smell to it but what permeated was a plastic smell. I did the test run as was indicated on the instructions and the entire house smelled of strong plastic toxic smell. My house smelled like this for an entire day. I ran again with a few fresh potatoes and it still permeated the house with plastic smell. The potatoes cooked fine but they had this terrible metallic taste and I had to compost them. I tried again and still smelled of plastic. I emailed the company and did not get return email. Unfortunately, I had to send this item back, which I hated to do, but I don’t think the plastic smell was going to change even with further attempts.
