I pressed the wrong button these tank have no smell or taste that I have noticed. I have it in my camper and after 3 weekends camping nothing.

I have been using these bottles for over a year and have never had a plastic taste from them. Before the first use just wash good with hot soapy water and there shouldn't be a problem.

My kids have not complained about any plastic taste. They used them the whole school year, and no complaints! We love them!!!

I don't know either. We have tried two of them and they both smell awful. If you start with fresh water, it doesn't pick up the odor too badly, but if you let the water sit in the reservoir very long it quickly starts to taste like the plastic smells. I have thought about filling the reservoir (without water) with baking soda to absorb the odor (same concept as using it in your refrigerator or cat box), but I haven't actually done that yet. Don't really know if that would help.

I ordered a set in August. They didnt have the plastic smell you probably expect. I put the set in the car the day they were delivered without airing out. No issues.

Mine had a plastic grill but it never smelled.. I would check the elements and make sure nothing is setting on them and that is why you get a smell.

We have not experienced any plastic tastes or smells. We are very pleased with the product and the coffee it makes.

According to the manufacturer's web site their tanks are both BPA free and food grade. http://www.surewatertanks.com/handbook/

Nope. No plastic smell. Like others have already answered. Very easy to clean, I just throw them in the dishwasher. My 1 yr old and 6 yr old love their homemade apple juice push pops!!

I haven't noticed any particular odor. They are not plastic, they are silicon.

Ours did have an odor, like plastic when we opened it but it aired out quickly and certainly didn't smell like fish.

They are definitely metal, but they do have some kind of enamel-like coating- maybe that is the cause? Mine smelled like gasoline when I purchased them in 2010, and they still smell a little bit now, but I can work with it.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

I don't recall a plastic smell but we also use scentsy burners in the house so that could have hidden the smell...
