when i use it to make hot water, the water smell like something weird......i am thinking of return it. it is a horrible product.

So, I bought this kettle thinking it was small and cheap, and it would be convinient for my small room. Turns out the kettle is cheap and small, but it give the water a horrible plastic taste, that after many many boilings doesn't go out. So DON'T BUY this kettle if you appreciate the taste of your tea, and also you health!

This kettle never did auto shut off as described. The only good thing was it boiled quickly. After 5 months of use it made a loud popping noise & died. You get what you pay for I guess.

I also experienced the strong plastic smell pointed out by others.MIne did not go away after many attempts.

The plastic taste to the water is a deal-breaker for me. Tastes like water from a garden hose that's been sitting in the sun all day. Blech.Otherwise, it does heat the water quickly. Great for heating water you're not going to drink.

I choose this electric kettle and it is fast when boiling water.But I feel very confused because the water has a strong plastic taste. I try for two days and several time, i even add some tea into the kettle and boiling again, the plastic taste still there.Is there any poisonous if i use this one?
