The “reconditioned” unit I received stank of chemicals and even after flushing the unit over 10 times each (pod side and carafe side) the unit still stank of chemicals and the resultant hot water tasted of chemicals. In my opinion I think the plasticizers the unit was made with is leaching out of the plastic. I believe this unit is a manufacturing defect. It is clearly not what I expect of a Cuisinart branded product.
Now I’m trying to figure out how to return this unit to Woot,.
