I bought this at Canadian Tire and there is a terrible smell coming from underneath it. And it's 10 times worse when you activate it. I had other coffee grinders that were new and didn't have that toxic chemical smell. Will be returning it and take another brand. Had a Braun for 30 years and didn't have a problem or a strange smell. Now with everything made in China, that's what we get! Toxicity! No thank you!
