Title: Avoided a fire thanks to the customer reviews
Product review: Shame on Black and Decker! I received this product as a Christmas gift and thank goodness I read the reviews on Amazon. I was undecided whether or not to return the unit without trying it. Today I was feeling like a cup of coffee and thought perhaps my unit was one of the few nondefective ones. This product is indeed a poorly crafted plastic piece of junk. Immediately upon starting the recommended preuse "water run thorough" the machine started spewing out white smoke and emitted a smell of melting plastic. Thank goodness I was prepared and watching over it like a hawk. I unplugged the machine, immediately called the 1-800 Black and Decker number, and will be returning the unit ASAP!
