Victor:
I chose the Polaris PCM 4002A coffee maker for home use - the model is inexpensive, advertised and very pretty. The case is durable, does not vibrate during operation, but there is still a little noise. For three months of daily use, I did not notice any special shortcomings, I have no complaints about the work. In general, a decent model, simple and easy to use, easy to clean, although such a device is clearly not suitable for a large family.

I am currently using this Polaris PCM 1527E coffee maker. In fact, I really like this coffee maker, it makes really tasty coffee, it is fragrant, the smell does not get over the smell of plastic, which still comes from this part. In general, I liked it very much!
To be honest, I'm scared to take a coffee maker from this company. There is a sad experience of buying a kettle. The teapot, by the way, was with a metal body and the only plastic was the lid, and the handle, of course. The pungent aroma overwhelmed every taste. As a result, I took it back to the store and presented it to the sellers! They refused to take it back the next day, since the kettle is working, and smells are all subjective) So the coffee maker costs much more than the kettle and somehow I don’t want to just throw it away later (I use it with such aromas as from a kettle, I I definitely won't)
Yes, I understand what you are talking about, I came across an unpleasant smell from cheap kettles. But in general, the quality of devices is getting better. Plus, you always need to study the reviews of the owners before buying, it is convenient to do this on the Yandex Market website by selecting the model of interest.
