Lots of reviews mention that this products has a really foul smell. Is this problem specific to a particular lot or two, or a common problem?

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

I have purchased 5 of these, from this and another seller. None of them smell bad and I am extremely sensitive to smells.

yes ours does smell pretty bad but you can only smell it if you put it up to your nose otherwise you can't smell it. If the product smell bothers yout I think putting it outside to air out for a week would help.

If you put your nose right on it and I mean on it then it does smell a little rubberby .....with normal use my wife and I couldn't smell anything

Just received a black one from China w/ free shipping and it made an entire room stink. Tried to air it out, wash, etc. nothing worked. Ended up filing A-Z claim and ordered from Quirky direct.

A few months ago, I ordered a white one and had no issues. So I recently bought 2 black ones and like the previous reviewer, these came from China and smelled up the entire room. I tried rinsing with a mix of Murphy's Oil soap and Pine Sol then sitting in the sun for a few days (I read on eHow that's supposed to get out a bad rubber smell) and now they still have the bad rubber smell plus a really strong pine sol smell. I'm going to file a claim with Amazon.

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

It sounds like a bad batch. I've been using product for a while & without issues.

Using my second bottle of this product Now and do not notice odd smell..just a light clean smell so i would send or bring your bottle back for replacement. This is an excellent produuct and priced reasonably compared to others.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

Some reviewers complained about it but I didn't have a problem at all, it smelled "new" when I got it as most things do, I let it sit out for a few hours before I put on bed and never noticed any smell from then on. I was very concerned about smell because it was for my daughter's bed but it was fine.

I know of no such problem. Mine never had a problem with awakeing or with the odor. It is an excellent product.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

I would not say that there is a heavy odor of any kind with this product, and actually if it bothers, send it back. Although I hate doing that because of added cost

Hmm, I just went over and sniffed our set and I don't smell anything in particular. I think we've had this since July, so perhaps it's off-gassed since then but I really don't remember the set having a toxic smell when we opened it and started playing with it.

I guess I never noticed a "bad" smell, especially since I regularly get the brazilian blowout itself (now THAT is not a fun smell at first). I love this shampoo though, so if you can get over the smell you will love it!

I've had mine for 5 months and have had no problems with it. I have noticed it started to smell funky today but I'm quite sure the 4x I've cleaned it isn't nearly enough and it just needs a good cleaning. :) Love this thing! I have 3 other diffusers that I do not love.

mine had no particular odor but I bought it from an airport shop so maybe it was a while on display and that helped. That is at least what another reviewer suggested. By the way the price there was much lower that the regular price even with tax.

I love mine and I don't have this issue. It diffuses a smell the entire time. Maybe check the oil grades you use. I use 100% plant grade oils which are strong.
