I never noticed that smell. I'm in Michigan and I got this to use in the garage to dry out the melted snow that dripped off the cars. Worked great for that task and it was operating on high overnight almost every day this winter. I did bring it in the house this Spring to dry out the carpet after shampooing and have not noticed any smell, so perhaps it did go away if it was there initially. It was used a lot this winter.

The VOC's (volitile organic compounds) used in making plastics will evaporate over a period of time, and the smell will gradually dissipate.

The smell dies down. There is still a slight smell at close proximity after continued use.

No that is not why. There is a small chemical smell when you get the pillow mistky from whatever the material they use to make the pillow out of. It does go away. Initially i thought this pillow was too high/firm..., but now i love it!

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

Yes, you will notice a different smell to the air in your house. It is gone after about a week and a half. Mine had it and the only thing I can compare it to was it smelled like a hospital. I am breathing a lot easier and have not noticed the smell recently.

It did for the first few days, but quickly went away. I use it on a bedroom door, and there is no smell at all just a short time after putting it up.

It does dissipate after a short while. Not long till it's odor free. I didn't find the smell as offensive as some. I'd buy it again.

I think it just needs to air out a little....give it a good washing with soapy water and let it sit out on the counter a couple of days...it will be fine...it is just like when you buy a plastic shower curtain liner...they need to offgas

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

It does have a bit of a rubber odor when you first take it out of the box. I used mine without washing it first, and the odor was gone after the first use. However, I'm sure if you washed it first that would probably take care of the smell as well.

If you use conditioner afterwards, that would likely cover up the smell. Once the hair is dry, the smell isn't very strong, and would only be noticeable if someone was actually "smelling" your hair. My husband uses this shampoo only (no conditioner at all) and I never notice his hair having any type of smell unless we happen to be laying right next to each other and I actually sniff his hair :) And even then, the smell is much milder than you would expect considering how strong it is in the shower!

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've the dryer for about a year now. I don't remember there being any real "smell". If there was, it didn't last long and there's no smell now.

I think that all of them do leave a smell in your clothes.Not so much in the bathroom...I just use Bath and Body lotion to cover the smell and I use dryer sheets for my clot g es.I'm afraid I have gotten used to the smell.

No, i havent had any odor coming from the fan since I bought it last year and its been working almost every day since I got it and for about 12 hours a day when I'm at the office!
