The smell from the rubber tires is terrible! We put in out in the garage 3 weeks ago and it still stinks. Does the smell ever go away?

No I still have the smell I put it in the garage and threw away the boxes the smell is still there.

Eventually if you keep it outside! We had ours first in the porch and then in the basement. The whole room smelled for a long time. It's been several months and now that it is stored outside I cannot smell it anymore. It was really strong for a while. I've read you can wash with soap and water which admittedly I never tried.

I know what you mean. They smelled bad for about a day and a half. I put the trike outside on our screen porch. The smell went away in that time. Yes, the smell goes away! Try putting it outside, if you can put it in a protected area, like a porch.

We never had a problem & we have stored the bike in our basement & in our garage. We have it for the grandkids. Are you sure the bike did not ride through some chemical . Try spraying the tires with vinegar water? Good luck.

I don't know. I opened the box, put the thing together and stuck it in a bigger box to wrap for Christmas. The smell really wasn't that bad when I opened it, so I would assume that the smell would go away after being used outside a few times.

Ok ... I called Bunn about this issue today and the customer service rep said that this smell occurs with some machines and goes away in 2 - 4 weeks. She said there is no danger and no malfunction. Something to do with epoxy hardening and conforming to the thermal tank.

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

I guess there was a strong odor of stain but I didn't detect gasoline smell. My bench is outdoors so the smell has totally dissipated. If using indoors, I'm not sure how long it will take for the odor to go away.

The tires on the cart I received just a few weeks ago have a schrader (same kind that's on a car) valve to inflate the tires. The tires are stinky (I leave it outside, the smell is getting less) but they work.

If you use the mat on a regular basis (i.e., three times a week to daily) the smell goes away within a couple weeks as the mat absorbs your body oils, which seem to neutralize the rubber odor. Leaving the mat out unrolled and unused will not help.

No, I didn't notice a strong gasoline odor. It was assembled outside and remains outside. I would have noticed had it had that smell. Could it be the stain? If this is kept outside, the smell should go away.

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.

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

Yes, it smells like rubber. Over time use rubber smell fade away. It needs to breath. Primo representative were good and accommodating.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

So sorry to hear about the problem with your mower. No, we have had no smell at all with ours. You should be able to get a refund for that dud! Good luck.

No it didn't when I removed it BUT the adhesive from the parking target was stuck on the floor. I had to use Off which left my garage orange scented and when I drove over that spot, it starting drawing grim from my tire which is now a black strip where the adhesive once was.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

Ours just had a strong rubber smell. It has gotten alot better. We put stuff in ours and put it in the freezer, the dog goes crazy for it.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.
