Does it smell? Some plastics give off a smell for the first few days (or years!). I have severe lung disease - does this one smell?

Very mild smell for maybe a half a day running. Have this on our child's room and works great! No strong smell at all in my opinion after that. I definitely recommend!

We have had our for a few months now and it has never given off any odor. We only keep it set at 68-70 so i'm not sure if you put it up higher if it would? Hope this helps.

We have two of these (we liked the first so much, we bought another) and neither has ever given off a smell. Good luck!

It doesn't have a smell at all really in my opinion(and I can have a sensitivity to smells, chemicals, etc). I've had mine for about a year now, but I think when I first opened it there was a vague plastic smell, but nothing overwhelming. When you are using it, I don't notice a smell.

When originally out of the packaging it smells like plastic. Then the smell faded away. It was not an overwhelming smell or anything.

I got no smell.. but I would think that is is not totally un common... if there was any residual oil or other substance on the plastic it will burn off.. it should stop after a short time... good luck..

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

I read reviews about this before I purchased it and read alot about that plastic smell. I had the strong fumes the first day after unwrapping it and after running it a few hours it was gone the next day.

No mine didn't smell bad, just like new plastic (and I get migraines from strong odors).

No it doesn't. It smells like plastic, I didn't notice any particular smell.

Hi, I unpacked my chair 6 weeks ago and now can detect a little bit of smell only and only if I really try to find it ;) My nose is average and at the time of unpacking I didn't really notice anything disturbing.

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

Not especially, just a plastic smell when you first get it. I don't notice a smell anymore

Yep. Definitely smells like vinyl/plastic when it comes out of the box, but that seemed to go away after a few days.

We had the same smell when ours started running, and it went away in a day or so. It's fairly common for air purifiers to give off the plastic smell for a couple of days.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

Yes... Once removed from mfr plastic packaging, smell dissipates after a couple days.

It does initially. In my case, my new bottle smelled like rubber for less than a week and then the smell disappeared as I used it regularly. But its not unbearable super strong rubber stench. well, I'm on to my second one, that says something. :)
