We haven't had that problem, as long as we use the vent fan on the stove. It will make your apartment smell like wood smoke, but that's not a bad thing.

I assembled mine a year ago but dont recall any unusual odors. Its made of what i call "press board" so there is a saw dust and glue sent but all furniture of this type is like that.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

Taffy, we don't smoke so I can't answer that but the previous owners did smoke and we don't smell anything. Also I had the ducts cleaned and sanitized several times and still smelled a musty odor. With the installation of the RGF I don't smell it anymore. We are very pleased with the results..

It does an excellent job of removing smoke; however, over time nicotine being removed from the air accumulates on the filters which causes the smell to never completely go away simply because air is being drawn through nicotine saturated filters and then expelled back into the air. A frequent change of filters will help keep the cigarette odor to a minimum. In an effort to save money, I have been known to put the filters in the bathtub, saturate them with Awesome Cleaner, let them set for a few minutes and then rinse them with the extended shower-head. The nicotine literally pours out of the filters. I let them dry for a few days and put them back into the enclosure. They're almost as good as new.

I have had no issues in my vehicle with any odor. I have the on the inner firewall and inside the hood which gets quite warm. Just use a roller to make sure it sticks. Sounds like a good idea you have.

I am sorry but I don't have cigarette smokers in my house. I can tell you that it seems to help with cooking odors, if that helps at all. My other suggestion is that if you get it, please clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning is easy, I waited too long because I thought it would be hard.

Yes. Ozone is very effective against smoke odor. It can be used for cigarette/cigar smoke, and is very effective after a house fire.

Since the Model 04381 has apparently been discontinueg and filters for it are no longer availible I think your best option is the Hamilton Beach Room Odor Eliminatior Model 04532 using the carbon filters. I've used this combination for almost a year in one room and it does a great job of removing the smoke and odor. Hope this is helpful.

Someone wana test or mail me a packet to test? :) We cigar smokers use silica beads to maintain humidity in our humidors. When you soak them they release humidity and helps maintain a humidor at 65-70% relative humidity.

No, I've never even noticed an odor. You're really not heating the beads up long enough for something like that to happen. Irons are very hot but not hot enough for perler beads to release any fumes that I ever noticed. Maybe if you go super nuts you could get some sort of fumes. Probably not anything to be concerned about.

Mine did not smell other than the smell of leather and I personally like that smell so guess I'm if no help..but I have heard of people putting charcoal briqiets in things and putting it in an airtight bag for awhile and the briquets absorb the smell..

No, they do not hold smell, there are instructions for cleaning which is very simple. I used Tar Guard for a few months and was disgusted and frankly, frightened by the amount of tar I was cleaning out of it. I am now vaporing, which can be purchased with nicotine but none of the other bad stuff. Good luck.

Yes, I have noticed the smell in the last orders we have.. The odor is so strong that I am worried if it is harmful to the animal.
