Is it supposed to have a smell when brand new? I wiped it out and left it open all day but it still has peculiar smell. Will it effect salt taste?

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

Mine doesn't smell, but it does feel oily after use, which I read is normal. The only thing I use mine for is roasting vegetables that have been tossed with olive oil and kosher salt.

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

My salt box doesn't have an odor other than the natural wood smell. I have pink Himalayan rock salt in mine.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

It has the 'new' smell when first opened. After a few uses the smell goes away.

honestly, there was a smell open opening it but I left it for 3 days while on vacation. when I returned I did not notice any lingering odor. I presume they are talking about the chemical odor attached but it usually dissipates....I live in Florida so I have the air on 24/7 and ceiling fans going. I much prefer this mattress to the coil spring I got rid of.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

Mine is fairly new. When first used, I could small a plastic smell, and even after a few months still smell that; but it is not a burning odor. If you smell something burning, I suggest that you don't use it and return it for a replacement.

Rbaby, just to double-check: did it take a few weeks of non-stop use to get rid of the plastic smell/taste? I've been running it for a couple of days now, pouring the distilled water down the sink, just to get rid of the smell, and it's still there. My concern is that maybe there is something wrong with their design. Even if it doesn't smell a few weeks down the road, the glue (it's the glue according to Westinghouse) might still be in the water. Not sure how healthy that particular glue is for every day consumption :-)

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

As with any new product out of the box, there is a slight smell to get used to after assembly. This is not a strong smell and goes away very quickly. After assembly, wipe down with a gentle cleaner and all should be good.

Hmmmm.....mine is definitely not salty. Perhaps you should contact Amazon or return it. The herbs and spices I've gotten from Frontier Herb have all been exceptionally fresh tasting, a lot "brighter" and with more depth of flavor than the stuff I used to buy off the shelf.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.
