One person wrote that the Davis Instruments Air-Dryer 1000 Dryer made the room stink. Has anyone had this problem with this DryWave Air Dryer?

Mine is on 24x7 in my trailer, without bad smell. It simply has a heating element. Possible something (small) got in or on the heating element. Manufacturer recommends keeping thing away to assure air flow. Good product for me.

I have 3 of these running in a storm shelter/cold storage and have never noticed an odor. They do warm the room some.

We have not had any of our customers have an issue with any smell emitting from the DryWave Air Dryer.

No, I have had no problems with any odor. I am sorry if you had it in the past. I also use a bigger bulb which is 65 watts and there hasn't been any problem either.

I've owned two over the years and both had very good power. The one I have now I've had for about two years and it's still going strong. Sounds like your dryer is atypical.

Just received a black one from China w/ free shipping and it made an entire room stink. Tried to air it out, wash, etc. nothing worked. Ended up filing A-Z claim and ordered from Quirky direct.

mine died before 3 months & tried to get it replaced but ended up buying comparable conair dryer since they did not respond until 3 weeks. needed it & process would be too timely & costly. ditched it & pleased w/conair version. LOL

Personally do not use the drying fan or deodorizer. In fact never tried the deodorizer. I think it might be good for guests' piece of mind perhaps but ours isn't used by guests. I think for the dryer you have to want to spend a bit of time sitting there which I don't. Could be a nice feature for those that like it.

Sorry I can't help you: this dryer was just too loud and too heavy for my use and I returned it for another brand

Hello Mike, no, we've had the heater for 3 years now and have not had any unpleasant odor coming from it at all, we're running LP gas on it and if you're running Natural gas, you might want to check with your gas company. I hope this helps??

I use the "Dryer" although I do not wear the hearing aids every day.. I've never been aware that the hearing aids are wet when I put them into the dryer. It just seems like a good idea. I remove the batteries, leave the battery doors open, put the hearing aids into the dryer and press the "on" button. The dryer automatically turns itself off. The hearing aids remain in the dryer until I wear them again.

Never had this issue. I bought a replacement unit for one I had for over 20 years. The old one still worked but had been beaten up from 20 years of use on a boat to control inside moisture. I suspect that similar to turning on any home heater for the first time in the fall, the smell could be from dust particles that have collected on the heating element; it might depend on how the item was packed when shipped.

I just received this hair dryer and can't seem to find a diffuser that works. If anyone can answer this question, I'd be grateful, otherwise I'll have to return the dryer.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

As far as I can determine, no. I really like the dryer...works as well if not better than my last one that cost twice as much! Plus the company that mailed it to me appears to be user friendly.

We're using the unit in a room that's about 420 SF, but it also has a 10 ft ceiling. I fill the unit up twice a day, about a gallon each time. We've had no problems with dry air symptoms although the humidity ranges from 32-42%. The unit is very quiet, particularly compared to our previous humidifier, and we've seen no white dust. We do use the recommended demineralization cartridge (Kaz DC-51) and the antimicrobial cleaning cartridge (Protec PC-1) to help with keeping the unit clean and because of our hard water.

No and I must warn that it makes any dryer you put it on very hot. I quit using it and wish I could return it.

No, not a quiet dryer. It is just as loud as my other two full size dryers. Maybe even a bit louder than one of them.
