Are there any issues with smell?

If you use it correctly and make sure you use copious amount of water to ensure the dog waste moves down the drain all the way AND you ensure all "splatter" is rinsed off the outer part of the drain, there should be NO more smell than the normal smell of a sewage drain. It does connect to your waste water piping so your fecal waste is already in that system.

No. As long as you run some water in the septic tank after you put the waste in. It is capped off so its not open. You will smell an odor every time you open the cap as you are opening your septic tank but it is not there all the time.

None whatsoever. The poo goes into the sewer line, I pour a little water in to make sure it is washed down and screw on the lid. Really, no smell at all.

No I haven't had any issues besides carrying the poo on the shovel over to the drain. Sometimes that's the stinky part.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

I had no problem with smell. Of course there is a little odor until it airs for about an hour. I have a mattress that I paid $3000 for and I sleep better on this on top of a futon.

I did not have any complaints or notice anything like that. Could be genetic, though.... Or good friends and poor sense of smell. No problems here.

I had no odor problem with mine. It's mostly submerged in water when in use anyway.

I just got one of these last week and did not notice a smell. I usually will notice smells, especially chemical smells. It had a hint of something for a just a moment when I opened the box, but otherwise all good. I say go for it!

so far I have no concerns regarding smells or odors of any type, I load it up wtih kitchen scraps (no meats or fish) and a little yard waste plus shredded newspapers ,akes for some great compost, which I typically use to make "Compost Tea"

I never noticed any unusual odor but just air it out for a while before you install it you won't have a problem this is a great quality product.

No, not to me. I do have allergies and not as strong sense of smell as others, but it didn't bother me at all smell wise.

I didn't notice an odor. When you get it, let it sit opened up for a day , if that's a concern.

No bad smell. Maybe during the install it has a small smell. But a few minutes, nothing at all.

We did not notice any smell. We have had it about a year and are very happy with it.
