One person wrote that this dryer "made the room stink." Has anyone else had this problem?

Not at all. Keeps air dry and slightly warm. My bet is there's some other cause for the odor.

I've been using these air dryers for several years now, and I've *never* had a problem with them in any regard. They great, as far as I'm concerned!

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.

No, you should not smell any burning. Dryer is defective. Stop using it and return it immediately

If you were using it when it happened chances are it overheated. Blow in the side of it until you hear another, softer pop and you'll be good to go. If it's anything else, I haven't a clue on how to fix it. I've never had a problem with this hair dryer. Good luck!

Hi Andrew, I had the same problem. I live in Louisiana, the land of high humidity. I ran a fan in the room and it really took about a week to actually dry. I have done 2 bathrooms and my kitchen. This was the first bathroom I did. Never happened again. My advice is just be patient and give it time.

Did she purchase it with a credit card? If so she could have them dispute it like I did. They refunded my money and then went after the manufacture. However since it has been a year it may be to long but worth a try. I didnt have to send the dryer back either.

I am fairly sensitive to odors like that, and I didn't experience anything like it with mine. I got a cheap pad before that I had a big issue with, and so placed dryer sheets under it and that helped. Just a thought--just in case.

I have washed ours; but it says to line dry. I don't want to take the chance with the dryer.

I have no idea. We have never had that happen. My husband cleans ours once a week with Windex and rinses with hot water and shakes it out and stands it up to dry. After several hours we put it back in the unit. I've used the hair dryer to finish drying it if it isn't dry by bedtime.

Mine was. It's not my favorite dryer. My hairdresser uses it and loves it but I thought it would be hotter. I kept it and keep it in my gym bag or use it if I need a spare.

I would say that your unit is defective, yes. I used my humidifier all last winter in my office, and never had this problem.

I would not use any appliance if it smells like something is burning. I would contact the mfr. immediately. We have one, it works fine and there is no odor.

I did not have that problem. But I would recommend using a plastic grocery bag with a dryer sheet and place in the bag and tie shut for 24 hours. Hope you find a way.

I really don't know. Fortunately, I do not have the problem. I would suggest to wash it thoroughly i.e. Top Job, Mr.Clean, Windex, etc. and then set it outside to dry thoroughly. Fresh air seems to work wonders. Before clothes dryers, everyone loved the smell of bedsheets dried outside. Also, a last resort.....remove the rubber pad and do without. Hope these suggestions help.

Hi, That doesn't sound normal. I've used this kind of dryer for over twenty years and never had a problem with them. The only noise you should here is air noise and the humming of the motor. The dryer should be very quiet. Hope this helps

Absolutely not - they did put out a reasonable amount of air (but not nearly what a challenger does) for a few months until all FIVE of them I purchased smoked, sparked and seized up. Downright dangerous. B-Air is a terrible company, they would not replace them, and eventually just ignored my emails and calls. They would claim they needed to research or look into it, and I would just never hear back from them. Four of the small 1 hp dryers and one of the 4hp ones - all dead within 6 months. I bought two other dryers from PetEdge that appeared to be made by the same company, and those lasted a bit less than a year before screaming and belching smoke. That is about $800 worth of dryers - they were maybe used two or three times a week, and cleaned properly. Stay away from B-Air.

I've washed mine several times, but the first time I put it on low on the dryer for about 10 mins, I took it out to check it and it was melting in several places. I'm not happy about that and need to check on the warranty.

time....I stuffed dryer sheets inside of pillow cases to try and help. Don't know if that really helped or not, but eventually the smell does go away
