Does this pool have any odor when new? My hubby and I are sensitive to smells like perfume and vinyl/plastic.

Yep. Definitely smells like vinyl/plastic when it comes out of the box, but that seemed to go away after a few days.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

I own a vinyl pool but have never used the vacuum. Sorry I couldn't help. My pool just never gets that dirty.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

Hi. Per manufacturer, it is normal to smell a plastic/electrical small from this unit when it is new.As you use the unit, the smell should become less and less. Eventually you should not smell the plastic/electrical smell any longer. Thank you!

I use a heavy duty reusable liner by Planet Wise, and have had no problem with smells leeching into the plastic.I am not sure how to fix the problem once it has happened though.

I never noticed a plastic smell......if it is present I suspect it will go away......like a new car smell!

I have never noticed a smell or order. But I also have it in my office where I work which is at a swimming pool. Sorry if I'm not much help.

No I did not notice any type of odor from this loveseat....the plastic protective shipping cover may have had a small odor...not the couch

Yes, it has a very strong odor from the PVC, which is actually toxic [I'm amazed that so few people realize this, based on the comments people have shared]. It was so strong that I had to take the curtain down and put in my garage. It's been there for 24 hours now. Still strong. Will wait another day or so, then if the strong PVC plastic smell doesn't go away, I may have to return it. Apparently, some people don't realize that these smells are from gases being cast off from the plastic, and you breathe them in. Not good. Can't wait for the day when this the use of these chemicals is banned. Nice thick shower liner, but not sure I want to risk my health or that of my pets.

Ours didn't have that odor to it at all. But I would try some kinda heavy detergent. Hope this helps

No mine didn't smell bad, just like new plastic (and I get migraines from strong odors).

I have never noticed any odor what so ever . From the moment I took the artist bench out of the box (so easy to assemble) I have loved it ! It is comfortable, beautiful, and very sturdy. It is gorgeous with my grand piano and I sit on it daily for hours and just love this Bench!

I got no smell.. but I would think that is is not totally un common... if there was any residual oil or other substance on the plastic it will burn off.. it should stop after a short time... good luck..

This is my first year... I will find out in a few weeks when I take this pool down... But If it smells bad, I will try to clean it... Or leave it out side thru the winter...

I'm fairly sensitive to these types of plastic odors. I did not notice an objectionable smell when I first opened it. It does not smell now, either.
