We've had one for two years now and not a single odor. Also, no problems with the hose either. Been very happy!

No I haven't had an odor problem or any issue with the supply hose. I'd call the manufacturer. I love my bidet seat and can't imagine not having it.

No odors could be a heating element problem unplug the seat. If smell goes away recommend replace could be electric issue.

I never noticed an odour. Have you had any issues with the supply hose coming away from where it goes into the seat? I have had 3 floods in my bathroom because the hose pops out.

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

I picked one up in July and the smell was terrible. After running water, coffee, and vinegar through it for the last month on a daily basis the smell is still there! Instead of the coffee aroma wafting through the house in the morning there is a burnt plastic smell that ruins the fragrant ambiance of morning. I would love to hear the solution for this one too.

I didn't have any foul odor. I think you need to contact to the seller and exchange for another one. If you cannot return or exchange, then try to dry clean

I've never smelled that odor. However if it needs to be wiped down or vacuumed it does have a funny smell that is kind of strong. Must be the buildup of the bacteria from the air. We've had ours for several years and only replaced the filter cartridge once but we vacuum it regularly.

If your smelling plastic burning that's not a good sign. I never had that problem with mine. I would suggest sending back to manufacturer.

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.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

The inside of mine smelled pretty bad when I first got... I think se hot soapy water will do the trick.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

I had a smell in the beginning but as they say below it wore off...if it continues I would contact the manufacture for another model. Make sure to check for melting plastic...also make sure the outside doens get hot.

hmm... mine had no lingering odor at all. smelled new, but nothing else, and I'm quite sensitive to that distinct "plastic" smell!

I haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

My wife uses it EVERY day and trustme if it had a smell it would be gone. Now being made out of plastic and new it probably would have to have some sort of new smell when new. Take it out of package and let it sit for a week you should be good to go ,and by the way she loves it.

We are having a hard time with this issue as well. I have tried cleaning it, and it still smells. Parts of it are starting to turn reddish / orange as well, so I am going to stop using it. We have well water, and I'm wondering if that could be the issue?

We had no odor with ours. I just wiped it down with Lysol wipes, just to please my "clean freak" persona!
