Do you think the bad odor of the product is just for the Roach Motels that are manufacture-discontinued ? Have you tried any that were produced after the discontinued ones?

I'm not sure if I have the discontinued ones or not? I bought mine around the end of January if that's any indication. The ones I have don't actually give off much of an odor. Sorry I wish I could help you more.

The old IQ Air GC MultiGas does not remove odors. I can't speak to the newer model, but I suspect its no better.

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

I think it stinks. Not as much as other brands, but it still does. I've found that GNC B-Complex 75 Complete is the least stinky of the bunch.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

I ordered a black one from a non-prime partner which took 3 weeks to arrive and it has a strong odor. It is definitely a knock-off and not an official Quirky product. I will try soaking it in some cleaning products... I received one as a gift before I ordered this one and it is an official Quirky product and does not have the odor.

Yes, a strong kind of sweet smell. I don't like it. I wish it was an odorless product but I think the smell attracts the roaches lol

Lol idk. I think it called them. I didn't have them until I plugged it in. But they were dying tho. So I would get up in the morning the roaches would be dead underneath the riddex box

I had used this product before from a Nerium representative and I loved it; however, the product I ordered from Amazon had a different smell and it broke me out. I believe the product was old. I threw the whole order away, 125.95 thrown away.

Ugh, wish I had read the previous answers before I bought this stuff. It really is a wretched smell - like old-lady perfume gone bad. Made me wonder if Amazon is keeping it on the shelves too long or something. I really wanted to like this product but can hardly stand the "fragrance."

The problem is not the odors, the problem is getting the food out of the cells. The Mastrad trays are much better as they have silicon on the bottom to enable you to push the food out of each cell. I highly recommend those. Note, I usually love any OXO product, but not his tray.

I ended upwith 2 units, and neither had any objectionable odor. I completely understand your concern in general, having bought products with that problem before, but my specific experience with this product, at the time I bought it (> 1yr ago), from this vendor, were very satisfactory, and his customer service was outstanding.

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?
