Probably not. Overall its a decent cutter, especially for the money. Have I used better? most definitely but those were twice the cost of this unit. I got mine for around 8-900 and Id say its worth that. I'd strongly look at a Hypertherm if I were to do it again but for the price i couldnt beat it

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...

Yes, well I have never had it smell-but I would think that would be time to replace or remove.

I bought two in the last couple years. Use them frequently. I have no problems at all with any smell..

You are right, think probably because the raw material odor. Anyway, it's a good product for heart.

Yes Eric. Over time, a short period too, the smell faded. Now it's the best organizer I have found to date. I look from time-to-time but found this the best size and capacity.

Yes, they are. It was cheaper and I was able to give to my friends as well. You might not wanted to keep it for more then 6 months since it will loose most of it's smells.

Personally I think the comment "smells awful"is a little exaggerated. Most any preparation has some smell unless it's scented.

Not sure, I bought a few and they have lasted for a long time. I haven't experienced any separation or odd smell.

I have not had any problems with smell. However, I do empty it every day or every other day depending on quantity.

It does have a bit of a strong odor when first opened, but it doesn't last. I have had mine for several months and like it a lot.

I have had mine for over six months and use it most nights . Have never noticed any kind of odor, etc.

I didn't notice any smell but I'd also guess it might have been from the plastic packaging if they smelled anything. Some people are, well, looking for things like this to a degree of neurosis. I just went and cut open a fresh pack and there is no discernible odor.

It is more an issue of preference. Over time, the filter will absorb odors and develop a more rough texture. I think I've replaced after about 15 uses and I sterilized before each use. Storing in fridge as manufacturer recommends causes mold to develop. I store dry.

mine had no particular odor but I bought it from an airport shop so maybe it was a while on display and that helped. That is at least what another reviewer suggested. By the way the price there was much lower that the regular price even with tax.

Ashley, I purchased 2 of these chairs for my den (small room) about 5 months ago. Regards "odor" ... there may have been a very faint "vinyl" odor when I took all the parts out of the boxes & assembled them. I spend 5-6 hours a day in my den on the internet, watching TV, etc and have never noticed an odor. More important, my wife has never noticed an odor. I just now stuck my nose up against one and double checked - nope, no odor at all. They are comfortable, look good, and match my leather couch perfectly.

I'm only a customer and what follows is what i know of their 'rap' on the product: The bags are filled with volcanic ash that absorbs odors. After some period of absorbing stink, the product can be placed outdoors in the bright sunshine for a day or so and it gets renewed and can be reused 'for two years' I guess you'll have to decide when it merits refreshing
