This has a bitterant, does this make the object/surrounding air smell foul?

No odor or "aftertaste" in the air at all, and I'm very sensitive to both so I'd say this is definitely odor-free.

Once I did a burst that was too close to my face and I smelled it but if you follow directions it's fine.

Mine arrived without any smell. I suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask for advice. Alternatively, try using a white vinegar and water solution to clean it out.

Not at all--and I'm very sensitive to those kinds of odors. It's in my finished basement with limited ventilation, and I sit near it when I knit and there is no odor.

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

No. One other piece of feedback- it smells so foul for months. It was wrapped well but that seemed to just hold the manufacturing formaldehyde in. If I could have packaged up to return I would have. The finish is not durable either but it's not expensive so...

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

I never got any smell from the beginning so not sure why it is so.may be it might go away after 2-3 times. So its better not to grind anything in large quantity. Just for namesake grind something little and see if its going away and then use with large quantity.

I'd suggest calling them. As the owner of two of these, my guess would be that if the odors are just in the air, then, yes, If the smells have been absorbed by carpets, furniture and so on, probably not. I find these units do give the air a bit of a smell but it's mild and certainly not perfume.

After I installed it, it had the new rubber bellows smell, over time this will leave, you need to keep the bellows clean and dry after using, this will prevent the mold smell from forming.

It shouldn't smell at all. Either you have a leak, or it is not burning correctly. Good luck it should be checked.

I don't recall mine smelling at all, so I would say yes, it probably will. Just took a sniff of mine, which I have had for a while, and it doesn't smell like anything.

I have not smelled anything with this tray. Maybe the foods that it is near give off an odor? I am very satisfied with this.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

I didn't notice any smell to it besides the normal "plastic" smell. I am not using it for water containment so I did not really pay that much attention to it. Maybe soaking it with water and vinegar and then letting it air out with the top off would get rid of the smell?

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

I haven't noticed any odors from this unit. I have soft water so cleaning has not been an issue. I didn't use it for close to two weeks and I did not notice the unit getting dirty (mildew or white dust).
