During use, does this MiniVac emit an unpleasant smell? If you think so, how would you rate the unpleasantness?

I have owned this now for quite a while and have never noticed an unpleasant smell. I am still very enthusiastic about this product. We had a repairman here for our dryer and he asked me if I had a small vac to help him clean up; after using it, he wrote down where I bought it and said he was going to order one immediately. Best hand vac ever, and the attachments are great. I do not clean mine after every use, only when it seems full.

I have not noticed this at all, and have used my MiniVac frequently since purchasing it.

I haven't noticed any smell at all. Perhaps it depends on what you are vacuuming? Hope this helps.

Our mini vac does not emit any unpleasant smells, but I clean it out after every use.

I do not think so. I do not remember any kind of smell I have used it the first time.Make sure the filter is on. Then check the small foam filter in the middle of the top part.Feel the air is coming through the vacuum, there is a strong suction into the hose, and exhaust from around the top part.That is all I can think of. It is a good vacuum.

I have never noticed any smell from my unit. I use it in my van to power my TV and Xbox, and an occasional battery charge. I live in my van full time so I sleep only a few feet away from it every night and it gets a lot of use. No noticeable smell.

I don't think it works very well at all. It is very noisy. Mine is plugged in just about in the littet box. It does not do very well with these odors.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

I aired it out for about 3 days. I laid it on a pad (towel) so any odor wouldn't get in the carpet. This is about the 4th pad I've had and I didn't think the smell was strong after airing it out. I put it under the mattress pad. There was a slight odor, but nothing bad. I think we're pretty sensitive to odors, since everything we use if non-fragrance. It really didn't bother me. Hope this helps.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

I have not experienced any smell produced by my unit. It has so far performed flawlessly. In my research prior to order/installing, I did read where UV can break down some plastics, so I was careful to inspect the area inside the duct and around the coil to make sure there weren't any plastic parts that might be exposed.

Hi There, Haven't noticed a sweet smell with mine. I noticed the air smelled fresher by the output vents, but not sweet.

I detected no odor . However my sense of smell is somewhat lacking so I'm not the best judge of that question. No problem with heat either.It's been quite comfortable for me.

Not at all my experience. I love mine. I have used mine several times and no smelly issues at all. Good luck.

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

There was a very slight odor the first it was used. I have been very satisfied with mine.

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

I found the smell very objectionable. I use this Blueair to clean the air in my bedroom (saferoom) due to chemical sensitivities and allergies and cannot tolerate the smell. I have the new filter airing outside, waiting for it to off gas - it's been out there 3 days and nights and the smell is faint, but still there. Meanwhile, I vacuumed the old filter and am using it until the new is tolerable (it's been just under 6 months so not even too old yet).

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!
