The smell is normal, I think it's called ions or something, like an electrical storm. So use away, I do.

Not sure; did you sanitize it with alcohol first? Directions that I received says that you should always sanitize with alcohol first and this includes the first time you use it too.

The smell of the POrtable High Frequency machine smells like the pool. I'm not exactly sure why, but I would think because it is killing the bacteria it has similar properties. Don't quote me on this.

Mine has an odd smell while using, too, but I understand that this is normal.

There is a certain odor associated with this system. Don't be alarmed by the odor or the prickling feeling on your skin.

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

my gives off a smell as if you were turning on the stove top for cooking you may want to put in some fresh air as I do have a fresh air pipe right under my unit a 2" pipe, hope this helps you I have had my unit for some years

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

Mine had a bit of a smell the first time I used it. I just threw the first two pieces of toast away, and it has been fine since. If your toaster still smells after 2 or 3 times, there may be a problem with your toaster.

yes, i did. just yesterday was the first time i had the light on for an extended period of time. the plastic got hot and was getting "broken in" and you could smell it. i turned on the fan and seems to have gone away now. sort of like when you get a new toaster or toaster oven. first couple of uses you can smell the parts...

When i got mine it had a scent to it but it went away the only problems i had was it wasn,t put together properly the wheel came off and i had other problems with it which i fixed it myself but if yours still have a smell to it then you might got yourself a really bad product and something is wrong with it.You might want to take it to a lawn mower shop and have someone look at it.

Mine is only a couple of weeks old and I hear it popping when cooling down. I use a gas stove and I also smell a weird smell when cooking. Anyone else?

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

Hmm it shouldn't smell like rubber. I would bring it back to the store and exchange it for a new one.

I agree if you did everything like the directions told you, then you would smell citronella it has a good distinct smell. Return it and get a new one sounds like this one isn't working properly.

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

How long have you had it? Keep it stored in the dark. If it begins to smell like hot dog water then it's going bad and you need another. The strength changes as it gets older. That's my experience. If it's new. Contact the company where you bought it. They will exchange it for you.

there is an odd smell but, to be honest it doesn't bother me. The first couple of times I used it I was in school to become an esthetician and we used it with supervision so , I kno the smell is normal . It's kind of an electrical smell. The portable one I bought here on Amazon is just like the one I used in school but, much more portable. I am using it to stimulate collagen. I hope that helps.

You have a bad one. It should not have a smell as such but my flame is not even now.
