Had mine in my basement 2 years. No smell. Heard of other people with this problem in the reviews but not myself. Humidity?

Hmm maybe contact the company. I have had mine for some time now and they are still good and don't stick to anything. They might have shipped some that weren't good. Try to contact them because it says they don't stick or stain in which mine haven't yet and I've had ours for a while now. See if there is anyway u can contact the foam company and let them know your concern. Hope it helps!

Maybe it's a bad batch of formula. Or time: the time it takes for the "stink" to activate at my 6900 elevation is a few days. You probably know a pinch of local dirt is required with the liquid in the bag -- this last time a clod clogged the hole, and I didn't see it until the next day. If your problem happened to me, I would try the manufacturer (go right to the top) and let him/her decide what to do. They want their product to bring happiness to all concerned (except the flies), and want to find solutions to problems like yours.

As I mentioned I had two of these blow up. Don't recall what the first one did, but the second one quit while making a bizarre noise. It then resumed working for awhile, until it quit completely, no power or lights at all. I just bought a Whirlpool from Amazon and it came damaged. I heard the Fedex driver drop it outside my house. It said team life, but it was just one sixty year old man. I called and they discounted it $150 for the dent on the front. I bought a three year replacement plan with it.

I can only think that either product is clumping with moisture or rotating breaker in bottom of bin is not turning, or missing entirely. Obvious problems, but both have happened to me in the past. Good luck

I would for sure make sure everything had dried properly. If not there can be a clog. And make sure the arrows match up it they aren't the release won't be proper.. that's my only advice or call the company. My daughter is growing gaining weight and having normal stools. Had it over 2months without any constancy issues.

This happened to me too. Call the manufacturer (number is on the bottom of the diffuser) and report it to them. They sent me a different unit.

I haven't had that happen to mine...are you cleaning it regularly? I looked up cleaning diffusers on the computer and found a few easy to follow you tube videos with hot water and citric acid (found in the canning section of most grocery stores).

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

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

You might want to consider returning it and getting another one if the smell persists. Ive had mine for almost a year and have never had any issues with oders of any kind. Im thinking something with yours isnt quiet right.. maybe. I like mine so much if it ever quits I'll prob get another one. Dont know if this helps you any but good luck.

I recall it was rather mis-shapen when i got it but needed some time to breathe before it took on it's proper shape. The packaging should tell you how long to let it air out. If it is still mis-shapen I would contact them. It's also possible they made some modifications. The one i bought tends to sink you into the middle so perhaps they have created modifications.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

It sounds like it may need to be cleaned. You should have received cleaning instructions with the unit, but we will gladly email them to you if you need another copy. Please call our office at 800-PEST-ZAP.

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!
