Does this emit a (plasticy) odor as many do?

Yes it does and I can't seem to get rid of it. Hopefully time will solve this problem!!

No. There's no odor at all. I love mine, and I'm getting one for my sister for Christmas.

I've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.

I didn't have that scent with mine. I have read numerous other reviews that say the same thing about that same plastic odor and I was concerned that would be an issue but there is no distinct odor I had with mine!

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

Not really. There's a VERY mild smell of, well, cleaner, but not a strong disinfectant smell or fake perfume odor.

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

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.

Mine didn't really have a strong odor to it, but it did smell of plastic , but have no fear that goes away pretty quick, it's most likely from the heat of shipping containers and such, after one use mine was good to go, I have four of em and they are all okay now, I hope this helps Vanessa.

It did have a smell like new plastic that eventually went away.But a skunk like odor...I would have to say mine did not.

Never noticed any unusual odor. There's a slight "plasticky" smell, I suppose. Excellent tool.

It kind of smells like chemicals to me. It's a mild smell, almost like the whiff you get when you open a plastic toy container for the first time. It's not that off-putting to me, as the scent dissipates pretty rapidly after application.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

I haven't noticed any odor. Maybe a little when removing the paper backing but nothing that lasted longer than the initial installation.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

A little bit, but one you remove packaging it airs out fast. Harder plastic doesn't seem to hold any scents.
