Hit-or-miss popping & material absorbs odors
933344
The microwave instructions specifically state: "cook on high (800W)".  Food cooks faster and more even with a higher wattage, and most microwaves tend to be higher than 800W.  If you have a 1000W microwave you may find it easier to adjust for the right setting, but if you have a 1300W, as I do, it's hit-or-miss.  Not only did this product leave a lot of kernels unpopped (a total waste), but the silicone absorbs odors and if any popcorn burns the smell cannot be thoroughly removed.  This popcorn maker was a gift and seemed like a good idea, but after using it for two weeks I put it away and went back to buying organic microwave popcorn.

Was fairly easy to assemble but noticed a bad odor within a day of putting the unit up in our guest room that I have not been able to get rid of, smells a bit like vomit and it's definitely coming from this material.  Tried wiping down with wet cloth and been airing the room out for a week and still no luck.  It looks nice enough but if we can't get rid of the smell we'll likely have to get rid of it unfortunately.

The odor -- "off-gassing" -- that thus air mattress gave off made it unusable for my niece. I tried hanging it outside the window for two nights and still, the heavy vinyl odor would not abate.

I love the ease of ice cube removal with the silicone trays, but after about seven months they absorbed freezer odors and made the ice cubes taste awful. There is nothing that can remove the smell; I've tried it all the suggested methods and they just don't work (no, not even the cheap, odor-less kitty litter in a Ziploc bag.) Still, I may give my freezer a heavy-duty scouring and purchase a fresh set of trays to see if that keeps them smelling fresher for longer.

The smell is awful. It is not going away. Sprayed with perfume and febreeze. Still nasty. The snap feels like it is going to break. I would have preferred a better latch there to protect my items.  Other than that the overall design is good with plenty of space.  Just fix the smell and the snap and you'd have a five star review.

Edit: So after a few weeks the snap no longer snaps.  This wallet is now useless to me. Stay clear!

My cat (or cats - we have 4) decided that peeing on the mat would be great fun - oh the smell - anyway, you can imagine the mess and I found that the smell obsorbed into the rug, not even bleach and soaking could free me from the smell.

What I bought it for was to place it under my Cat Genie to collect plastic pellets, which it did very well, but the smell proved to be a big issue unfortunately.

I purchased 2 of these to help clean the air at my workplace as well as living quarters. One works fine (its been 1 week so far) the other not so much. It now can only be run on low, medium speed lets out a grinding noise and High give off a distinct electrical smell. I would request a replacement but it takes 3 weeks for it to get out where I am let alone sending the damaged one back so, in a word, I am DISAPPOINTED with 50% of the purchase.

Our cat eats Blue Buffalo canned food and his litter box is in our living room.  Perhaps needless to say, it's imperative that we have a litter that controls odor but doesn't kick a bunch of dust or artificial perfumes into the air, especially since the cat seems to favor using his box right before I'm ready to eat.  We've been through a variety of litters, none of which we were really satisfied with.  When I heard BB was coming out with a litter, I was eager to try.  From the very first use, it became obvious how obnoxiously this litter tracks.  The pieces are so big, and my cat is not only messy, but RUNS! away from the litter box when he's done that the pieces are always all over the carpet, but I'm willing to deal with that because I don't choke on litter dust for the next twenty minutes after he's been in there.  The only other hurtle has been the odor control, but a dusting of baking soda in his box remedied that immediately--even though he's using the box all of five feet away, I often don't smell him while he makes a dookie.  I have my living room back.

I really wanted to love these bags. I don't, but I do like them. They're a reasonable size for small and medium-sized dogs, and spacious enough for my large-ish hands, but these will be hard to use for "large-production" animals. The dispenser also seems to be a quality item. However, my shorting them a star is the result of odor control. They do a fine job, about as well as any I've used, but I was really hoping they would contain the odors almost completely. I have a very sensitive nose, and am still in search of a great odor-containing, reasonably-priced poop bag. Micron thickness alone doesn't seem to tell the whole story (these are 12, I've tried a 15 that was worse). For now, I will just double-bag.  If you have suggestions, please feel free to share!

Does the job mostly, but cracks and pops more than I would like.

Tried this pillow for a week, couldn't hack the smell.  Even after washing the cover and letting it air out for a week before use, a strong smell persisted.

The pillow wasn't uncomfortable, but I would say the one I received was slightly under-stuffed.  If you hold the pillow by one end, about 3/4 of the pillow would be full.  If you move around during the night, the pillow can be very uneven due to the lack of stuffing.

Unfortunate, I really wanted to like this, latex is a very eco-friendly material with great properties..  Was considering a latex mattress, but if it smells anything like this that is out.

I found this product to be barely OK. It arrived quite promptly. The first item we pulled out of the box was the top frame of the cabinet and there was an obvious scratch/scrape right on the front of it plus some evidence that someone tried to cover up the scraping with little or no success. We decided to proceed with putting together the cabinet to see how obvious the scrape would be and if we could cover it up ourselves with a little bit of paint. The instructions were clear and it ended up being an attractive cabinet. The major lingering issue has been an extremely strong smell of solvent on each piece of the cabinet. Thankfully it is summertime and we have are able to open all the windows. However, after 4 days of airing out the cabinet, the strong solvent smell has remained without fading at all. Finally today I washed down the whole cabinet three times with a mild soap and have had moderate success at removing the strong odor. If the odor is not gone by the fourth washing we will need to return the product. It is hard to consider returning this cabinet after so much time has been invested in it.

Does what it claims to do, but use it in well ventilated space and it takes quite a while (weeks) for the odor to dissipate

The smell is bearable, although I don't particularly like it. I also don't feel like it actually eliminates odors, it just masks them by basically providing a stronger smell. My problems with this product:
- awkward delivery method. You're supposed to put this stuff, which has the consistence of jello, in open containers around the house. These open containers can be easily tripped and the are definitely unsightly. Once they stuff dries out, it leaves hard to remove crystals on the containers, making them hard to reuse
- as expressed by other reviewers, the gel dries out very fast, which makes it expensive relative to other products and a chore to replenish. I went through a whole 64 oz jar in less than a month (spread around in 6 small coffee cup plates).

I would not buy again / recommend.

I was so excited to try out the new Clump & Seal cat litter, and yesterday, I poured it into a completely clean and empty litterbox. I believe in leading off with the positives...what do I love about Clump & Seal? Well, there was no dust, a big plus. It seems to be harder for my 2 cats to track than their other litter (Fresh Step Extreme), for which I'm sure my vacuum is thankful, so that was a plus.

But that's all outweighed by the only downside...the downside being that, less than 24 hours after putting it into a clean, empty litterbox, the air around said litterbox now smells like a nauseating blend of fresh litter and...well...no-so-fresh litter. I have a really good nose, but even with that in mind, it *definitely* smells like fresh AND old litter.

I can see where this product would be awesome for a one-cat household, however, I found that when there is more than one cat involved, the odor control is nearly non-existent. I've used regular Arm & Hammer clumping litter, and even that stays fresh-smelling for at least two days before the odor is noticeable.

I gave it two stars because I don't *hate* it...but the two upsides I found (no dust and no tracking) just don't outweigh or even balance the one massive downside (poor odor control).

Unfortunately, I will be making the switch back to Fresh Step Extreme, but only because I can't stand smelling a litter box less than a day after I cleaned it. My vacuum will just have to suffer, I suppose.

I haver 2 of these tripods and ended up having to throw one of them away because there is some type of horrific odor that won't go away. It was also received with broken levels (little ports with liquid and bubble to help you level it).  Interestingly, I the odor is the same on both items received but the first one was not nearly as bad as the second.

Build quality is ok but I would recommend other manufacturers.

Given the smell (glue? coating? Other?) I cannot recommend this product

Very strong chemical odor (VOCs)! My Macbook Pro could not breathe and almost died inside - It has respiratory problems now, sad.

Otherwise the sleeve looks fine - it's very thin and provides minimal protection. Would give it 4 stars but the odor was overwhelming and it's not my job to let it gas out if that even works.
