Does this heater give off any kind of bad smell?

there is an odor, however I have owned multiple lasko space heaters, as well others that are the " radiator" oil filled type. In my opinion most space heaters give off some type of an odor, after all they are electric. Also this particular model oscillates. Unless you are sitting w/in a few feet of this model, the odor is not noticeable. I hope this assists you in your decision.

Shouldn't, I haven't received any complaint, just happiness and satisfaction. ...Maybe if it got dust or hairs inside on the filaments.

No mine's all good but I do have a plug in air purifier next to it. Honestly I never did smell anything sorry your having trouble.

I'm sure it is safe. I returned my heater, but it was due to it being loud, although it is advertised as being quiet. The performance (heating) was good.

I bought this heater last year, it does not give off a oil smell continually like some of the other oil heaters. When you first use it there is a slight odor but it soon goes away the longer the heater is used. It is a great little heater.

We have not noticed any smell from this heater, perhaps some dust (my fault) every now and then.

My heater had a VERY brief smell-I would be concerned if it is lasting any length of time. Make sure the back is clear and there is some clearance underneath. (Ours is on a hardwood floor) Good luck-I really like ours.

We have not used it enough or had it long enough to worry about that. I am not sure that I have ever cleaned the inside of a small heater and don't recall noticing that it ever got dirty.

I had no problem with smell. I used it in a small bathroom with no windows.

It may have an odor upon opening it, and using it for the first few times. It should quickly burn off. Remember, this is using the power a small window air conditioner or a portable electric heater. Keep an eye on it for the first few uses, but I think you'll be fine.

The unit will heat up pretty fast ... and will start to produce heavy odor after a couple of months of daily use. I had 3 units installed in my basement that I replaced with the regular baseboard heaters after first winter.

No I have never had it smell-it just charges my RV batteries from the 100w solar panels.

There is no odor when they heater is running. Surprisingly it is made up of a wood box. It also stays cool on the outside while pumping out IR energy. It is all it claims to be. I was in a motorhome 20 degrees outside and it kept up to keep me comfortable in most areas of the mobile home. The dog loved it also!

There never was an odor of heated plastic. Of course, since this heater is in our chicken coop, it may not have been noticeable.

I love the heater too. I didn't notice an offensive smell and I have a bird and dog that didn't seem affected at all. Maybe it is your unit.

I have used this electric kettle every day since I received it a few weeks ago & have had no trouble with an odor.I washed it thoroughly before using it though!!

Yes, it does. It's a nice heater, if you get past the plastic odor it puts out. I don't notice it much anymore, but it still bothers my wife.
