I open the package about one month ago. The smell is terrible. I put it in my garage, then the garage full of the terrible smell. I belive this smell is toxic. I moved it my my yard now. But still can smell the terrible smell. Is this normal for your...

Mine smells also. I covered the padding on the handle with duct tape to cover the smell. I thing some of the smell is also from the tire material. The package did have a note in it stating that long time exposure to some parts may cause cancer. I keep my mower in the house. I got my mower at the beginning of summer and the smell is now gone. Cover exposed parts with a tarp. An electric mower probably should not be left outside to the elements. I love my mower despite the smell. I have fibromyalgia and the electric start really helps me.

I had the same issue, the smell was horrible, I did put in the washer and put in Downy, smell almost gone. I bought at a trade show, if I would have opened the little bag, probably not bought

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...

It has a synthetic type smell when it's new, but that disapates within a day or two out of the packaging. If it lasts longer than that, could be moldy from being wet or something and you should get another

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

We have one in our backyard and I almost never smell it. The only time I have noticed a smell has been when the lid is open and I am dumping more kitchen scraps in it and even then it's not that often. All the compost books say if it does smell bad that means you need more greens or browns depending on the smell.

Hi, the one I bought has the same smell. I think that's normal. It does not bother me.

I've had 2 batches that had the terrible smell. The first I poured out thinking it had gone bad. Then I read somewhere that sometimes racking it repeatedly and getting more oxygen into it makes the smell go away. I tried that the second time it happened to me and the smell disappeared. Not sure what will happen now that it's bottled.

Cathy, You are correct. The trap uses a mix of pheromones that can get quite "stinky". Outside you may notice it when you're within 5 feet or so of the trap. Inside the home? I'm sure you'd be able to notice the smell a lot further away and I can't imagine it would be acceptable.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

The smell did not bother me, but I suppose each of us have a different sensitivity. It's a citris smell (orange mostly) which could probably be called strong by some people, but again, I was fine with it. It disipates quickly so I don't think it would it stay long in your car.

They do have a strong odor when you open the package. I left mine in the garage for a few days and that helped. There is still an odor but you have to be right near to notice it.

I haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

Totally. I could smell it already when the clerk loaded it into our car. I opened the box in the garage to air it out for a few weeks. We just set it up in the nursery and I can still smell a "chlorine-like" odor. I don't understand how this is a "baby-safe" finish if it is giving off this scent?

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

I clean it in the back yard every week with a organic cleaner, so it doesn't start to hold odor. I have replaced it three times in 15 months, but I am a clean freak.

Hmm, I just went over and sniffed our set and I don't smell anything in particular. I think we've had this since July, so perhaps it's off-gassed since then but I really don't remember the set having a toxic smell when we opened it and started playing with it.
