It doesn't smell or smoke when it is first plugged in. It is safe to use. Did you take the plastic protector off the prongs before you plugged it in? Are you using this in the US or in another country? For safety it must be plugged into the correct socket with the right voltage.

Mine does not smoke like that. There is something wrong with yours and you ought to return it. My opinion.

Hello Vireyna, Yes my Aroma ASP-137 did make heavy smoke on the first cook. The smoke will be less as you continue cooking with it. Keep in mind that with the glass lid on, you may need less heat for cooking and smoke will stay inside the cooker until you lift the lid up. Read your manual and follow the cooking instruction for the proper temperature or heat instructions and for cooking time. You can go to Roma's web site at www.Aromaco.com, they have a "contact us" with phone number to get help. The magic secret is: how much heat and how much time for cooking. Good Luck...

I had no trouble with smoking and strong smells. Did you take the plastic prongs off of the plug???? I used it Xmas eve, I have two of them, one for keeping a pasta dish warm and the other to saute seafood and had no unexpected results. I think they are great.

I am sorry but I don't have cigarette smokers in my house. I can tell you that it seems to help with cooking odors, if that helps at all. My other suggestion is that if you get it, please clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning is easy, I waited too long because I thought it would be hard.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

"You see hot air"? Do you mean you see smoke or you feel hot air? I would say it was defective. I have used mine multiple times without any issues.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

Mine is fairly new. When first used, I could small a plastic smell, and even after a few months still smell that; but it is not a burning odor. If you smell something burning, I suggest that you don't use it and return it for a replacement.

As suggested, I watch for the smoke coming through the vents and immediately close them to continue with the smoking. Make sure that the lid is tight and there will be not smoke problem. The first smoker I received did not have a tight lid - as seen before using - I returned it (no shipping cost to me). After reporting the problem, a new smoker was sent out immediately before I'd shipped the first one back. While the house is not full of smoke, there is a lingering aroma for a day or two. I don't find it unpleasant. It is suggested that the room be vented during the smoking, but I've not found it necessary. Know that it was a good choice for us.

Hi Walt, I don't know! do you have the filter in place? You are sure it's smoke and not dust? does it smell like rubber burning? Please check the rubber belt and make sure it's not twisted or jammed. Does the smoke have an order, is it like electrical burning or rubber?

I can't smell it, probably because I smoke so much. If you can then you either need to smoke more or stop smoking altogether. I am just thankfull it stops a lot of the tar from getting into my lungs. It was made to do that, not to smell good.

The torque is amazing...the first time i challenged the torque the unit emitted a electrical smell as if it were heating up components. However subsequent high-torque mixing has not resulted in any smells, the unit does get warm but it runs smooths and strong.

Have a good sense of smell and other than when new. There was a bit of plastic odor that went away. My wife never complained and it is in our master bedroom. For a 2 years now.. The first filter a foam whatever is too dense to pass even the slo setting. I removed that and since washable it works better. With that on the front it was making the unit try and draw at the seams where the filter in framed. Still would say it is a good non hepa. The rotational feature is ??? Don't use myself. It is an electrostatic filter so that is a charges filter to attach the pollution. The charging tends to freshen the air as a byproduct. Have a good sense of smell and other than when new.

I can definitely relate, as the smell is over powering. I use scented plug-ins in the areas where I use these and that has seemed to help. I've used this product over a year and either I have gotten used to the smell or it fades over time or the plug-ins work. I don't notice the smell anymore.

When reviewers refer to a smell, I believe they are referring to the smell of the machine ionizing the air. The smell is similar to that of lightning. Some people dont like the smell but I for one do. And yes it is completely normal

Ms. Kittay,I suspect you are trying to buy the smoke alarms from the same vendor I did. First of all, they do not come with an adapter. Secondly, I bought a package of 6 from the vendor to get a cheaper price. However, three of them started beeping (acting they were faulty) right from the start. My guess was that they were not "new" and might have been refurbished, although I was under the impression I was purchasing new products. So, I would instead try going to your local hardware store for these items. That way, you can return them there a lot easier (and cheaper) if they do not work out.I hope this helps you.Regards Ms. Kittay,I suspect you are trying to buy the smoke alarms from the same vendor I did.

Hello when I first plugged my heater in the first time it had a weird smell but goes away with-in a week .

I'm not sure. I just used it in my car but I don't smoke. I bought a bunch of take-out food and my car had an awful odor in it when the food was taken out. So I immediately spayed this in my car and nobody could smell the food, which I thought was great. I've even used it in the bathroom after putting chemicals in my toilet and cleaning the floor (sometimes cleaning supplies give me a bad headache), and it seemed to take those smells out too. It's not like 100 percent it's gone, but it's probably a good 95 percent better. I think it might work with smoke ... it's worth a try, I guess, because you can always use it for other odors.

I would send it back and ask for a new one. It has a strong coconut smell, it should NOT smell like cheese!
