How bad does this smell? I want to fog a venue, but I always get complaints about the smell from the fog from them.

I have bought and used this a couple of seasons. While it has a smell, I would not classify it as offensive. If you are using this indoors, keep in mind it is a very thick formula with a long hang time.

I didn't think it smelled bad if at all. I used it on my porch but I stood with it for a few hours and didn't notice anything or get a headache. I'm pretty sensitive too to smells; perfume usually annoys me and gives me headaches but not the fog :)Hope that Helps

I really like this dehumidifier and have it in a semi-basement/music studio. It is really quiet. I turn off the unit when I am using the room and I only put it on when it is damp. I think the smell could be too much for a family room unless you only ran the unit when you were not in the room. Sometimes it has a smell and sometimes it doesn't. I can't really figure out why. I wonder if it were run more continuously if the smell would go away.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

Anna, I would not suggest you do. I setup a slightly enclosed "haunted house" apx, 30ft x 20x and within 20 minutes it was fogged to the point you could hardly see while walking through it. I will say I am very happy with the fogger. It did it's job well. Just make sure you keep an eye on the fog and are there to turn it off when it gets too thick.

Do not notice fogging. I put it near sink away from tub. I have not had it long enough to comment on rust but it looks like it should last a long time without problems in this area unless you install it in a shower. Nice Quality! Stainless steel will be much more expensive.

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 have only used it 6 times now but I have not had any issue with fogginess.

I did not have that experience. Yes there is a slight smell but it isn't strong and it went away quickly. I have a high sensitivity to that stuff and so does my husband. I love the chairs.

yes. fogger is toxic, also cover dishes ect. better safe, than sorry! you must also vacate building for three hours, then open windows, to let excess toxins escape. i hope this helps out! sincerly, r.h.

I love mine and I don't have this issue. It diffuses a smell the entire time. Maybe check the oil grades you use. I use 100% plant grade oils which are strong.

It has a smell much like any other urathane product. I used it in my basement with zero ventilation and had no issues. It truely is a great product. 3 coats. Use wire wool in between each and leave the final coat.

It will work awesome if you want it for lasers, that space is slightly bigger than my living room.... Just keep in mind you have to manually push the button for fog. It made a great fog for my daughters birthday rave. Some people actually complained it was to much fog and a had to open a window for some ventilation. Works like a dream. I had no problems with clogging, but I didn't use the stuff they sent. I bought some froggies swamp juice and dumped a whole bottle of scent to mask the slight chemical smell.

Any suggestions on how someone who lives in a Manhattan apartment can get rid of the smell - whatever is causing it. I can't exactly put them outside on the street to air out. Other than the smell, they are a good size and fine for my needs so if I can get rid of the smell, it would be great.

The fogger is extremely easy to use and works very well, but I have found that I needed to repeat the application to get the results I wanted. I am in MA on a lake and it is damp and I have treated a crawl space area. Where are you located?

Smoke detectors: Yes, but it takes ALOT of smoke to cause that, have fans circulating air in the room and it will help it keep from building up. No to the sticky residue, that mostly depends upon the solution you are using. Stick with the recommended fog and you should be fine, same for food.

I found the smell very objectionable. I use this Blueair to clean the air in my bedroom (saferoom) due to chemical sensitivities and allergies and cannot tolerate the smell. I have the new filter airing outside, waiting for it to off gas - it's been out there 3 days and nights and the smell is faint, but still there. Meanwhile, I vacuumed the old filter and am using it until the new is tolerable (it's been just under 6 months so not even too old yet).
