Does this steamer have a rubber smell from the accessories? Any strong odor, out of the box? Thanks.

I've had no smells of any sort with mine. I would bet your rubber smell goes away as they air out. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does have a smell to it when it first arrives. Since leaving it out of the box and just letting it air out I have no longer noticed the smell.

I too am bothered by strong smells and I have not had any problems with the pad. To tell you the truth except for taking it out of the box I have not smelled it at all. I got mine during the winter months and think that the heat must make the smell last a little longer because of the comments that have been made about the smell. I truly have not had a problem at all. Hope this helps you.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

Not at all my experience. I love mine. I have used mine several times and no smelly issues at all. Good luck.

I've never smelled that odor. However if it needs to be wiped down or vacuumed it does have a funny smell that is kind of strong. Must be the buildup of the bacteria from the air. We've had ours for several years and only replaced the filter cartridge once but we vacuum it regularly.

I didn't notice any unusual or strong smell at all from the wagon we received. I would have no hesitance to order the same unit again, if needed. Perhaps the one we got was an exception, but it certainly had no strange or unwanted smells. I think it's a great item.

Yes it has a hefty rubber smell, i have had it for awhile and the smell is slowly going away. but it is still there and sometimes leaves the smell on my hands after i drive. but it definitely is going away

Mine have a faint smell of rubber. Not offensive and even that is diminishing with time.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

I have never found if to have a strong odor. Mine doesn't and so far I have had no problems with using it ,

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

Mine does not have any obvious smell to it. This was my first time using it so I have nothing else to compare it to.
