When used for several hours, do you notice odors, headaches or other issues?

This is the first season that I've used my fireplace. While I've never smelled gas when the fireplace is on, when I first started to use it it did give off a bit of an order that I believe came from the fireplace itself and not from the gas. That his gone away over time and is nearly completely gone. I haven't noticed any headaches either with the fireplace's operation.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

No odor noticed on mine. Works well. Maybe just some dust being burned off at startup. Should not be a smell after that.

Yes it does smell but it only lasts for less than 10 minutes. They tell you not to use everythree hours, but I have and have had no ill effects.

There is a bit of an odor right at first, just be sure to leave it open over night after use and you should be fine

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

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.

Yes. I tried to sleep on mine the first night and I woke up with ringing ears and a headache, and the sensation I was sleeping in a petrochemical plant. It kind of concerns me -- what is causing that odor? It's an irritant at the least and... could it be carcinogenic?? I'm going to give these a couple of days and a few runs through the dryer and see if they air out.

I just rinse it out weekly with a soap and water, works fine for me. I haven't had an issue with odor

I had no problem with smell. Of course there is a little odor until it airs for about an hour. I have a mattress that I paid $3000 for and I sleep better on this on top of a futon.

Wow, thank you so much. I appreciate your input. I am suffering from near-daily headaches at work because of the amount of cologne and perfume in this place. I've tried to talk to HR, but nothing has worked. No one thinks their perfume is bothering anyone and people seem to take direct offense when I mention their perfume gives me a headache.I've been around some of those units that emit ozone and wow, they smell worse than the smell they're trying to cover up.Again, thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. :D

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.

It depends on individual, I use every 3days, still feel sensitive after every use, sometimes it lasts more than 8 hours. P

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

We have no problems with it. My husband (who weighs 190 lbs) uses it sometimes daily, other times a few times/week. He typically uses it for 20 minutes but sometimes 40 minutes or more. We have not smelled any burning odor. We did lubricate the belt with the lubrication received with the treadmill. We have not re-lubricated it since.

Yes! We bought a new trailer and it was full of all kinds of chemical smell. It took a while for all those materials to "out gas". But the Health mate made it possible for us to use the unit without getting any headaches.
