I set the table indoor and it keeps emitting some strange smell. Is there any method to ameliorate this situation?

I'm sorry, my table did not have this problem. Maybe another person can answer your question. Good luck.

I just got mine and last night my kitchen had a faint burning plastic odor. I turned the thing off. If the smell dose not go away in a few weeks I'll return the unit. I expect more from an $100 coffee pot. Its possible that other people haven't smelled it because they're in a building with air conditioning where the air is always being moved around.

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

Yes, the chemical odor is actually ozone being released from the machine. If the odor seems overwhelming then the purifier may be set too high for the square footage of the area it is in. Try backing the purifier down to 750 or to the RCI setting using the purifier minus button on the unit or on the remote. Remember to only use the away setting if there will be no one in the house for the amount of time the automatic timer is set on the away setting. The away mode releases a lot of ozone and it could make you feel dizzy or have a headache. But, the odor is normal. It comes from the square white ozone plate in the back of the unit, which you will see when you perform the maintenance. This is my third machine. Not, because there is anything defective but because my friends keep buying my old ones from me.

What odor? Try washing the chair with a disinfectant and air dry. If that doesn't work, return it.

I haven't noticed a smell, but try isopropyl/rubbing alcohol, it should destroy any germs/smells.

I would not use any appliance if it smells like something is burning. I would contact the mfr. immediately. We have one, it works fine and there is no odor.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

No odor. There was a little dent in it though....not real noticeable and wouldn't affect the purpose of the table.

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.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

Mine is indoors. However it has developed a few small areas of mold inside, which can be removed with a dilute vinegar solution (5 tbsp to pint of water). I would think that this might be more of a problem in a high humidity environment. You might use a bucket(s) of dehumidifying crystals to reduce the humidity.

Hey there.... It has a smell. It isn't too bad but I would avoid breathing much of it. It can make me dizzy. I don't have a wood oak table but I do have a wood table that doesn't have a sealing finish on it. Meaning it is just stained. I have tried some other things but really like this stuff for my dining table. I don't like the smell but I am sensitive. I feel the results of using it are worth putting up with the smell. My table is a medium brown. Using this product has given it a nice patina if you will but has not discolored my table. I do need to reapply the wax about once a month. Just like waxing a car you only want to apply a thin coat. Hope this helps.... Hey there.... It has a smell. It isn't too bad but I would avoid breathing much of it. It can make me dizzy.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.
