I got two of these fluffs, they are both expanding and fluffing.. but ONE of them stinks like something died inside it... why is this???

Had mine in my basement 2 years. No smell. Heard of other people with this problem in the reviews but not myself. Humidity?

I've never had that happen so maybe you got a "bad" one. See if you can exchange it. I LOVE them and rely on them to keep fruit flies out of my house all year round!

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

odor ... ummm mine has no odor what so ever perhaps you should check the package and see if it got wet or something

As I mentioned I had two of these blow up. Don't recall what the first one did, but the second one quit while making a bizarre noise. It then resumed working for awhile, until it quit completely, no power or lights at all. I just bought a Whirlpool from Amazon and it came damaged. I heard the Fedex driver drop it outside my house. It said team life, but it was just one sixty year old man. I called and they discounted it $150 for the dent on the front. I bought a three year replacement plan with it.

I bought two packages and both were wet with a funny smell. Something isn't right with this. I'm wondering if this is some kind of scam.

Mine doesn't have any leaks. Maybe you got a defected product and probably should contact the store to replace it for you. (Mine doesn't get deflated very often. I mean I inflate it like once a month or once in 3 weeks).

The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough. Perhaps the plastic cover part connected to the tube is not seated correctly. I hate to suggest it, but make sure the separate toggle switch on the back of the unit is in the ON position. It could also be broken - I don't get the impression that the unit itself is very well designed or crafted. I don't even use the humidifier function on mine anymore. It's almost impossible to keep clean. It gets moldy in the transfer tube very easily. I wish I could return it and get a designated humidifier that was designed for that purpose. In hindsight, I would recommend that you avoid this gimmicky product. It promises way more than it can deliver. The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.

mines died too. i had them in a closed terrarium perhaps they needed more fresh air.

I have same exact problem. I finally through it in the trash and purchaseda higher quality humidfer. It was fun while it lasted

I also think you should contact the seller. I've never had that problem. Either it got really hot in transit or it's from a old batch. Good luck!

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

Just air it out - fluff it - turn it over a few times. We haven't had a problem with it.
