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

I noticed the smell upon opening mine too. The smell seemed to come from all the little desiccant packs. Throw them away and double check because theirs a lot of them in all the pockets. And after I took all of them out. I just left the pack open on my hot and humid porch. Even if you did nothing. I would assume the smell would eventually fade over time, Till then just try storing it away from you till the smell dies down some.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

I ended up returning my order for a different reason but remember reading that one customer did have a problem with a strong odor. There wasn't any problem with an odor with the one we received, or apparently for others since they aren't mentioning it. Maybe return yours and try again with another? That's the great thing (one of them) about Amazon!

Hello Jeanne, I had the same issue. Apparently there was a bad batch shipped out. Please contact fintankelly@bubblebum.us and let her know the issue. They have EXCELLENT customer service and will resolve the issue. In my case they replaced both my seats immediately at no cost to me! Once you get the replacements, you will love this product! Kelly did tell me that the seat was tested deflated also and meets safety standards without air provided you use the belt hooks on both sides of the seat to keep the belt snug across your child.

I had one of these things a couple of years ago & it started leaking within a few weeks. It also didn't stay cool.Inconsistent quality is apparently the problem. Contact the company & see what happens. I returned mine to Bed Bath Beyond & told them the problem. Apparently I wasn't the only one to return them.

It is faulty, I have had several of these and once in a while you get one like this...sorry but they are cheap. The one I have now flows great too, like most do. It must be something to do with manufacture process...FYI

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.

I began smelling burning too around my 10th use, I noticed the fluff pressing against the stationary wheel (from where the resistance gears are) has been coming off. I plan to look further into it or call the company. It's like it's being burned off - turns into white powder...

It's new to us so we've only used one so far. That one wasn't clumped together, so not sure if this will happen more when they age. Sorry...

I haven't had that happen to mine...are you cleaning it regularly? I looked up cleaning diffusers on the computer and found a few easy to follow you tube videos with hot water and citric acid (found in the canning section of most grocery stores).

It sounds like it may need to be cleaned. You should have received cleaning instructions with the unit, but we will gladly email them to you if you need another copy. Please call our office at 800-PEST-ZAP.

I'm sure you've dealt with this by now, but for others who might read this. I have two of these wonderful crocks. I noticed a lingering odor in one after fermenting pickles. I use nothing more than earth friendly dish soap and water for cleaning. Over time the odor disappeared on its own. I was unconcerned as I knew that I would only be using it for fermenting food.

I would remove one (and plug the hole) and see if the smell remains. If it's gone, try the other one and see if it makes it smell. If neither one is the culprit, it could be that installing two together is problematic. I would check with Honeywell and ask them the question. Good luck. Oh, and check inside the cabinet (lights off of course) for any exposed plastic... it will disintegrate quickly when constantly exposed to the uv. You can cover it with aluminum tape for a solution.

I would for sure make sure everything had dried properly. If not there can be a clog. And make sure the arrows match up it they aren't the release won't be proper.. that's my only advice or call the company. My daughter is growing gaining weight and having normal stools. Had it over 2months without any constancy issues.

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.
