why does it smell like creosote?

I have no clue. After a bit the smell does go away, or maybe I have just gotten used to it.

Smells like burning oil and the smell does not go away. Don't try to return it as it cannot be disassembled.

Is it brand new? It goes away. You can buy a new filter that has a scent or washable plastic filters. The paper filters after several washings smell like wet dog. We bought the first of this model about 6 years ago. It works great for quick pick ups between "real" vacuuming. We had to replace it when my husband burned it out by not cleaning out the dirt cup.

The first few I bought didn't smell but the last 3-4 did. It goes away but as I have a cleaning service, I have to let the motor run in my house a few hours before taking it on the road.

I don't know, I'm sure it's a natural byproduct of the ingredients. I really like it and as I said in another review, just add a little orange essential oil to it and you won't notice the smell.

It has a very strong, distinct smell. I can't describe it because there's nothing else like it. Whoever said it has no smell, should get their sniffer checked! :)

I don't know - but it smells just like the sample I received from a high-end dept. store.

If the smell you mean is the smell of a diesel trunk running in you house. I do have the answer, The RegulatorMUST be in the flate side up position (the bowl side down). I do have a LP license so trust me.

That's the smell of the leonardite (roughly 90% humic acid). This is completely normal, and no cause for concern.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

It's been awhile since I used this, but I remember it having a somewhat herbal aroma. Difficult to describe. Kind of like a mix of lemon and... Rosemary? Witch hazel? Tea tree oil? It's a bit unique.

It's a mild scent. Not good; not bad. Similar to the smell of olive oil. But once on my skin, I don't smell it at all. :)

The smell is similar to Nair hair remover - nowhere near as strong, but if you recognize Nair from way back when, this has a hint of that fragrance.

It is lightly scented. ( I couldn't remember so I just went and sniffed it)

The scent is sandalwood, an ingredient found in many types of incense. Enjoy!

It has a slight smell that goes away after a day or so. I'm not sure how to descbe it exactly. Sorta like lemon and vanilla.

The smell might be that of natural cotton. I do smell that from mine (which we just got) and nothing else.
