Does this heater have any gas smell?

No. This gas heater is vented and, as a result, all products of combustion (including the smell of gas) exit the heater via the vent in the rear and are deposited outdoors.

I have this in a fishing shanty. After the initial burn off no smell at all. The exhaust is vented outside.

No it is great! No complaints at all! We use propane gas and there is no smell at all

No, the only odor/smell is when you initially fire it up for the first time, you have to burn off the oils from manufacturing/shipping.

works great, no smell, but the brackets that hold the heat exchanger are too frail to survive shipping so you'll need to make a repair before you use it

Didn't notice any smell at all. Maybe its just the new unit smell but it doesn't last. i would take it as a clean air smell.

I only have smell when the tank is almost empty. If your getting smell it means its leaking gas.

Yes, but too early to tell savings since we are on a budget gas bill plan. Heaters are nice and give out a lot of heat. Do give out significant humidity.

We've had one for two years now and not a single odor. Also, no problems with the hose either. Been very happy!

I think that's normal, the plastic heating up for the first time. It's like turning the heater on for the first time in the fall and it has a weird odor for a day.

I have not noticed any off gassing. I'm on my 3rd set of smokestop filters and they're working better than expected without any odor.

I had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days

I noticed a faint smell when I first set mine a fairly high setting. It went away. I'm not expert but there might be some dust or something. When I first turn on a baseboard heater after months of not using one there can be a temporary faint smell.

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.

NO the noise is extremely minimal.NOW-after less than a year of which it was used only 3.5 months it started to have a gas smell from within.Energy Co. CKed it and said it was a manufacturing defect.Company would not replace except with a reconditioned one which I had to pay postage on!!It also had the same problem!!!GAVE IT AWAY for scrap!SORRY,BUT,NEVER WILL I RECCOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR ITS PRODUCTS.

I don't remember having this problem. I have had this for over a year and I don't smell the plastic smell. I love this little heater. Works as well as it did the first day we bought it!

there is an odor, however I have owned multiple lasko space heaters, as well others that are the " radiator" oil filled type. In my opinion most space heaters give off some type of an odor, after all they are electric. Also this particular model oscillates. Unless you are sitting w/in a few feet of this model, the odor is not noticeable. I hope this assists you in your decision.

No off gassing that I noticed. But if its exposed to heat (sunlight) it could smell.

I have had mine for over six months and use it most nights . Have never noticed any kind of odor, etc.

I have used mine for over a year, and my impression is that the air discharged from the unit is odorless.

No odor at all. Maybe put your little heater at a different place and away from the walls - it needs room around it to circulate air. Do not place it inside a cabinet.
