does anyone experience headaches from the odor from this heater

I have two I use really they are pretty much my primary heat source. My main furnace seldom comes on.. I have no problems with headaches.. Possibly your removing all the moisture from your inside air..might try a humidifier, or just letting a pot of water simmer on your stove..see if it helps.

No, there's been no odor at all from mine and I've used it all winter long for 2 years.

Brad, I have had 2 over the past 12 years and have not experienced any issues like a headache.

I would consider this as the quietest of the (3) heaters I own, one of which was 3 times more expense, the only problem I had with this heater is that it had a odor for a long time, the company tried to tell me it was oil burning off the heating elements, but it was more of a soared, musty. smell. It did finally go away, but I had to move it out of our bedroom for all of last winter.

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!

We have not noticed any smell from this heater, perhaps some dust (my fault) every now and then.

The only time I notice a smell is when I bump the heat from low to high. It has a burning dust odor for a short time - maybe a minute or 2 then it dissipates.

I bought this heater last year, it does not give off a oil smell continually like some of the other oil heaters. When you first use it there is a slight odor but it soon goes away the longer the heater is used. It is a great little heater.

I have found, that if you do not adhere to the clearances in the manual, that the sensor is so sensitive, it will affect the on, off, operation. Also, keeping the filters cleaned pretty much weekly is positively necessary for the same reason. Other than that, it's a hell of a good heater.

No odors could be a heating element problem unplug the seat. If smell goes away recommend replace could be electric issue.

There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.

No, I have had no problems with any odor. I am sorry if you had it in the past. I also use a bigger bulb which is 65 watts and there hasn't been any problem either.

I would not by the heater at all! I did and the customer service stinks and, shall I say, non-existent. I purchased another heater from Mr. Heater, it is only a few months old, so I am reserving any comments for now.

If the heater is new there is a possibility the components ( heating elements, cabinet finishes, electronics,etc) are temporarily giving off an odor which should burn off after a few hours of use.

I haven't noticed that problem, but my mom uses it in her nursing home, so there are other odors to contend with!

I have used this electric kettle every day since I received it a few weeks ago & have had no trouble with an odor.I washed it thoroughly before using it though!!

No. I vented it in the room that it is being used. I ran a flexible pipe above the sink to prevent overflow. I don't get any odor and it works well.

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but we also bought one 6 months ago, I can't remember if it had an odor but if it did it doesn't now. I'd wipe it down if you haven't and leave it in an open space to air out and see how it does.
