It's producing an odor similar to burning plastic. I know others have mentioned it. Does it go away? what is the smell?

I had a smell when I first started using it, but it was a new smell that went away in a day or two. Nothing since then.

I caught a definite heavy plastic smell from the bags all the stuff is stored in. Although I'm sensitive to such smells, this particular one smelled also of camp fire (such as a sweater that has been exposed to lots of campfire smoke) This all went away after assembly. There is no residing smell now.

the odor might come from the plastic bag,you can air it for a while ,it will go away.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

Unless your talking about the scent of clean rubber, I'm not sure what you are referring to. If there is any other odor, you should either clean it with peroxide or send it back..

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

It shouldn't smell at all. Either you have a leak, or it is not burning correctly. Good luck it should be checked.

I noticed an interesting odor when I first started operating the humidifier however that subsided within a day or so. Almost smelled like new plastic if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

When we first got it I could smell it in my coffee cup but now it has gone away. I think it is something in the plastic that eventually goes away. My wife on the other hand has never smelled it.

I just got mine and last night my kitchen had a faint burning plastic odor. I turned the thing off. If the smell dose not go away in a few weeks I'll return the unit. I expect more from an $100 coffee pot. Its possible that other people haven't smelled it because they're in a building with air conditioning where the air is always being moved around.

The unit I bought definitely puts off a plastic chemical smelling odor and it has not gone away. I have 3 other heaters that are different brands and none smell like this. I am going to get rid of this model and replace it.
