After this is installed and operating, are there any noticeable smells or Oder's from the ductwork ?

No. If you have the unit set to always be on and your fan is set to auto, you might notice a very faint ozone smell when the ac cycles on, but only if you're rIght under the vent and only for 2 or 3 seconds.

Yes, you will notice a different smell to the air in your house. It is gone after about a week and a half. Mine had it and the only thing I can compare it to was it smelled like a hospital. I am breathing a lot easier and have not noticed the smell recently.

The Ozone smell is always present. What happens is you get used to it and will not notice it as often. Think of it like someone who smells strongly is used to it so they don't notice it but it is still there.

Air will have a good crisp clean scent to it. But after a few days you will not notice it any longer.

The air does smell cleaner! Got to say this winter is the first time I haven't been sick. Well worth the money.

Yes, you will notice an " ozone" smell. It is not unpleasant and gets rid of cooking odors. I think it freshens the house

We have had this unit for over a year now and not experienced any of the smells you mentioned. Have you tried removing the filter and giving it a good clean, also double check that you got all the packaging off it as it has a tendency to leave little pieces stuck in the nooks and crannies.

No smell at all during or after installation. I have had it for 6 months now and it sounds so good inside the truck with my 2 12s. Its easy to apply. I have in under the carpet, door panels, headliner and front and back of the walls of my 1999 silverado ext cab. Wonderful and alot cheaper than those other brands.

I have never noticed any smell from my unit. I use it in my van to power my TV and Xbox, and an occasional battery charge. I live in my van full time so I sleep only a few feet away from it every night and it gets a lot of use. No noticeable smell.

No smell in general, but it is good to install it couple of days earlier before using it. Newly bought and packed wooden things need to 'air' a little bit I find..

I never noticed any unusual odor but just air it out for a while before you install it you won't have a problem this is a great quality product.

Hi There, Haven't noticed a sweet smell with mine. I noticed the air smelled fresher by the output vents, but not sweet.

Mine is in a detached insulated garage and only runs periodically, but i can't say i ever found a smell associated with it.

When we started ours up it didn't have any kind of new smell that other heaters have when they are first started up. I kept wondering if it was even on, and it was. It was really terrific about not having the new smell when it was fired up.

We just used it right away. I didn't notice any odors. Never thought of airing it out.

We had the smell of a new heater when it was first plugged in. I don't remember it being a metallic/plastic smell. It quickly wore off. There is no smell now.

I love the heater too. I didn't notice an offensive smell and I have a bird and dog that didn't seem affected at all. Maybe it is your unit.

Have a good sense of smell and other than when new. There was a bit of plastic odor that went away. My wife never complained and it is in our master bedroom. For a 2 years now.. The first filter a foam whatever is too dense to pass even the slo setting. I removed that and since washable it works better. With that on the front it was making the unit try and draw at the seams where the filter in framed. Still would say it is a good non hepa. The rotational feature is ??? Don't use myself. It is an electrostatic filter so that is a charges filter to attach the pollution. The charging tends to freshen the air as a byproduct. Have a good sense of smell and other than when new.

It's been a while since I purchased mine, but I left it on for a couple of hours in my garage before I started using it, and there's no smell at all when I use it now.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

I have had mine for several months and did not notice any smells when first using it. Like any new product made from plastic there may be a very slight plastic smell but has nothing to do with air quality output. I bought mine to use near the cats litter box and am very pleased with all aspects of auto mode operation.
