Does the air purifier smell when you first start using it?

No, not all all. We love ours. The filters last a long time. It blows great and is quit unless you have it full blast. We run ours on low, and on high at night for the fan noise. I never smelled anything from it, even when the filter needed changing. Good luck.

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.

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 didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

My first filter made the air smell fantastically fresh and clean. It wore out before the warranty and the new filter made the air smell ... odd ... kind of dirty, right from the beginning. I read somewhere that this might be a result of them being stored somewhere where they pick up odors. That could be the problem for you. If it has been fine for a long time and had just recently started smelling bad, it is likely that your filter just needs to be replaced (a bad smell is a sign that the filter has just had it and you need a new one).

If it is a brand new machine, As the other reply implied, there will be a very mild smell for the first couple of times and it will slowly go away. If the machine has been used for a while and you start getting the smell, did you find anything else happening with the unit? If so, get the unit checked by an authorized service center. Call Inno Concepts at 770-594-1815 if you need further assistance.

Other than the smell of "NEWNESS" in the first few days, I have not noticed any other. I have the unit for quite a while now and it doesn't emit any kind of odor.

Essentially, no. However, I have a fan on my desk at work and I put it in front of the fan to air it out. I don't know if that made any difference, but after a couple of months, it doesn't smell much any more. It's totally annoying though.

I've never smelled that odor. However if it needs to be wiped down or vacuumed it does have a funny smell that is kind of strong. Must be the buildup of the bacteria from the air. We've had ours for several years and only replaced the filter cartridge once but we vacuum it regularly.

No, there should be no smell at all after you have hooked up all the lines or canisters.........I say AFTER because when first hooking or unhooking lines/canisters there will be some leakage.........after a certain time (10 min ?) if there is any smell you should check all lines and tanks......if STRONG smell and in confined space you should not use of course but in your situation in a green house I would think that is not so air tight but then like I said you should not have any odor, I have a little buddy set up in my garage with a 20 pound tank and also a big buddy set up at my cabin and neither has any odor at all !

Great Question. The manual will go over this in detail but most people will wait an hour before entering the room. It's always a good idea to open any windows and doors to let the room air out after using the purifier. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs(seller)

No. If it smells , it's bad. I would suggest that you return it for a replacement. Hope this helps, Maria

There was a very slight odor the first it was used. I have been very satisfied with mine.

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using 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.

We do not recall a smell when we first used the heater, and it certainly does not have one when it first starts heating now.

Hello MPollack, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness. Sometimes a new unit will emit a light odor, it's because of the heat of the ceramic core and the outer shell of the Air Purifier being plastic. This occurs generally when a heat source is first introduced into a closed area. Please be assured that the smell is not harmful in anyway and will dissipate within 1 week, if not sooner. If we can be of further assistance let us know. Thank you ! Gail
