Can anybody who's given this 4+ stars update about the smell many other reviewers are experiencing with this tray? Thanks!

I didn't notice any smell myself. If there is one, it didn't seem to seep into the ice cubes.

I have not had any issues with smell. That said, I tend to empty the tray into a larger ice cube container in the freezer fairly frequently in order to make more ice cubes. So they don't end up sitting in the silicon tray that long (maybe a week at the most).

I have not smelled anything with this tray. Maybe the foods that it is near give off an odor? I am very satisfied with this.

Wow! We smelled nothing on opening it, and I have a really sensitive sense of smell. Then I washed it w/mild soapy water. We use it every week. Think I bought 6 or more of these!

There was no smell that I ever noticed and I have a very sensitive sense of smell.

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.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

First of all are you changing out the whole tray and litter every 2-4 weeks? I have no problem with smell at all from urine or feces. I have 1 cat and she does go back by the rakes and urinates in the same spot all the time as well but I move fresh litter on top of it and leave the soiled one alone on the bottom. I do take out the feces because they can start smelling but I mostly do that to check and make sure she's going regularly. I can change out my whole tray and litter in about a month for her and I never ever have problems with it smelling at all! When I do change it out I do wipe down the rake and inside and outside of the litter machine with Lysol wipes lemon scented and then put in a new tray and new litter. If it smells bad cats won't use it and they have sensitive noses and can be very finicky about there litter boxes if not kept clean,neat and smell free.Good luck hope all this helps. I have yet to have any problems with this product and have been using it for over 1 1/2 years. Before that I used a regular litter box with arm and hammer double duty litter and still never had a smell problem but I scooped the litter box 2 times a day with that stuff.

Mine is fairly new. When first used, I could small a plastic smell, and even after a few months still smell that; but it is not a burning odor. If you smell something burning, I suggest that you don't use it and return it for a replacement.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. I just talked to the manufacturer and they told me that the new units can give off a slight smell because you are introducing heat to the ceramic core. The smell should go away in about a week and it is not harmful in any way. If we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Wow! No, mine does not at all.Maybe try soaking it in a sink with some water and citrus hand soap or dish soap. Hopefully whatever is giving off the odor is just on the surface.

No, there should not be an odor. Something must be wrong with the particular item you purchased. I would send it back and ask for an exchange. I have never noticed any odor at all and I have used it for years. Good luck!

I've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

I didn't experience the smell! Check with customer service! Hope that helped!

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

I don't remember if I noticed anything when I got it, but probably not. I just got up close to mine to see if there's any odor now, but all I smell is the sisal. How annoying for you!

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...

My last couple of orders have been through Amazon and no smell problem noted. Take it back to your health food store and ask for a replacement. Then smell the replacement in the store before you leave.
