anybody have a smell coming from the n 120?

Never. I have had mine several years. What kind of smell are you referring to (please clarify). Can't imagine what could even cause a smell in one of these compact units.Personally, I know we have saved money with this unit, while having a constant flow of never ending hot water. We have a home in city, with our ranch and cabin out in the country (where we spend weekends); having hot water on demand (only when we need it) allows us NOT waste money heating water on days we are not even out there. My mother has a much larger unit for her house, she is 100% satisfied with hers.

Only for a short time while it was new. I figured it was paint and or sealant curing. Been working great since for over two years now.

Yes, we also got a same problem. We've used the 17000 for 2 years without any problem. But, suddenly, it started smell fishy. We bought a new HEPA filter and replaced the old smelly one. After around 3 months, the same fishy smell started again. Now, we don't use it because we don't want to pay more on the HEPA filter. One very suspicious cause, we thought, is the scented candle.

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 :-)

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.

I had a smell in the beginning but as they say below it wore off...if it continues I would contact the manufacture for another model. Make sure to check for melting plastic...also make sure the outside doens get hot.

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

I would send it back and ask them to replace it, but call first. I just smelled mine and I wouldn't call it good smelling either....

If the smell you mean is the smell of a diesel trunk running in you house. I do have the answer, The RegulatorMUST be in the flate side up position (the bowl side down). I do have a LP license so trust me.

I have had mine over a year with no problems. I don't think it would be the machine itself. The filter is possibly the problem. If it doesn't have the charcoal portion it will not filter the odors. If it is an electrical smell, it could possibly be faulty. If it is a grease smell it would be the lubricant for the fan. The ionizer will cause its own unusual odor but it is not that bad. I have had 2 similar models over the past 23 years.....the main thing is to change filters regularly & purchase the filters with charcoal.Hope this helps.

NO the noise is extremely minimal.NOW-after less than a year of which it was used only 3.5 months it started to have a gas smell from within.Energy Co. CKed it and said it was a manufacturing defect.Company would not replace except with a reconditioned one which I had to pay postage on!!It also had the same problem!!!GAVE IT AWAY for scrap!SORRY,BUT,NEVER WILL I RECCOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR ITS PRODUCTS.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

I do not have this specific problem, but the O3 option removes all odors and leaves a fresh air smell. Just follow instructions on opening windows and exposure in the manual.
