is it everytime you use it that the smell will come or the first time only

The burning smell kept happening with us to the point where it set off the smoke alarms on a shoot. We returned this light.

Only until it burns off the layer of coating. I have had them for about a year now and the smell was gone after the 3rd time using them.

The smell dies down. There is still a slight smell at close proximity after continued use.

I've never had an issue with the smell, but you could always wash it one more time with a scented shampoo. This is assuming, of course, that you have let the medicated shampoo set on your scalp for 10 mintues or so, to gain the most effective use of the product.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

I have used repeatedly but never had a prior smell so cannot answer this question. I have found it effective.

These seem to put off that smell initially, like a lot of mechinical items running for the first time. It definitely goes away after the first or second extended use though. If not, you probably have a defective product.

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 don't remember if it smelled the very first time out of the package. But it doesn't smell when I turn it on after having it for a year.

Yes it does smell but it only lasts for less than 10 minutes. They tell you not to use everythree hours, but I have and have had no ill effects.

The smell will go away after the toaster has been used 2 or 3 times. It's just the "new" smell.

Yes you need to the first time you use it as per the instructions. This is done to remove moisture in the system.

No, the only odor/smell is when you initially fire it up for the first time, you have to burn off the oils from manufacturing/shipping.

It really does depend on your circumstances. Anywhere from once a month to once every six months or so. My personal method of checking it is to take it outside and smell it. If you can smell the odors you are trying to get rid of, recharge it.

Are you changing the water each time and using the filters? It may smell the 1st time after that it should be okay

I left it outside and open for about 3 days. I had the same problem with the smell but I just started using it and after the first day at the beach the smell was gone. Don't ask me why.

I have that problem too. It is the filter. Once you change the filter the smell goes away. However, it seems like I always have to change the filter!

I don't know. I opened the box, put the thing together and stuck it in a bigger box to wrap for Christmas. The smell really wasn't that bad when I opened it, so I would assume that the smell would go away after being used outside a few times.

I did not notice any nasty smells. We did wash it before using it the first time, just in case.
