How long does the plastic smell last while using it. null

I'm on day 2 of using this and the smell remains. Other places have said to give it a few days. I took the last one back because of the smell - it can't be good to breathe whatever that is. 1 more day and then this thing is going back to Target and no more Honeywells for me. Very disappointed. Seems like bad engineering.

I bought this unit there is definitely a plastic burning smell, it seems to be coming from the heating element. Despite cleaning it the smell remains.

We didn't smell it after an hour or so.

There shouldn't be a plastic smell- make sure you have removed all of the wrapping..

Thank you for your inquiry. The plastic smell comes from the packaging around product. We would advise airing the unit out for a few hours in a well ventilated area to get rid of the smell. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

I did not detect a plastic smell. I did add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the warmer and that's probably why I did not get any plastic odors.
