Title: Smell of this thing is NO JOKE. I'm not sensitive--this smells like a room full of steel-belted radials...
Product review: I bought this and ignored the smell complaints. I figured they were people with upscale kitchens and houses and they were just looking for something to bitch about. That was a wrong assumption.The smell of this thing is astonishing. I tried all the tricks mentioned--I soaked it in vinegar water for over a week, and hung it outside for another week. The smell is STILL just crazy--it's makes any room its in smell like a tire store.Other than that it's fine--but I seriously don't see a way I can have this in my home. I am now trying running it in the dishwasher a few times to see what that does. I can't recommend something you have to spend this kind of effort on.
