big and quiet smells | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

I have had a new Big and Quiet purifier BP04 since December 30th of 2023. About a week ago I began to notice an odd order, like a rubber glue scent, at all times the machine is running, almost 24/7 except when I’m venting CO2 from the space.

 

ive checked the carbon filter smell checked and the HEPA filter separately, after removing them, but there doesn’t appear to be an unusual source. 
 

I’ve restarted the machine after unplugging a dozen times.

 

is the source the motor, fan, or exhaust channels? Is there a solution?

Hi @Sjrdragon,

Welcome to the Dyson Community, and thanks for letting us know about this!

Brand new machines can occasionally give off a slight temporary odour. Carbon is a sponge-like filter, and can passively collect small quantities of odour-producing gas from the plastics during the transport and storage process. This can then be released when the machine is initially used, especially if the temperature and humidity is high.

We normally expect any odour to subside after a short period of use, but if you’re finding this is continuing, it’s probably best to get in touch with our regional Customer Care experts to run through some further troubleshooting checks to determine the cause.
