No smell, but we have a caked-on layer of rust. The home is about 1 3/4 yrs old. (Our stainless steel InSinkerator at the other home is 12 yrs old and just fine.) I called the warrantee dept, who referred me to CRM plumbing who did the house. Technician arrived and verified the rust, but said that it is normal with the builder's model. He wanted $195 to replace it with the same thing. When we declined, he wanted $40 for a service call. We refused, and called the CRM office. A belligerent office mgr told us that he was giving us half off the regular house call cost. The tech made a second call, and dropped the fee.

So, when the unit dies, I'll get an upgraded one, and NOT use CRM Plumbing.
