We've tested this on a number of different things to conclude it's the outlet and not the thing being plugged in. But if it's plugged in and turned on (lamp turned on or something like an alarm clock that has no on/off switch and is thus always "on"), the smell comes within about 30-60 seconds and is quite strong. If something is plugged in and off (like a lamp in the off position), the smell does not happen. It smells kindof burnt? It happens almost immediately when something is plugged in/turned on and I promptly turn off/unplug every time so I don't know what might happen if left on/plugged in for an extended period of time (and the outlet is in my young daughter's bedroom so I'm not too inclined to find out). There is an electrical outlet in a room in my house giving off a strange smell.
