When I opened the box I was met by a very strong odor reminiscent of paint thinner. The seller sent me a new one and told me to throw the first one away. Very good offer and quick response. Unfortunately, the second device arrived with the same problem. I left it open and unfolded in the garage for a couple of weeks. The smell has become much less, but if you try, you can still feel it. There's no chance I'll take it to my car or home. I will try to use it as a home compressor but that wasn't my initial intention when I bought it.
