I thought this was going to be a good air compressor, and for a year it worked great for car and bicycle tires. However, like others experiences, it did have a slight burning smell. At the time of this writing the motor has burned out and stopped working..on its final use you could see the smoke and a visible flame inside the unit and chugged at half speed. It gave off what i hope isn't a toxic odor. Avoid this air compressor.
