These brushes work very well and fold up nicely.  However, like other reviews on this product, the smell is overwhelming.  I left them upstairs over night in hopes that they would air out; however, the next morning, I could smell them from downstairs!  I put them outside on the porch for two days in hopes of reducing the smell and so far, it has not worked.  I'm going to leave them outside for a week and maybe spray them with a room freshener or something but if the smell continues, they will go in the trash.  I'd look for something else that is compact and doesn't smell.  It's too bad because they  are otherwise a good brush and fold up nicely.
