Smells like GASOLINE!
OK, I was really excited by this product and when it arrived and I took it out of its box right away. Upon opening it I was punched in the face by an overwhelming stench of gasoline - actually more like someone doused it in gasoline then torched the rubber and then doused it in gasoline again. But despite the smell I put it together, no directions but simple enough: 1 long metal rod, 2 wheels, and 2 handles.<br /><br />After I assembled it I decided to give it a go on the floor - it also comes with a really thin piece of cloth-y material they call a &#34;knee pad&#34;. I rolled with it a few times. Seems like it will give you a pretty good workout but I couldn't continue because the smell was really gross. It stuck to my hands. I had to wash, uh... scrub my hands in dish detergent to get the smell out.<br /><br />I received it Tuesday. It is now Friday afternoon and it is in bathtub soaking in soap water - that's right, it still SMELLS! I was hoping it would air out instead it has poisoned my apartment with its terrible smell. It's on it second soak. The first soak made a little difference. I'm hoping it will at least be usable by this weekend.<br /><br />I'm usually an idiot with purchases and I threw the box away that night. I should call the company and complain, but again, I'm an idiot. I would give one star but the product itself does have potential to be good, it just has to stop stinking like rubber set on fire.<br /><br />I'm very sensitive to harsh smells and perfumes so of course I'm nearly dying from the stench. BUT my husband where nothing bothers him  is so confused, confounded, disgusted by the way this thing smells - is it just mine?? Has no one received it this way? What the heck! Maybe I should call the seller - it smells like it could kill plants and small animals...
