Comments
Poor people. The device is undoubtedly convenient, but in parallel with the poisons, exhaust gases from using gasoline will also be inhaled. Plus, there is sound that forces you to work with headphones. There is an ambivalent impression about the device.
Interesting, how much will it weigh in working order, loaded with mixture and gasoline? And what kind of physical training do you need to have to work with it, and has anyone used it in practice?
