Its a great addition to home workshop. I found it impossible to mount Challenge Getaway pro 700x45 onto my gravel bike until I bought this, even CO2 failed. Great purchase. To release the air, rather than unscrew at the valve end I just pop the track pump off the presta on the booster and let it out that end, quick and safe
This is a pro tip. This has happened to me before with another brand booster and didn't think to leave the pump attached. I have now moved to a small air compressor.
I have one which I use for 25mm road bike tires. However, most of the time the tires unseat themselves after letting out the air having me start the whole struggle allover again.
Pro tip. Make room in your life for an air compressor. Once you have one you'll wonder how you ever lived without one. Hands down the most used oower tool in my bike garage / workshop. Compressed air is also awesome for cleaning dirty mountain and gravel bikes.
I totally agree, but not everyone has space in their life for one. If you live in an apartment, especially if you have a family, it's hard to make the case to take up the space. That's where devices like this come in. It's great that there's a viable option.
If you have space in your life for one, an air compressor is the better option. You can find a 150PSI air compressor for around the same price (~$120). This product is intended for those folks who don't.

Isn't it cheaper to buy an air compressor?
