Home compressor

[GrierHPharmD]

I know that some folks here probably have home compressors and do their own fills. Any suggestions as to a reliable, affordable compressor for non-commercial use? The ones that I've seen advertised seem pretty expensive, but my guess is that there are probably some less expensive models that are marketed for other applications that might fit the bill.

Anybody with experience care to comment?

Thanks in advance,
Grier

The cheapest will still run several thousand dollars.

Mine's an "Aerosub" - nice little 4 stage. Got it used at about a sixth of the new price. On the downside, I doubt I can get parts for it if I ever need 'em and I have to repack the filters myself.
