Art with a Twist

Hello everyone!  I haven't posted much here recently, but I'm hoping to change that soon!   :)
  Anyway I'm dreaming about buying a balloon inflator, for the big decorating jobs we occasionally do.  I know next to nothing about them, since I'm fairly new to decor (twisting is more my forte) and I am NOT good with electronics.  The one I like the sound of is the Conwin Air Force 4, the one with 4 outlets and the foot pedal.  (There are always at least 3 people setting up, so plenty of outlets would be nice.)  Totally out of my budget, but if I'm saving up for one I want the best.
  So.... If you own an inflator, how big a difference did it make for you?  What's your favorite one?  Are the higher priced ones worth it?  Right now we're using a compressor-- works, but it's noisy, kind of slow, ridiculous to haul around, and overheats.  I'm assuming most inflators work without a compressor hooked up to them; otherwise it would kind of defeat the purpose of eliminating the compressor.  Am I wrong?  Thanks in advance for any advice you'd like to share!

Thanks, Graham!  Yes, actually I did see those.  They helped some, but I was hoping to maybe hear from folks who owned them and maybe get a sort of review.  Thank you though!

Evening,   I am a decorator and not a twister and after about 5 years I bought the conwin air compressor -  spoke to my wholesaler about the pro's and cons of buying a cheaper version and other models and went for the conwin model,  yes its the most expensive but he never moans ,  always get the job done,  saves me so much time for the larger jobs its un real.

So this is just my thoughts,  its akin to having another pair of hands whilst working -  sure others haver their faves as well so you should get some interesting comments and thoughts from others.

Good luck with that ever you decide,
