I always fancied a small air compressor for blowing out dust on old radio chassis, car tyre inflation, spray painting and even running a grown-up Metcal desoldering station.
However, I really don't have space for a grown-up compressor, and am not going to be vehicle-mending. And it needed to be quiet in case it was used indoors.
Then I spotted this, at an amazing £67 plus £12 shipping (prices keep shifting slightly!).
I ordered one on Sunday and it turned up today by courier (Weds), all the way from the Netherlands.

It's very neat - about 320mm end-to-end and 300mm high. So it can live indoors under my testbench. Also, it's pretty quiet when it re-charges the 3L tank.
For my purposes, just what I needed, and well within budget.. I think others are selling this device at £100+
A good first experience buying through Wish, which is a bit like AliExpress but not just for Chinese vendors.
Worth a look if you've always promised yourself one.
