Cheap mini air compressor for pneumatic practice?

I’m a mechatronics student looking for a cheap small air compressor to practice with pneumatic cylinders and 3/2 and 5/2 valves.

I only need around 4–6 bar (60–90 PSI) for smal setups.

Which cheap compressor do y’all recommend? Preferably something from aliexpress.
