What's the best counter pressure bottle filler?

[Rob2010SS]

Looking to get a counter pressure bottle filler off of Amazon with some gift cards I got for my birthday. While I'd prefer to just get the Blichmann Beer Gun, Amazon doesn't sell that so I'm limited to the counter pressure fillers sold by Amazon. Any recommendations or are they all pretty much the same?

 

[Rob2010SS]

Scratch what I said... Amazon does have the Blichmann Beer Gun. They also have the last straw bottle filler.

So I guess my question is roughly the same....

Blichmann Beer Gun, Last Straw Bottle Filler, or a counter pressure filler?

I don't believe the Last Straw is a counterpressure filler.

The Last Straw has an attachment that makes it a real counter pressure filler. I haven’t used it yet, but that is the way I’m going

You might want to check out the reviews on it before you pull the trigger, so to speak:

Correct, that's why I have it as a separate option in my question: Last straw OR counter pressure filler.

Not much of an option if you don't include the extra piece--without it, it's not a counter-pressure filler, which is what I pointed out. I had the wrong sender previously, so I suggest you look at this:

Check the reviews.

I have a last-straw filler, but not the supposed no-foam device. Used it exactly once, then graduated to filling either with a growler filler or using the poor-man's beer gun (tubing w/ a stopper connected to a picnic tap).

So here's my difficult part - the reviews for that thing are not very promising. It got a 2.8 on average. I don't want to spend $50 on something that isn't going to work.

Anyone have any personal experience with any of these?
