Vacuum Pumps for the roto-vaps

Have any of you had any experience with using a vacuum pump for a rotary
evaporator instead of a water aspirator?

I saw this site (http://www.knf.com/labrotovap.htm) that advertized
several products for this purpose (on the ACS Weekly Newsletter) and I
am asking your opinions

 

 

Thanks,

-Russ
