Anyone ever use a power bleeder

Has anyone ever used a power bleeder for their brakes. If so what model did you use?

As in a service flush machine, or a suction pump?

I've have the Motive and it's really good.

For less money, if you only have one car I'd do speedbleeders instead. I have multiple vehicles so a power bleeder is worthwhile.

I have multiple vehicles. Which model of motive power bleeder do you have? There is a couple of them and I have already ordered one that did not fit my car.

That, or just crack the bleeders and let them bleed themselves for a few hours...

I got the "import" kit and also the universal adapter so I can use it on the F-150.

Motive bleeder works fine, but the clean up of the Motive bottle and hose is nasty.
