I have both the vacuum and pressure type one man brake bleeders.  The pressure
type is the winner hands down, it is much easier and faster to use.

The stream of bubbles from around the bleeder valve is not a big deal with the
vacuum type, it doesn't affect the outcome.  BUT, if you have to change any
amount of fluid out of the brake system, pumping the vacuum type is more tedious
than having a person pump the brake pedal (because YOU have to pump the vacuum
job).

One added benefit of the pressure bleeder over both the vacuum type and the DIY
pressure bleeder (tire valve and a spare reservoir cap) is that it has an
external reservoir.  If you have bled brakes before you're now saying Ahhhhhh
and disturbing your neighbors.

The pressure bleeder at $33 (includes shipping) is cheaper too.  The one I have
is called Eazibleed, I've seen them advertised in the back of a couple of car
mags, I could get the details, if coerced, but I'm not (normally) a salesman.
