I have two different vacuum bleeders, but can't say I like them very much...!
I think I go for the Motive Euro version pressure bleeder....

When my flexi pipe burst
i used the Gunsoons Ezi bleeder - made bleeding the brakes 10x easier
with the whole car setup - all nipples ready to go it was
Spanner - pipe - Crack - Bleed bleed - bubble - bleed - Shut off
About 2mins ish per pipe
I knew at that point that
A - the air was pushed out as clean fluid was shown
B - it was 10x easier and 100% worth it for full satification my brakes were spot on
Downside
you need alot of fluid
Often leaves the tank over full - a turkey baster for this is great - suck a little back out - cap on

Nobody mentioned gravity bleeding,in my experiance & if you have the time the fluid can be gravity bled as many wheels at a time as you can handle,this is a slow easily managed approach make sure the pedal is fully released,keep topping up the fluid,fit bleed pipes to nipples & close off when running through clean.
You do not press the pedal & master cyl seals through long travel & risk damage,the whole process is slow & easily managed & has worked well in my
workshops for 40 years.
