Default brake bleeders

Are there any cons to using a vacuum style brake bleeder?
I would just get speed bleeders for the R, but I really need a
multi-vehicle device.
Anyone have any good experiences with a particular brand?
Thanks

If your not careful you can suck air into your lines.

What's the best method besides getting the girl to step on the brake while I wash the floor with brake fluid?

silicon tube over bleeder screw and one end in a coke bottle submerged in fluid will work better than a speed bleeder for mess control and just as well to keep air out of the line. I had speed bleeders and even though they are cheap this methind is easier anc cheaper. no need to do anything other than submerge the end of the hose in the coke bottle and pump till the air is gone which you can see in a clear hose.

get hose at your local hobby shop which is used for RC car gas lines.
