I have used eezibleed for many years fully trouble free. Read the instructions fully first.

The vacuum ones tend to suck air bubbles in through the thread and this can be easily confused with air in the fluid when bleeding in my experience.

Out of the two choices mentioned I'd go for the ezibleed. However, you can make a decent pressure bleeder out of a garden sprayer and an old brake fluid cap.

Agreed. Vacuum bleeders can be useful but you usually need to seal the bleed nipple threads with e.g. some grease to prevent them leaking. Pressure bleeders have always worked well for me.

I would suggest you buy a cheap steel oil can from halfords or the like stick a rubber hose on it. Fill with fluid ,check bleed nipples are not blocked and just pump the new fluid up hill to the master cylinder pot. Job done. It sounds simple and it is been doing this for years , give it a try.
