Motive Products Black Label Aluminum European Power Bleeder & Genesis Technologies Cable Mount Bleeder Bottle

This power bleeder is very nice. Unlike the vacuum style, I don't have to hook it up to the air compressor and have that noise going on while I bleed the brakes. A true one man operation. I used the catch bottle to suck out the old fluid in the reservoir. Simply put the tube in the reservoir and squeeze the bottle then release. As the bottle returns to a round shape it sucks out the old fluid. Repeat several times to remove most of the fluid. I purchased this bleeder with the appropriate screw on adapter for my car's brake reservoir. So easy. Just put a liter of fresh brake fluid in the big bottle, attach to the reservoir, and pump it up to 15 to 20 psi. Then go around and bleed each caliper until fresh fluid comes out. Total brake fluid flush in about 10 minutes. It takes longer than that to jack up the car and remove all the wheels. I'm a big fan of this tool.

Highly recommend this for anyone interested in bleeding their own brakes in a shop or at home. It’s well made and works as described.They have a variety of different adapters for all types of master cylinder tops.

The thing does exactly what it's supposed to do - allows you to bleed brakes without an assistant or needing to keep topping up the fluid in the reservoir.Cleanup is a little bit of a pain (but that's mostly because you're working with brake fluid. The hose is plenty long, which I actually found inconvenient, but if you had this sitting on the ground or on a workbench next to the car it may be of use.I also think it was a little expensive for what is essentially a weed sprayer with a fitted end. It did allow me to get the jobs done by myself, though, so I guess it's got that going for it, which is nice.

This Motive Power Bleeder and Genesis Bleeder bottle are truly a god-send combo! This was my first time flushing the brake fluid on my E46 and wow, I could not be happier with the ease of this job. I was done in about 1hr; I think I spent double the amount of time just preparing everything and making sure I wasn't gonna miss a step in the process. I will save lots of money since I have to do a flush on my E90 also. In other words folks, this item pays for itself the first time (Indy shop quoted me $105 plus tax and fees). If you need to do a flush or just a brake bleed, buy this, you will not regret it!

Pumping mechanism defective, item returned for refund

The system did not pressurize for me. Much of the cost on this item must be in all the brass fittings. Since it would not pressurize, I returned it and went for an alternate brand. Perhaps this a fluke for the brand, I don't know, but wasn't overly thrilled having to delay my project.

works great for bmw's of all models

I have a Porsche 911 and changed brake fluid for first time. The cap for reservoir fits and good quality. No leaks. nice features. Hardest part by far is removing and cleaning and replacing wheels.
