Not that particular one, but I use the Gunson Easibleed which works on the same principle (but gets it's pressure from a tyre - I tend to run it at 15psi).
Works very well for me and has done a great job on the Mog and Mg.

Another Gunson user here.
Three watchpoints......
Good fit of the pipe from the bleed nipple to the container of fluid in a jar ( prevents air sucking back)
Correct air pressure if using a wheel! Too much blasts fluid out, too little makes it slow.
Check the reservoir bottle seals properly.

I can't be bothered with using the Esibleed anymore my solution is...
Chat up Mrs Cooper lady, install with a glass of vino in the drivers seat, pop Mog up on scissor lift, bleed...sorted !

I tried something similar with Mrs TBM, but find the Easibleed calmer, quieter and more relaxing. She is not reknowned for her patience, which is understandable as she has to live with me.....

I suspect similar with Mrs FT!

I bought a cheap hand vacuum pump bleed kit but it was pretty useless in sucking fluid through particularly on the rear. Anything that pressurises the master cylinder precludes easy checking and topping up of same.  's right foot method far superior.

. Anything that pressurises the master cylinder precludes easy checking and topping up of same. The Easibleed and the Sealey above have remote resevoirs that you pre-fill with brake fluid so no need to check and top up (unless you aim to drain an enormous amount of fluid ).
