Shockingly, I still use mine, because I've never had as good of results doing fluid flushes by other methods (vacuum, gravity, old-fashioned pedal-pumping). I got an updated hose from Motive (free!) and I am diligent about cleaning the thing with denatured alcohol after use.
I keep these on my favorites. I haven't done the mod on the second link, but thought about using it just a pressurizer and found others had thought of that as well.
