I have a small hand held manual vacuum pump with a resevoir to collect the fluid in. The brake bleeder only needs to be opened and closed once, and they all can be done by one person. One thing that has to be watched is keep the master cylinder topped up. Works great and was about $30 in Canada. Has another use, it can be hooked up to the intake manifold to check vacuum when doing tune-ups or adjusting valves. They are available at most parts or equipment stores.
