I run an electric vacuum pump and a catch jar. If I didn't have the pump, I would get a $9 venturi vacuum pump from HF and do it. When you pull a vacuum to suck the fluid through, the bubbles get bigger and are more easily flushed. The little hand pump has such a small catch jar that it is worthless IMHO.
I don't just bleed, I run it until you get clean fluid due to flushing the system. I have someone stay at the master cylinder and keep it full. I can go around to each wheel and have a full flush/bleed done in less than 10 minutes. Vacuum bleeders also will bleed clutch systems where nothing else will work.
