Default Quick and tidy oil change?

Has anyone used these devices before to extract the oil through the dipstick checker port?

Read about them on other forums and folks seems over the moon that you no longer need to remove the sump plug in order to extract all the engine oil.

Quick and no messy.

Looks like a pen15 enlarger to me. Can't see how it beats gravity at getting old oil out. Also will all the particles deposited in the sump be dragged through the oilways?

Its for use on such cars as mercedes A class. Mercedes in there wisdom dont fit drain plugs on them. The only way to change oil on the is to suck it out the dipstick hole. Apsolute nonsense in my opinion

Or wait till it rolls over onto its roof... easy to drain the oil out of the dip stick hole then.

As for the device itself... I'd rather my neighbours see me under my car with a socket and bucket than with the bonnet open and a male-member enhancer in my hand.
