Air Compressor driven (Vacuum) Brake Bleeder

Has anyone used a compressor driven brake bleeder (as opposed to an Eezibleed)

See link for details http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=040210047

I was led to believe that this was the way to go, but have had enormous trouble bleeding the rear disk calipers using one. It seems to permanently draw air through, when I reverted to the good old fashioned manual pedal pumping it drew fluid without air in a matter of 2-3 pumps.(I am inclined to believe that it is drawing air in via the bleed nipple although the front calipers seem to bleed readily with the same type of nipples).

Any experience greatly received.
