oil extractor recommendations

I am trying to decide which oil extractor to get, and could use some advice.
  • Should I get the pneumatic/manual, or just the manual? I have an air compressor and I am reading the pneumatic is quicker.
  • Should I get one that evacuates and dispenses? Reviews from people that have one that dispenses say it makes it easier, and less messy, to dispense the used oil in a container.
  • Is 6.5 L sufficient, or should I get something in the 8 - 10 L range?
  • Which brand and specific extractor do you recommend based on your experience?
Apologies if this is the 1,000th post on this topic. I read through enough threads to convince me the extractor is the way to go, but it still leaves me with the above questions.

I use this model for the engine oil and trans oil on my ST, as well as engine oil on my Mazda and Audi. I used to have a smaller extractor for my BMW but it is too small. You will extract 6L of engine oil so want an extractor that can do at least a little above that IMHO. Ive used the manual and pneumatic feature on this unit, and both work well. I keep it in the box it came with for storage but reinforce the bottom of the box with duct tape because of the oil.
