Default 1 man brake bleeding kits

i renewed all the brake pipes on my S1 recently and bought one of these easy bleed kits .
had loads of aggro of spongy pedal feel and couldnt seem to shift it .
anyway i went back to the traditional way of someone pumping the pedal and now there sweet as . so what im saying is save your money dont bother on the easy bleed do it traditional way with a m8 as the 1 man easy bleed seem pants
