Spec sheet shows it to be Made in Taiwan so I suspect that it is being made for them by someone else. Does anyone know who makes this?

According to the repair parts diagram, I see a "bladder" listed. I wonder if this serves as a diaphragm to prevent air from contacting the fluid. If so, this unit might be worth its price.

Don't know who makes that one for SO.....But I've used several & own a old Ammco one that I rebuilt with a new bladder & regulator. I'm sure copies have been made of the design as I worked at a shop that had a fairly new Branick one that's almost a carbon copy of a Ammco.

Don't use mine that much, Maybe once/twice a year on problem cars like late model Impala's.
 
I don't think there is a lot of value for the money there unless you use it an awful lot. I use one from Motive 2qt Euro unit (0109) with a late model GM and Air VW adapter that does a good job, the 2qt is just right for a full flush out. It doesn't get a lot of use.
The Phoenix systems reverse bleeder gets a lot more use especially on clutches.
