Total job takes less than 20 minutes.

you're 100% correct on the points you've made. what i expect to be the main advantage (for me) is having the oil extracted into a container vs pouring from a catch pan into a container.
the extractor could end up in the cabinet reserved for "good ideas - bad reality" items. but i won't tell you if it does end up there because i'm overly sensitive to being wrong.
