I see F4 are selling a Seago vacuum extractor for £29. Has anyone any experience of this brand?

I had one very similar. It worked fine. My only complaint is the amount of space it took up. It's capacity was 6 litres and my engine only held 1.75 litres so a 2 litre pump, had I been able to find one, would have saved some space.
If there were to be a next time, which there won't be, I would buy a little 12v pump and discharge the old oil into one of many old containers you find lying around the waste oil tank in the boat yard.

I've got one, a 6 litre sphere shaped one. Does the job ok as far as I'm concerned. The oil does need to be warmed up though.

I saw some 2 litre ones on ebay or amazon today when I was looking for a bit of kit to pump oil into a Honda outboard gearbox.

They are available now but when I bought my extractor pump many years ago, 6 litres was the smallest I could find.

Update.
I gave my brass pump another try, I must have been doing something wrong last time I tried. It pumped the 3.5 ltrsof oil out in less than 5 minutes this time.

The 6 ltr Spherical are usually the small Pela ... I use one for literally anything to get out .. last bit of water in bilge .. oil .... gunge out of fuel tanks ... etc.
I now also have a Lidl electric pump .. its ok - but the Pela is better ...
Tip : After time - the spring metal pipe - the outer plastic cover fails in places .... what to do ? You can buy a new pipe I suppose ...
or
Heat shrink tube ... slide onto pipe after trimming smooth the failed area plastic .. cover the failed area and then shrink tight. Bingo - no leaks .

I was surprised at how well this little brass pump worked. Had to wear a glove because it got pretty hot.
If it didn't work I was getting the Pela rip off from F4

Advantage is that all is self contained to get waste oil back home
