Yeah and a vacuum bleeder makes a HUGE difference. Also to supplement that, SPEED BLEEDERS are the ****. They speed up the process if you know how to use them.
I add a little Teflon in the threads and put a hose on them into a 1L bottle.
I used to use a mityvac till I tried it with this method-

That works! I like the vac for clearing the lines out too. Changing the fluid in the master etc. for a simple bleed I use a similar method but the speed bleeders have build in check balls.

Reverse bleeding is also a cool trick. Pushes fluid-and air- from the bleeders upward to master cylinder. I want to get the tool and try it one of these days.
