Maybe should be in the tech section but when I am by myself and need to bleed brakes I take a Coke (or Diet Dr Pepper) bottle and pour about an inch of brake fluid in it. Then take a piece of vacuum hose about two feet long and push one end on the bleeder and stick the other end in the bottle. Then crack open the bleeder and make sure the master cylinder is full. Then slowly pump the brakes to push the air out. The beauty is you can keep pouring the fluid from the Coke bottle back in the MC till you're sure you have all the air out.
Even if it sucks back it only sucks brake fluid. Since I am usually alone this is how I bleed brakes most of the time.
