Quick release drain valve - oil changes

Anyone use any version of these quick release drain valves for their oil changes?
Positive and negative comments?

I have a FRAM sure drain. No mess is nice, but it takes at least 3 times as long for the oil to finish draining.

No leak issues.

Really?
Wow, I would never have considered drain time.
Thanks for the input Tom!

No problem. I also never considered drain time until I went to use it for trial run. I was so used to just having oil gush out - and for that matter, I think that's how they showed it on their commercials - that I was really surprised at how slow it was.

But hey, what's the rush I guess. I just open her up and go get something to drink.
