That looks very similar to the one I use and I find it works extremely well for my situation.
My summer driver has minimal road clearance and I just can't climb under at all. Jacking and supporting 4 corners takes quite a while and my filter is top front, not underneath.
Sludge doesn't seem to be a problem, I change oil more often than recommended (it's so easy now) and when I check the oil after a few days, it still looks pristine, which tells me there's not a ton of old gunk to mix with the new oil.
If your situation is similar to mine, get one and maybe alternate if you're not sure. Pump once, drain next.
