Yep, I agree. I have one and it's quick bottling beer. Like milking a cow

Regular.
But isn't it basically the same technique as putting the hose right in the bottom of the bottle?
Aye, but it's got a handy valve at the bottom of the stick so is a lot less fiddly than messing about with a tap.
Far less opportunity for air to get mixed into the beer than filling it via a jug and funnel. Generally after the first one that works any little bubbles out of the system it fills completely silently for me - to the point that with thicker bottles I'm left wondering if there's anything going in at all!

Haha, same here. I slightly push the bottle onto the valve letting the first cm of the bottle fill then open fully. Not one bubble or splash and I need a light behind the bottle to see it fill because it's silent and fast.

No because you can release downward pressure and the wort stops flowing instantly, makes it less messy and quicker in my view.
