That's too bad to hear about your Mityvac. I have the same unit, and it has worked great over the one year that I've owned it.
One of my coworkers liked it so much after borrowing it from me he bought his own, and he has nothing but good stuff to say about it as well. He also got the brake bleeder attachment, but I have a pressure bleeder so I didn't bother with it.
I've used mine for a whole bunch of jobs, from sucking oil, power steering fluid, coolant and it has worked great.
