For me, the messiest part of an oil change is dealing with the filter, and the extractor doesn't help you there. Draining the oil into a pan doesn't seem that big a deal to me, especially since you might need a pan anyway to catch the oil from the filter (depending on the vehicle and its filter configuration).
