Eheim Sludge Extractor – Do I need to Take out Water?

I've been using a manual pump siphon for three years. I'm currently suffering from a back injury which doesn't allow me to lift buckets anymore... so I've been looking for alternative solutions to clean the tank effectively without buckets. I've looked into the Python, and Aqueon siphons connected to faucet, however I also saw Eheim's Sludge Extractor which works like a battery operated vacuum. If one cleans the glunk from the gravel and adds fresh water, and uses a good , is it necessary to still take out water for cleaning?

Thanks in advance.
