I have a motive bleeder but haven't used it. I heard the hose can burst and some people use it without any brake fluid in case of hose failure.

What is the normal/safe pressure do you recommend?

Two years of pretty much every day use and no issues with hoses burst or break. It’s it’s a solid bleeder and I wouldn’t worry about it. I bet those issues people are having are mostly user error more than anything. Keep the pressure at 20psi. Between each caliper bled, give just give few pumps to bring it back again to 20psi as the pressure will bleed off.
