My mower and pressure washer have drain plugs near the (vertical) 
shafts.  It's kind of a pain in the ass to access on the pressure washer 
but it's still less messy than flipping the whole thing upside-down like 
the user manual recommends.

      What do y'all use to suck oil out of small engines?  I've got one
      of these, but it never worked worth a damn and the tubing got
      brittle and cracked pretty quickly:<br>

      The problem with it is no matter how fast I pumped there would
      never be sufficient vacuum in the canister to move the oil up and
      out of a sump.  I've got several small displacement engines that
      need their oil changed regularly--one is a gravel compactor that
      weighs over 200lbs--and trying to tip the engine enough to drain
      the oil is a real hassle (and messy).  Anyone know of something
      that works (I see HF has something similar, but the reviews are
      mixed and it seems to have the same issues as the 'Topsider').<br>
