I used the OG Lisle one for a few years when it came out. No expiriance with the knock offs.

Looked back through my Amazon history to check and see I bought the 'EPAUTO Spill Proof Radiator Coolant Filling Funnel Kit' back in 2017 for the same $23 they are asking for it now. Mine's orange though, not clear like the one they sell now. I'd rather have clear I suppose but still I've been happy with it, but don't have any experience with any of the others to compare.
It fits all of our vehicles (Toyota, Mazda/Ford, and Chevy). I've used it quite a few times now with zero complaints. I originally bought it hoping it would help me burp the air that gets trapped in the Mazda, as letting idle with coolant filled higher can definitely help that happen on most cars, but not on this vehicle and it traps air at the temp sending unit sending codes and making everything wonky so I wound up having to also buy a vacuum purge/pressure test kit to fix it. That said, the funnel is very convenient. Being able to overfill and let it run till it settles down then use the stopper to pull out the still-filled funnel without spilling saves time and mess plus we've got ground crawling critters around here I'm kind of fond of and don't want lapping up any of that sweet coolant I'd otherwise be spilling.

Thanks guys, I was able to research that Lisle has a few kits and their latest one is the 24780. From what I can tell its the most complete with latest adapters.
I think the way it goes is as follows
24680 is the original set
24970 added colours and more adapters
24780 added few more adapters etc which I think best we can find currently.
I like the idea of sealed funnel to keep things cleaner.
