I love mine. It reminds me when to clean it, when the drain is acting up, and when it’s done. It can even order supplies on its own. Sure all those things can be handled with a calendar but I’m lazy.

The drain issue might be hard to figure out on your own. Mine has a little notification light that comes on to run a self-clean cycle every x number of washes, but I’m pretty sure I’m the only one in my house who actually runs it.

I love my brain chip. It reminds me when to clean myself, when my bowels are acting up, and when I'm dead. It can even order products I don't need on its own. Sure all those things can be handled with my own brain but I'm lazy.

You use a calendar for reminders right?

So it has a mechanism to let you know when the drain is clogged?

Seems like it would be better to spend that engineering on making the drain work better.

Weird.
