Self watering pots

Hi, I here everyone on this site uses smart pots, fabric pots and everything else. I never read one post about someone using self watering pots. Seems to me that would solve the overwatering problem. If anyone has used them, tell me what you think.

lots of people using SIPs (sub-irrigated planters) and the people at build-a-soil seem pretty crazy about em i have seen enough impressive grows in them that i have been getting the itch to try them aswell BAS has em for a lil over 30 and home depot/lowes has em a couple dollars cheaper

Autopots in coco/perlite best system I've ever used hands down

Float valve in saucer of pot, gravity fed, no pumps/timers/air stone/Sprayer nozzle bullshit with regular hydro. Not to mention, no run off, no wasted nutrients, just keep topping up the res

There is a circulating pump and air stone in the reservoir however to keep the nutrient solution mixed, you could probably get away without it but I only top up my res once a week. So very low maintenance.
