I like them ..... and think that £6 each is a very fair price. Very useful for keeping small plants hydrated if you are away from home for any reason.
I agree with others that there are similar pots available .... but I do like the contemporary look you've created. Just one question ... what is "arrogate" you refer to in your opening post?
Just to be clear - they're for indoor use only, aren't they? If you used them outdoors, they'd flood when it rained. With a conventional pot, in wet weather you simply take it out of its gozunder. Couldn't do that with this fancy one. So it would be no good for a half-hardy plant that goes out in spring and comes indoors for winter.

yes it is an indoor plant pot but it could be used outside. You would just have to keep an eye on the water level but it does have an overflow so it won't flood it might just be a little full for the plant but its easy enough to empty.
Not for me I'm afraid. Don't like the plastic and I use the dunk method to water pots that are small enough to fit in those pots and the finger test for pots that are too big to lift.

How does it work, specifically how are the roots prevented from being in the wet and rotting? Impressive if it works both for succulents and thirsty plants.

The way in which it works is you can adjust the water level as time goes on depending how deep the roots are if your plant is subjectable to root rot. ive found most herbs ive grow normally end up rooting into the water and don't suffer from root rot.
Normally when setting up the pot i put a good layer of small rocks in the bottom like most plant pots and it helps to let the water level increase and decrease without rot forming and your plant dying.
Currently I've been growing basil, sage, thyme, succulents and a plant i don't know what it is for about 6 months and they all seem to be fine. without any problems.
The unidentified plant I actually put it in one of our pots, because it was dying, but since I re-potted it its been thriving
