Has anyone used air-pots or smart-pots?

Well have you?

I would like to know some advantages & disadvantages before I try them out.

Look at the air pots website, anything they say theres a good chance a normal pot doesn't do it.

Cone shape/pattern helps guide roots into air pockets/holes which then air prune the roots causing the rest of the root to increase growth instead of it circling around doing nothing good like in a normal pot. You are supposed to get a way better root system with air pots, and they are easy to transplant because you can simply unwrap the pot unlike with normals where you have to slide the plant out.

The cheapest place I know of for ordering air pots online for those in the US is growers-inc.com

I know about the website and the concept of how it works, but I was trying to get first hand experience from people who have actually used them. Typically, companies' websites will spew their marketing and be all about the advantages and not state their disadvantages.

Ok disadvantages can include needing to water more often, water pouring out some of the holes (if you water too aggressively/impatiently), dirt and such falling out the bottom and out the holes (not a lot), they can be tougher to clean than normal pots (so I just use a showerhead thing or a yard hose)
