PIRA Darkroom Buddy... any thoughts?

[Derek Lofgreen]

I am looking at getting something to make developing my film a little less boring... I have always just used my Paterson tank for B&W, C41 and E6 but it's the standing around watching my timer and hand agitation gets really old fast.

I have seen the AGO processor. It looks fine. A little more than I want to spend for an agitator but it's an option. Then I found the Pira Darkroom Buddy. https://darkroomhelper.pira.mx/

It looks interesting. Temp control and a simple agitation solution. The price seems pretty reasonable too.

Anyone have one of these or know anything about it? Looks like it's an individual that developed and produces it on his own.

The trick with the magnets is nifty. I do expect that under adverse conditions, there will be problems with uneven development esp. on 120 roll film due to the agitation pattern.
