Pet Wirecutter, Midea and Frigidaire both have smart options that have full bucket notifications. Itās baffling that they donāt advertise that feature in their product listings, though.
Welp if they donāt advertise it Iām not going to buy it. I bought the ādumbā Frigidaire because the smart features they list are just turn on and off and fan speed. Why wouldnāt they list full bucket ffs. Oh well time to diy solution it.
