The humour is OK, factually it is far too pessimistic
We were agents for all the makers .at one time and yes, misuse will cause blockages but otherwise they are reliable and sensible.
The horror stories about unblocking them are exaggerated, our engineers used a wet and dry vac and normally sorted even the worst blockages inside half an hour with no mess including disinfecting the vac.
Properly installed the blockage can only be in the unit, not the pipework.
My previous home had a saniflo unit for a complete en-suite, power shower, basin and bidet,it never failed in 15 years even with a tenant sometimes, its a question of sensible use.
