Default Oil pan drain plug

I saw a Fram commercial for a new oil; pan drain plug that alll you do is hook up a short piece of hose to to drain your oil. Anyone used one of these? I first thought that a bad feature could be a piece of dirt/sludge in the pan could stick in the drain plug and you would loose all the oil eventually. If these things really work, it sure would make oil changes a lot easier, especially if you don't have ramps.

I saw it on TV also.
I feel its a waste of money.time. piece of mind,&:bs
You have to jack it up or something,even with the hose you arent able to reach under there & use the hose.
Its nothing new either.
