The motion sensor on public toilets is fine... and yes, that little backup button is also critical. Getting rid of the button would be beyond stupid... this is because sometimes the motion sensor malfunctions.

As for the stuff at home I am content with the 100% mechanical flush mechanism that I have. Sure it means I need to clean the handle every once in a while, but that is no great inconvenience.

Yeah, not sure how often those commercial ones go out. I know the chain, or the bobber or some other plastic pieces will often break in the tank, but not to often. I notice they have more issues with those newer ones that have partial and full flushes, as if you are supposed to use half a flush if you urinate. Went through 3 of those cannister systems in a couple years.

I never had that part break. The worst thing that happened is that the chain sometimes gets tangled and I need to open the water tank to untangle it. But it rarely happens and is kinda not a big deal.
