So far it seems that I'm the only one here who has actually used one unless I misread a post above. My experience with it is limited to our 25' boat, so not a big boat.

Over several years it has NEVER drug. Make fun of it all you want..... but I'll say it again, we have NEVER moved or had to reset it. We cove out a lot, and all day usually. I love watching people anchor and enjoy seeing what ground tackle they use, their scope, etc. It's interesting, and pretty entertaining. I've never noticed anyone dragging and then watched them pull up a box anchor.

I'll add one more thought. I'm an old boater, I guess. I've been on boats pretty much since birth. It was hard to look at the box anchor and take it seriously, so I was biased against it. I was simply wrong. I've never had a better anchor for a small boat (say around 30' or less).
