We did the 3 day method for both of our kids. We created a zone in the kitchen and spent a weekend supervising. They got it eventually.
We think it's effective, but you have to be dedicated.

Our daycare did a lot of potty training for us by getting him to start peeing after lunch on the potty. He was peeing on the potty at daycare no problem, but not at home, for the longest time.
Eventually we bought those toilet training underwears. They worked really well. Never had to do the 3 day thing.
He now has no problem with peeing and holding it. He hasn't had an accident yet, fingers crossed.
Poo on the other hand, that's been really hard. He's poo'd his pants so many times i can't count lol. But finally we think we turned a corner, the last 2 times he's told him mom he needs to poo and then runs to the potty. He starts preschool in Sept and he needs to have this nailed down by then. The pressure is on.

Right after what we thought was successful potty training, we had mistakenly assumed that it would be OK for our kid to just sleep in his regular undies. I don't exactly remember what happened specifically, but over those next few days (or maybe a week or two), there were still 2 or 3 evenings when he had accidentally peed during his sleep. After the few overnight accidents, we figured we didn't want to take the risks of keep having to watch a wetted bedsheets + pee-proof liner, so only when our kid was going to bed for the night, we would put him back into a diaper. Over time, there were still some overnight accidents, but eventually that happened less and less, and he started complaining that the diaper was not comfortable, so we stopped using the overnight diaper.
And just to be clear, during this time when our kid was still sleeping overnight with a diaper, he is as potty trained as a kid can be during the day. There were still accidents here and there, but overall, it was not a concern during the hours when he was awake.

We bought our Bissell from Canadian Tire for $100. It goes on sale often and works well enough for spot cleaning. Just don't try to clean your house with it.

Just a small update: It didn't take literally 3 days, but we kept going strong and to my surprise, we're seeing some significant progress. My In-laws have been watching my son during work hours and I bought the same potty for them too, trying to keep everything as consistent as possible.
My kid has been going to the potty on his own to pee. Sometimes he's a ninja and we don't even realize it until we notice there's pee in there. Poo is still a work in progress... but shit, if anyone asked me if this was possible a week ago, I would have said no way, based on the first 2-3 days of hell.
He's still roaming around butt naked though, so I'm not sure when would be a good time to introduce pull ups. I'm not sure if he actually knows how to hold his pee yet if he has to take off clothing. And he doesn't know how to take off and put back on clothing yet.

And he doesn't know how to take off and put back on clothing yet. | For me and my wife at the time, our kid was kind of doing what your son was. That is to say, when he needed to pee during those 3 training days, we were basically just asking him to tell us he needs to pee, and then we'd go to the potty together with him. I don't remember the details now, but I'm pretty sure we were the ones helping him take off his pants and stuff.
Obviously you're aiming for a further goal where your son will need to be able to take care of himself for the whole process -- take of pants, pee, put pants back on, etc. -- since you're really aiming to have him go to daycare. But for now, I would be satisfied with the small victory of him going to pee on his own, pants or no pants.

The technique you linked skipped over the main thing that imo made it a lot easier with our kids. Don't just let them run around and hope they notice themselves when they need to go, give them lots of watered down juice and take them to the potty on a timer through the day and have them try for a few minutes. I think we were doing something like every half hour. Doing that there were only a couple accidents through the weekend.

^ That works if your kid can be coerced into doing things. We are potty training our daughter right now and she doesn't take well to being told to go. It's been fun and a completely different challenge from the first one.
