Definitely do not buy Shark products. They used to be good, but maintaining any of their stuff now feels like it was intentionally designed to rip you off.

I have their old vacuum cleaner that I’ve repaired five times and I’m never getting rid of it.

I gotta find me one of those. Mine was a gift from my mother and I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth in this economy. It's a bit of a pain, but I'm good with my hands and even better with pulling apart tech. It's a pain, but not impossible to clean.

Bonus is that you can buy third party roller replacements for a third of the price of the head unit. At least third party markets are still allowed for the time being.
