It does look a bit coated with dust so I could try to tap it a lot but don’t want sacrifice a paintbrush. I’m not sure if it’s too delicate to rinse.
Perhaps I might be able to find an equivalent or close enough spare part

Yes a dry brush to that 3rd pic of the filter will do a lot.

Thanks! Dry brushed that and the sponge disc, removed all hair from the sweepers - then I found a hidden clog that I hadn’t seen or been able to reach. It was wayyy up there (Morty). The opening was also pretty small.
I sent a drain snake brush through because it was a narrow rigid hooked bend too long for a pipe cleaner - then realised it was detachable. Doh!
It’s still kind of just ok and was never really that strong. Probably either a stick thing, cordless, or Kmart.
But it’s useful to know about the bottleneck. It doesn’t tend to handle even tiny torn pieces of cardboard from Melbcat’s scratching piece, so that will be the first thing I check in future.
