Yeah, I watched people on YouTube try to work on them. lol- it took a tech like an hour to get through enough roadblocks just to dislodge an object stuck in the rollers.
Totally removing/replacing a roller is something you could do on an average vacuum in 10 minutes.
They 100% want you to throw this vac in the trash when it has an issue.
On a positive note, after I watched them overhaul the front end I decided to totally clean out the nossel on my vac. The whole job took 20 minutes (disassemble, remove roller, clean roller, front and reassemble) vs an hour and a half on the Shark.

My refurbished Shark worked for 7 years... well, that's great. But now 'power' button failed. So I have tried to fix it.... and man, without breaking some plastic it wasn't possible. Everything inside is made that way so you can't fix it: wires too short, locks complicated. And that's just a button.

From what I heard, they use little plastic interlocking clips on the inside. They can break if you try to wedge them. It wouldn't stop me though. If I broke them, I'd use duct tape. If it was the button and had wires going to it, I'd swap it out for a quality switch, I'd do that even if I had to use my soldering iron to cut the plastic to mount the new different switch. If it was one of those switches that are mechanical, that's tougher.
But, I'd rather just buy a vacuum I don't have to kill myself to open or use my security bit set just to remove the screws. It's hard enough to get parts for a 7 year old vacuum (even Hoover), let alone Shark where they never provided any to start.
Even though I've watched a tear down of these Shark vacuums and I agree that their vortex and roller systems look crappy, getting 7 years out of the refurb isn't bad. As far as roller hair buildup, that's just part of things called occasional maintenance.
