I have the old Dyson pet version. It still sucks after almost 20 years, but it's a PITA to clean, it's heavy, and very difficult to maneuver. Just waiting for it to die, but it will probably outlive me.

I don't recommend it since they're mostly plastic and overpriced.

If you ever replace them it may be worth getting machine washable rugs. They're not bifl, but sometimes I think it's worth it to compromise on longevity in favor of cleanliness and low-cost/effort maintenance. A small, low/no pile machine washable rug is easier to find durably constructed without quick-to-fail rubber backings than larger area rugs are.

I have a thermos like this and keep it completely clean even tho I make coffee in it daily. The key is to scrub it every day. But I’ve cleaned my sisters after she let hers become far more stained than this. Just needs more scrubbing. If your hand doesn’t fit inside, shove a rough-scrubber sponge or even steel wool down in there with the handle of a scrub brush. Will take some work but it will come completely off if you’re persistent.
