Seems to work as well as original and a reasonable price.
It's a replacement part - difficult to clean is part of the design o no fault of the part. Seems to work as well as original and a reasonable price.

See this lovefest, bask in good music in various styles, and feel good about the human race again.
Though not hired as a record producer, Arif Mardin managed to wheedle his way into producing the first album by newcomers the Rascals (known then as the Young Rascals), and made their first #1 hit Good Lovin’. From there he produced artists as diverse as Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Bette Midler, Carly Simon, Dusty Springfield, Dr John, Hall and Oates, Phil Collins, Norah Jones, Chaka Kahn, Jewel, the Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand, and the Average White Band. Along the way he made over 50 gold and platinum albums, was nominated for 15 Grammy Awards and won 12.
However his work as a producer is not what makes this documentary special – it’s the man himself. Nearing the end of his life, he decided to record one last album – All My Friends Are Here – consisting of songs written by or about Mardin in various styles and sung by many of the stars he produced. The Greatest Ears in Town, for instance, is a song written and sung by Bette Midler in a hipster jazz style, and is a tribute to Mardin.
Arif’s son Joe decided to film the recording sessions, and during filming we get to see Arif’s production style, the way he brings out the best in his artists, and watch them make glowing testimonials to Arif’s influence on them – all interwoven with archival snippets of his life and achievements. Arif comes across as a warm, intelligent, caring man who appears to have no enemies.

Warm, thought-provoking.
What is family? This film shows what appears to be a poor 3-generation family eking out a living of sorts in the seedier part of Tokyo. That they resort to shoplifting and other less-than-legal means to get by does not diminish the obvious love and concern they have for each other, and even for strangers in their midst. Over time we come to realize all is not as it seems, they get arrested and a media circus begins to portray them in lurid tabloid terms. This film won the highest award at Cannes the year it was released, and I can see why. It upends our notions of what a caring family should be, and questions the morality of a system that casts the unconventional in black-and-white terms.
