I had the same overheating and auto shutoff after a few months. I kept cleaning the outside vent and it still cut out halfway through drying my long hair. What I learned was that surface dust was not the problem. What fixed it was restoring airflow and changing how I used it. I unplugged it, twisted off the back cap, pulled the inner mesh and a felt layer I had ignored, washed and fully dried them, then vacuumed the intake and gently brushed lint off the front grill and the little sensor near the coil. I cut away hair that had wrapped around the rear intake. I stopped using the narrow nozzle for most of the drying and only snap it on for finishing. I run high fan with medium heat instead of high heat on low fan, and I make sure my hand or sleeve does not cover the intake. I also stopped using an extension cord and went straight into the wall so the motor spins fast. Since doing that it runs the full ten minutes without tripping, and if it starts to feel too hot I tap the cool shot for a few seconds to keep the thermostat from kicking out.

As a dad who's lugged strollers up and down apartment stairs in the that model for two kids now,, congrats on the new addition and it's an adventure which & yeah suggest thinking about how the fold mechanism works in tight spaces, like can you do it one-handed without a fuss, and it should be light enough to not strain you on those subway hauls... Safety-wise, strong brakes and a five-point harness are non-negotiable for busy areas, and something with a bit of cushion for the rides over cracked sidewalks keeps the that model happy. My budget was similar, and I found focusing on user reviews about real-that model use helped narrow it down, avoiding the ones that tip easily or feel flimsy.

Oh man, as the guy who's fixed a thousand forgotten passwords, let me tell you, password managers are your savior until they aren't - hack one and boom, your life's an open book. But seriously, pick something like 1Password, make your master phrase something ridiculous you'll never forget, like a movie quote mixed with your dog's name. Seen folks tattoo passcodes, but that's extreme and visible to thieves. Auto-fill features save sanity, though they glitch on weird sites. Humor aside, enable biometrics if your device supports it. Just backup regularly or you'll cry when your hard drive fails.
