Question, please! I am unable to pull the filter out of the bin. It’s stuck. Any suggestions?

This little filter barely does it's job. even after installing a brand new one, it'll be huffing and puffing dust everywhere it goes. My old Eufy 35C did a much better job than this much more expensive Roomba.
