Recommendations on a 24port 2.5 and 10Gbs switch for a home network?

I would like to swap out my aged 1Gbs managed switch with an unmanaged variety. (I used VLANs at the start but long ago decided they were more work than they were worth for even a relatively complex/busy home network)

currently trolling ebay.

Oh, also if you have recommendations for places to obtain such a beast with decent shipping to Canada, let me know!

@chris AliExpress is a good option. If you've not seen them, @servethehome has some good coverage of similar switches and there are very helpful threads in the forums. For example https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/horaco-2-5gbe-managed-switch-8-x-2-5gbe-1-10gb-sfp.41571/ and https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cheap-8-2-5gbit-managed-switches.41035/ (I know you said unmanaged but those threads can be gold mines of useful information).

Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

So is this a good 2.5GbE managed switch? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005943823096.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.202b38daB2QmL0&mp=1 . I know Patrick said he had some "issues" with the unmanaged version of this but I'm not entirely sure what does issues are. I'm upgrading my small (in a condo)...
