Bobby, that Sharp canister vacuum is a nice find! How do you like it's performance with the bag-saver dirt cup?
Samsung & Wertheim are the only 2 other makers I know of that offer this feature on their vacuums. Samsung has it on a straight-suction canister that's very similar in appearance to your Sharp, & I believe they also sell it separately as an accessory. Back in the early 2000's, Bissell had Samsung make their Bissell Butler Revolution with this same bag-saver, although their version had slightly different styling from it's Samsung counterpart. Wertheim offers it as an optional accesory for purchase with one of their full-size canisters that is a re-badged Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary with a different wand & powerhead. The Wertheim bag-saver differs from the others, though, as it has direct connections to work with the hose & wand. The bag-saver is also available for purchase from vac shops as a generic part, to be used with any canister vacuum, & includes adapters to work with 1 1/4" wands & 1 3/8" European standard wands. Davinator1977 here on Vacuumland has a YouTube video he made which he uses the bag-saver to demonstrate 2 powerheads. There is also a 8-pound upright that has this bag-saver mounted on it's tube....can't remember the name off the top of my head right now, but I thought it was a bit odd to see it used that way. Rob |

Another thing I forgot to mention that bothers me is that I can't find a way to get into the exhaust filter to change or clean it... Underside of the nozzle... |

If you could take some pics of your Sharp upright & make a new thread, that would be awesome!! I have always felt that the Sharp & Sanyo copies of the Panasonic upright were just as good, even if not slightly better. I have a Sharp Twin Energy upright myself, & it's amazing how good a cleaner it is.
