I think our Sharp Twin Energy (Don't know the model yet) was alot worse than that. At our old cabin one time, someone went to using the vacuum, and it either blew or fried it up. We tried to get it fixed at our old vacuum store but there was no way that he could fix it. As far as I was told, the motor housing was melted on the inside that it wouldn't ever come apart. It wasn't really the vacuum's fault, it was one of the contractors that failed to wire in one of the plug outlets correctly, and we've only owned it for about a year before we later got a Panasonic.
Overall that Sharp you have is a really nice machine, I've used one of those before and I thought it was a great vacuum. I think not as good as a Panasonic or even better a Tacony. If the parts were still available to get, I would've fixed it for sure. | ||

I have two lower end models, and though they run good, both run hot. No smell or anything to think something is wrong, but lots of heat. One runs better than the other (think the fan is unbalanced on one so it's rather noisy, even though I've taken it out and cleaned every speck of dust out) but they will run for hours with no issues. The housings of mine are fine, and not distorted at all, but then again, I never let them run clogged or with a full bag. Maybe just a bad batch of plastic or not enough ventilation.

A loss no less, but not as severe as going bankrupt 4 times on real estate and casino ventures, stressing the economy by making others lose money, and needing to be rescued by the tax infrastructure. | ||

I actually liked the hose lever design that Sharp used on some of their uprights, they even still used it until Sharp went out of the vacuum business. The reason why I liked it was because there was more suction and airflow traveling through just the nozzle hose on the carpets and into the bag than traveling through with the wand and extra length of the stretch hose like you would see on other competitive models.
However, the Tandem Air uprights actually still use this similar type of design today. The problem I've seen with this type of design on both Sharps and Tandem Air models is that consumers sometimes would occasionally forget that the lever would still be left in the tool setting when they go to clean the carpets or floors without using the hose. Overtime the vacuum will overheat and it could either damage the machine (like the Sharp in the first post) or shut down to prevent damage from happening. I've seen this happen alot at my current vacuum store on the older Simplicity Synchrony and Synergy models that would come in and get fixed. | ||
