I highly doubt Sharp would ever want to return and bring back their old designs, no matter how much I think it'd be awesome to see that happening. Unfortunately, the vacuum world has changed so much since Sharp existed out of the market. Consumers want something with so many upgraded features that'd make it harder for Sharp to continue selling the same designs. Like lifetime belts, HEPA filtration, electronic indicator lights, etc. Basically things that Riccar and Simplicity addressed for example on the R20UP/S20UP. The hall sensor feature I thought was a game changer. I also really liked the easy to change bags. And the hose is so much easier to get. If I could have any metal bypass upright to use as a daily driver, it'd be one of these two.

You might want to look into the Cirrus CR99 when the time comes to replace your Sharp. That's a TOL model with features your sharp has such as a double fan motor, variable speed controller, check bag indicator, switch on the handle, but with a ton of upgraded stuff. It's made by the same company who makes that Prolux. I have one of those and it's one of the best designs next to the Tacony models. I'd buy one again if I were to pass on the better vacuums like Sebo you've mentioned.

I love my Sebos, the X Series in my humble opinion I think is overall the best single motor upright I've ever used if you don't count the servo motor. I'd totally buy one over any metal bypass upright including both the Riccar R20UP and the Simplicity S20UP, they're basically the second most perfect upright vacuum for me. The Lindhaus HealthCare Pro being the first. Speaking of which, my Sebo X1 I have which is technically branded as a Kenmore uses a cord that's made by the same Taiwan company who also made cords for Sharp. My Kenmore may not vacuum as well as my Sharps but it still has many advantages over any Sharp and that's why I'd buy it over a Sharp.

ProTeam never made their uprights in Boise, just only headquartered there for a time but now they're in St. Louis with the rest of the Emerson company. They used to be made by Aerus Electrolux in the USA until they sold the patents to ProTeam and started making them overseas. That being said, they're definitely good vacuums. I think they're even better once ProTeam took over. But they're not my first pick for a dual motor commercial upright. Like the Perfect and the other Electrolux copies, the bags are small, the on-board hoses can be prone to clogging real easily, there's no height adjuster, and you need a screw driver to get into the belt. The Windsor Versamatic is almost in every way better, their newest model is awesome. I also really like the Lindhaus RX, similar to the Versamatic.

My bad I thought they did production here 🤷 Hopefully the Twin Energy lasts awhile longer as I'm not ready to commit to something brand new at this moment. It should, I take pretty good care of it | ||

Definitely will pass on the Prolux The 8000 commercial model only has a 30 foot cord, and it looks like the belts have been out of stock for quite some time now 😕 | ||

Clarification
What I meant was is there isn't a way to adjust the height on whatever setting I'd like for it at. I don't personally care about vacuums with free floating heads except for Sebo. Electrolux or anything similar to it is no different. The problems I have with them is on thicker pile carpeting they're rather harder to push, and they snowplow bigger debris. That's one of the reasons why I don't prefer to use them. This video is one example that proves my point.
