Ge Had one of the last swivel tops in my parents home. It was on close out for $24.00 with a trade in. I went with my mom to buy it. She traded in our old ge upright from 1948. I believe it was 1972, when ge sold out to premier. The swivel top was teamed with a Hoover 1020 convertible. It was a...

Has anyone ever used that ge canister featured today? Looks like a nice machine. I wonder how it compares to a swivel top.

Kirby That was my first new vacuum. I didn’t like the cloth bag set up so I had it converted to the f&g setup. Big mistake, , never worked right after. Wish I would have kept the old bag. The repair guy probably cleaned it up and resold it.

What was the advantage of the box top style bag?

2013 convention Hard to believe it’s been 9 years. I’m in photo 62 with an old ge upright. I had a really good time, learned a lot and met some very nice folks. Sadly, I wasn’t doing so great in my personal life. Things are much better now. I’m a grandpa to 2 beautiful girls, retired, and In...

I’ve had my sanitare for about a month now, and I’m loving it. It brought my 3 year old heavy carpet back to life. I did switch out the cord, the 50 foot cord was just too heavy. I bought a 40 , lighter extension cord And switched it out. I use the 50 on my leaf blower now. It is so much...

Converter Thanks so much. I’m a bit concerned that airflow will not create good hose suction. Those old f & g eurekas did not work so well with tools. I don’t know if I should risk it since I have a good canister.

Converter There is a 60f commercial eureka tool set on eBay 60.00 it’s a 12 inch pan converter . Do you think this will fit my new sanitare?

Sanitare Yes, I’m referring to the pan converter. My old church had sanitare and I think there was a set of deluxe tools with it. I see the 60a sets on eBay. The motor has so much air flow I wonder if it’s worth buying a hose.

Sanitare I posted an update regarding my new sanitare, but no one seems to have seen it. So, here goes. I cleaned my high traffic area and it got almost all the dirt out. It vibrated the ground in dirt that my Hoover wind tunnel has left behind for the last 3 years. It is much easier to...

I used my new sanitare today.. I made the right choice. Beautiful, simple, old style like from my childhood. It shook dirt out of my 3 year old heavy carpet. Easier to maneuver then my old power drive wind tunnel. With tax it was 267.00 online, less then some of the plastic vacs. Cord is a bit...

I received my new sanitare this week. I used it today. It’s replacing an old Hoover wind tunnel power drive. It was my third wt. I can’t believe the difference! I have an area in my living room that always looks dirty. The new machine has the vibra groomer and it shook all that old grit out of...

Will an old F and g converter fit on my new sanitare?

I did a lot of research and found that a sanitare upright is what I need for my thick carpet. It’s a sc888 with disposable bags. I read mostly great reviews, But a few bad ones. I don’t need a hose as I have an old filter queen that will outlive me.it arrives Monday. Did I make the right choice?
