Convertibles are WONDERFUL carpet cleaners ...
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... but their attachment suction is abominable! And to my recollection, they've always been that way. (Please understand, I'm not bashing 'em -- I love Convertibles a bunch -- but I'm just stating a fact.)</span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">What you might want to do, since you have the proper attachments for your Convertible, is go to eBay and look for either a nice Swingette or Portapower handheld canister to take the place of your GE. I've got a Swingette, myself, and it's got excellent suction for the furniture and upholstery. And the Convertible's tools will fit the Swingette/Portapower, so having spares available isn't going to be a problem for you.</span>
