GE Brochure

[compactelectra]

Thanks Mike Rogers. This brochure contains two machines that I had my mom buy back in the sixties. I have the MV1 that I bought later and the carpet sweeper that is really one of the only things that I have left from my mom. The cover.

I would love to have one of these. Also the portable cleaner which I had her buy. Thanks everyone for sending me bags!

My folks bought one of these round GE canisters but an earlier one with the attachment caddy on the back and the cordwinder.

Great pictures Fred! I don't believe you had the GE electric carpet sweeper the last time I was there. I bet that is really fun to use. I always wanted my mom to get one but never talked her into it.LOL

The carpet sweepers sweet. I wanted one as well back in its day. IIRC the ones here were green

Incredible brochure!

The green and white "roll about" canister is very much like the one I nearly got into hot water over when I snuck into my friend's house to see their new G.E. That one was a more deluxe model, though, as it was chrome and green instead of white and green, and had an automatic cord winder.

My heart STILL pounds a little when I think about just how much trouble I could have gotten into over that bit of mischief!!

GE Swivel Top

I have the chrome and green version of the swivel top with the tool caddy and cord winder. The tools and hose are white and the hose has the suction regulator with marks indicating the positions for rugs/floor, upholstery, dusting. Although the rug nozzle works OK I could never understand why they made it so wide since the air intake and 2 brushes only occupy half the space.

That's the one! I'd love to see photos of it!
