It has “Electrolux” printed on the wheel.. I forgot GE bought Electrolux and they make Frigidaire, AEG and Zanussi brand. It’s getting confusing with TTI and Tacony owning most of the brand names of Vacuums! Lol

Do you know if this awesome GE Roll Easy going to be available in the USA? It looks like a UK style or other words a fantastic stylish vacuum we Won’t get in the USA!

The color scheme and style kinda remind me of the Kobold Vorwerk. I SO want a Vorwerk and wish they’d sell USA versions of their Vacuums.

I didn't pay much attention to the actual name on the machine.

It just reminded me of the GE Roll Easy vacuum. "Imagine that outdated design making a comeback." As so many here would say it has to have a complete redesign.

I'm not a canister/tank type vacuum user myself. Therefore I won't be rushing out to purchase one.

P.S. Hope it has a hepa filter. If not it will be a totally unusable dust belcher that will kill anyone that uses it.

It looks like this is just a conceptual design by Electrolux’s industrial designers. Probably never made it to market.

Closest thing to an old GE Roll Around is the new Hoover bagless Air canister. I think one of the Japanese vacuum makers also sold a rolling big wheel canister. If I can find it, I’ll post a link here.

Actually, this indeed was sold in Japan. Sweden’s Electrolux signed an agreement with Japan’s Toshiba at one point to design and develop vacuums for the Japanese market. One result was the Toshiba Escargot portable bagless vacuum. It actually looks like a larger version of the Black and Decker Flex mini vacuum.

See the link below - and just google Toshiba Escargot Vacuum:
