Vacuum of the day

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

I have that machine. It’s wonderful. It uses the swivel top’s motor.

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 good team. They went to my brother after they passed in 1977.

John,

My neighbor used one all the time.  She also had the upright, etc. 


She was very fond of the G E line.

I missed the VoTD photo but based on Dysonman's photo I can surmise what it was.

I have the same one but mine I would presume is the "basic" model. Rear mount tool caddy. I paid just $10 for this one, it looks brand new aside from a torn emblem and missing its floor wands.

Here are some shots from the front, the sides, the disposable bag, and the cord on the winder. It’s a wonderful machine. It was a gift from Alex B about 13 years ago when I opened the vacuum cleaner museum.
