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 | ||

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.

GE Swivel Top colour
Ooops! Wow was I wrong. My swivel top IS brown not green. I am colour blind in reds/greens and depending on the light conditions I sometimes see dark green as brown, brown as black, etc. (I have to sort my clothes by colour in the drawers and closet). I took the GE out last night for another pic, and put it in the bright light and couldn't believe that it was brown. I had another swivel top before this one. It was green though with chrome and had green tools. And instead of having the round chrome push button switch it had a chrome foot pedal in the front below the exhaust port. The only reason I got rid of it and bought the brown one was that it was in better condition. Danemodsandy, you are right about the mobility of the swivel top. Mine only has 3 wheels and isn't the easiest to move about, especially on carpeting. I just like the looks of the machine, the swivel top connection, tool carrier and cord winder. The suction isn't too bad and I'm sure would be better if I replaced the woven hose with a rubber like one. The chrome wands seem larger in diameter also than other North American makes. I remember my mom's best friend had a similiar swivel top and I've wanted one ever since. Gary | ||

the attraction of the GE swivel top for me is purely nostalgic. as a functional vacuum cleaner, I can't stand them. all the faults you point out Sandy, plus they're noisy and messy to change. (gee, sounds like a baby doesn't it, hahaha!). | ||

I Agree
The green and chrome machine has nothing but nostalgic value to me since my mom bought one. The one she got had a chrome handle with the cord winder and a vinyl wire-reinforced hose. The one I have has a braided green hose. I can shoot more pictures if you are interested. The machine was not that great for all the reasons already stated - messy to empty, easily tipped, no floor brush, poorly designed rug nozzle, etc, etc. It was, however, a great improvement over the Kenmore Commander it replaced. I remember as a kid sitting at the bottom of the stairs with the new machine on a Saturday night in absolute awe. The awe wore off when I replaced the hose and attachments with a set from Hoover. I was quite precocious and since Mom really didn't care about vacuuming, never noticed.

OK Gary
Here they are. I usually don't photograph machines that haven't been given the once over cleaning, but didn't realize this machine needed a cleaning until I shot the photos. I think I got this one from Chad S. If I did - thanks!! Chad I know that at one point you expressed regret about parting with it. If you want it back, let's talk. Fred

Was called Premiere. I am not sure what...
the actual history and ownership was though." Well, Compactelectra, GE had bought out the Premier Company (the one that made the Premier Duplex, but by the time of the buyout, Premier was in sad shape. I forgot when it happened (early 50s?) The Premier actually stayed around a long time. I can;t figure out why - basically, GE was competing with itself, tho' toward the end of their production of vacuums, GE stopped making their own version of the Premier-like machines. Appliance manfr's are a strange breed. | ||
