Just as an FYI - The GE name was used on their vacuums in Canada till 1985 when it became Black and Decker. In the 80's the swivel top machines were still available as well as rebranded Regina style machines. From the mid 70's on catalogues here had at least 2 or 3 different GE models with power heads. I dont recall ever seeing a Premier machine in Canada that was newer than the 1950's so they must have discontinued using the name here around that time.
An example is the model VC751A from the mid 1970's below Doug

GE + Eureka + Sweden's Electrolux
Just an odd note to add to this thread:
At some point about 10 years ago, Walmart started selling GE branded vacuum cleaners that were also being sold as Eurekas in other stores. These were made by Sweden's Electrolux for the North American market. The canisters featured a Eureka power nozzle and electrified hose with gas pump handle. At the time, Consumer Reports actually rated it very well - it may have even been rated as a Best Buy because the price was pretty low. There was also an Electrolux-made GE clean-air upright being sold at Walmart at the time as well. Here's a clip of the canister: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||
