General Electric Swivel Top, twin fan, with Twin-Clean rug nozzle. This machine was given to me a couple of days ago. Like my friend, Hans Craig, always says "these GE's are one hell of a good vacuum". Great airflow and suction power. This is an early 1960's version. The Vacuum Cleaner Museum is constantly being given vintage cleaners by our patrons. Many times, the examples they give us are in pristine condition. This particular machine looks like the only attachment that was used was the dusting brush.

Model C-13
With all attachments, complete with attachment carrier and original hose. This machine has seen VERY little use over the years.

Just curious: did the Swivel-Tops have any problems with maneuverability? I guess the same question could be asked of the similar Eureka Roto-Matics on wheels. Both had hoses connected at the top, and both had relatively small wheels at the bottom. Seems like the design could result in tip-overs...no?

Makes sense that the Singer had the same tippy tendency - Eureka made their canisters in the 60's and there was a Singer version of the Rotomatic called the Rollamagic. Later versions of the Eureka-made "barrel" vac were wider at the base like Gary's Super Rotomatic and so may not have been as prone to tip as earlier versions.
