I saw a few of these as well growing up in South Fla. My mother had a GE at one point and my relatives in NC owned a few of these ( Premier Brand ) with and without the PN.

Future talking points about the Premier brand.... I’m still looking for anyone to corroborate the existence of a single motor, clean-air upright from the mid 1970’s. It was sold under the Premier brand name. I remember that it was carried by Zayre’s department stores. | ||

I remember my grandmother saying the first vacuum she ever had was a GE round canister. She still had the attachments to it in a bin and they looked like the ones with yours. She might still have them.
Nice vacuum though. I've noticed some vacuums of that kind have that steel logo on them. I've seen it on Sunbeams too. | ||

That's like brand spankin' new. Very EXCELLENT !
I wonder how a electric power hose for the power nozzle was handled on that as I would think the pig tail on the machine end would get tangled round and round. | ||

@ Paul : Thx Paul...no I would not consider GE or the Premier as being my top brand or first preference - I'm a die-hard Electrolux guy! However I like other brands too and the GE / Premier vacuum happened to be another vacuum of choice for my mom and other family members back in the mid 70s. Its good to mix it up and drive different machines from time to time. This machine was manufactured and sold by the Premier Electric CO back in 1978.

Not to get this thread off topic, but Paul since you speak about the model numbers do you know the answer to this:
I collect GE fans and I have noticed that some of them have a 4 digit number on them that is termed as a P.S. No. Looking on eBay I have seen the same kind of numbers on other GE appliances, not sure on vacuums. But do you know if this is a date code? I collect GE electronics also and they did use indeed a 4 digit date code, and these P.S. numbers look as if they could decode the same way. With electronics it is first number day of week, second number is the year and last two digits are week of the year. Nobody I've asked seems to know and I've tried Google to no avail. I'd like to know though, it's so strange because only a few have the number on the sticker. Some GE small appliances did use a date code of three digits first the year and last two the week, or maybe it was the opposite, don't remember. Maybe the P.S. number was an earlier format? | ||

Keither
Your floor in the pic is vacuumed. Yet this vacuum looks NIB. I'm guessing you keep nice vacuums to the side and the #1 stunna vacuums are on display.
I like early premiers and hope to get one. I'm not a huge swivel top fan but this is newer and improved. I like the silver inlay then the yellow close to the color of my c9 compact. It's a vacuum I'd envision someone rich in early 70's with shag carpet but not too thick. It comes across as a high end vacuum I like it. Great taste and display. Les | ||

@ Les : Hey Les :-) Your right on point my friend. I dont use my minty machines routinely - I have a few daily drivers that I use for the routine stuff-This machine as attractive as it is would be more like a step down unit for low maintenance cleaning of area rugs or flat bare surfaces. Thanks for the kind words Les. Take care and will chat w you soon.

@ Gary - Thanks for the kind compliments :-) As for as collecting vacs I've been pretty fortunate- I take care of my machines and Im kinda picky too so that has helped :-) But If I had a time machine , I would set the dial for sayyyy...1973 and then again for 1982 :-) Ha :-) Have a great day Gary :-)

@ Tom : Thanks buds ;-) Like the turquoise machines display there in the pic :-)
@ Gary : No prob at all :-) My haunt was Woolworth and Goodrich Tires to name a few . Goodrich sold Eurekas and other appliances - There appeared to be a legion of Eureka Power-teams lined up perfectly on display there in the store! | ||
