Well this is a continue from my thred in contemprary but I felt this machine deserved to be in the vintage forum. This is a nice Premier that I found on the curb. I did have to put a new cord on it also but everything else is great! I was suprised to see that it is a plastic base. I took the whole motor apart and everything was still nice and clean. The vacuum didn't see that much use. I would say that the bag is a replacment?? It could use a replacing again as the bottom is getting worn right arond the collar but I won't change it. It still has an empty vintage blue kenmore style 20-5002 bottom fill bag. Any info on this would be great if nothing else the year.

All the G.E./ Premier uprights used steel fans,they were much better than the aluminum fans of Hoover and Eureka,and made a noticeably different sound. |

The G.E. version of this was similar except it had a aluminum housing and the fan chamber was lined with steel,they are just about indestructable. |

Well, if that's true how come there are none of them left lol? By comparison, G.E. canisters seem a dime a dozen. I'd love to have a G.E. upright (or a Premier) from that era. |

well I have noticed a funny noise in the brush roll. I think it might need replaceing. It works but has a rattle that I don't like. I haev to admit, i'm not in love with this machine but I do like looking at it and it makes a great machine to add to my G-E models. It is super cheap compared to the older ones. So would you say that's a replacment bag?

Just as a guess would think the bag is a gen vac shop replacement-no logo of any sort on the bag.Anything printed on the back of the bag-what type of inner paper bag does it use? |
