No kidding! I thought GE still made them.

They bought GE appliances a few years ago and since then it has been
down hill.

off
vertical. The same for a small electric screwdriver.

The company must have been taken over by some Wall Street group to
suck the

I wouldn't touch any of their stuff, sorry to say.

I quit buying their stuff long ago.
