The first recorded actual vacuum cleaners were "street sweepers" in the mid 1800's in England. later in the 19th century, a horse-drawn vacuum cart was invented. It was similar to a central vacuum, wherein there was a large central vacuum with a long hose in which a variety of attachments could be attached. These first vacuums generally had 3" diameter 50' hoses, more than twice the diameter and 10x the length of the average vacuum cleaner hose today. They could weigh anywhere from 300-600 lbs. There was also a small company in 1905 called Chapman and Skinner that invented what they called a "movable electric vacuum", but it was 92 pounds.
