When was the vacuum invented?
By definition, "a vacuum cleaner (also called a vacuum or hoover or a sweeper) is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors."The first attempts to provide a mechanical solution to floor cleaning were begun in England in 1599. Before vacuum cleaners, rugs were hung over a wall or line and hit repeatedly with a carpet beater to pound out as much dirt as possible.On June 8, 1869, Chicago inventor, Ives McGaffey patented a "sweeping machine". This was the first patent for a device that cleaned rugs, however, it was not a motorized vacuum cleaner. McGaffey called his machine the Whirlwind and it was the first hand-pumped vacuum cleaner in the United States, a wood and canvas contraption.John Thurman - Door to Door ServiceJohn Thurman started a horse-drawn vacuum system with door to door service in St Louis. His vacuuming services were priced at $4 per visit in 1903. He invented his gasoline-powered vacuum cleaner in 1899 and some historians consider it the first motorized vacuum cleaner. Thurman's machine was patented on October 3, 1899 (patent #634,042). Hubert Cecil BoothBritish engineer, Hubert Cecil Booth patented a motorized vacuum cleaner on August 30, 1901. Booth's machine took the form of a large, horse-drawn, petrol-driven unit, which was parked outside the building to be cleaned with long hoses being fed through the windows. Booth first demonstrated his vacuuming device in a restaurant that same year and successfully sucked dirt. More Americans inventors introduced variations of the same cleaning-by-suction type contraptions. For example, Corinne Dufour invented a device that sucked dust into a wet sponge; and, David Kenney designed a huge machine that was installed in a cellar and connected to a network of pipes leading to each room of a house.Of course, these early versions of vacuum cleaners were bulky, noisy, smelly, and unsuccessful.Handheld Units - James SpanglerIn 1907, James Spangler, a janitor in a Canton, Ohio department store, deduced that the carpet sweeper he was using was the source of his chronic coughing. Spangler tinkered with an old fan motor and attached it to a soap box stapled to a broom handle. Using a pillow case as a dust collector, Spangler invented a new portable and electric vacuum cleaner. He then improved his basic model the first to use both a cloth filter bag and cleaning attachments, and received a patent in 1908.Hoover Vacuum CleanersJames Spangler soon formed the Electric Suction Sweeper Company. One of his first buyers was his cousin, whose husband, William Hoover became the founder and president of the Hoover Company, a vacuum cleaner manufacturer. James Spangler sold his patent rights to, and continue to design for, William Hoover. William Hoover financed additional improvements to Spangler's vacuum cleaner. The Hoover design resembled a bagpipe attached to a cake box, but it worked. William Hoover's company produced the first commercial bag-on-a-stick upright vacuum cleaner. Initial sluggish sales were given a kick by Hoover's innovative 10 day, free home trial, and eventually there was a Hoover vacuum cleaner in nearly every home. By 1919, Hoover cleaners were widely manufactured complete with the "beater bar" to establish the time honoured slogan "It beats as it sweeps as it cleans".Filter BagsThe Air-way Sanitizor Company which began in Toledo, Ohio in 1920, introduced a new product, the "filter fiber" disposable bag - an important cleaning "first".
Who invented the Vaccum?
Ives McGaffey
When was the vacuum cleaner invented?
Daniel Hess invented a machine with a bellows for suction and a rotating brush in 1860, but it was largely impractical. A hand-pumped vacuum cleaner invented by Ives McGaffey appeared and was patented in 1869. In 1901, Cecil Booth, a British engineer, invented a large contraption built on a wagon that was set up outside buildings and had hoses running through windows to service multiple rooms. Booth had seen a machine originated by an American, and this was a springboard to his device. The Chapman and Skinner machine from San Francisco (1905) worked, but at nearly 100 pounds, did not sell. James M. Spangler's idea was purchased by William Henry Hoover, who built and marketed a unit with a bag attached to a long handle beginning in 1907. As is so often the case with inventions, a "standard" device doesn't appear out of the blue. Rather, a good working design is developed from different ideas that appeared over time before a breakthrough of sorts incorporates those older designs and a bit of new thinking.

What is the history behind vacuum machines?
The vacuum cleaner was invented in 1860 by Daniel Hess. It was later improved by inventors such as Ives W. McGaffey and Melville Bissell. These units were often bulky and difficult to move. In 1921 the Electrolux Company manufactured the first vacuum that was modeled to lie on the floor and be moved via wheels. This became the standard, and is still used in vacuum cleaners today.
In what year was vacuum Vacuums establised?
The vacuum was invented in 1860 by Daniel Hess of Iowa. His system was a hand pump vacuum made with bellows to help suck up dirt. In 1868, Ives McGaffey invented a manual powered vacuum.
