The Hoover Company was one of the early manufacturers of vacuum cleaners. They are still sold today and are considered a very high end machine. I've got one that I've owned for 25 years and my parents have one that is older. The front of the machine has the company name on it in large letters and it was natural to refer to it as the hoover. Hoovering became commonly used instead of vacuuming. It has since become a generic term much the way Kleenex and Xerox are often used instead of tissue and photocopy.
