. Who invented the vacuum cleaner?

Such as a lot of innovations over the years the creation of the vacuum cleaner can also be surrounded with great discussion concerning who came out with the very first vacuum cleaner. We have to go as far right back as the 1800's to test and understand what people had inside their houses and how they went about cleaning.

Firstly we are able to trace among the earliest and better known products back to 1860 when David Hess developed a method to solve a problem which housewives were having during the time. In days past rugs were used by people on the bare wooden floors to try and keep the dirt right down to the very least. Obviously all the dirt remained on the rug and the only way off was to hang the rug and whack it with a stick. Right after came the rug-beater, which resembled a tennis racket.

Nevertheless, it absolutely was only David Hess who thought there should be a simpler solution to do the rug cleaning and he came out with a Sweeper which had a revolving brush with a process which provided the suction. Is or was this a 'vacuum '? The device also consisted of two water chambers which collected the fine dust and particles. The sole problem with this technology is that there is no proof it absolutely was ever produced.

Then along came Melville Bissell, that's surname may sound familiar once you learn your floor cleaners, who also came up with a sweeper that picked up dust and placed it in a container behind the sweeper head.

But it wasn't until 1899, when what can be described as the first 'motorized' solution, was invented by John Thurman and it was another couple of years before Hubert Booth of London developed the first electric machine.

trailer outside the home and a very long line was run inside to complete the cleaning.

As time went by more and more creators had a spin at discovering the best solution and the one that could be found in the home without much publicity and was portable. Then along came James Spangler in 1908 with the very first portable suction cleaner. This cleaner turned out to be extremely popular and

For reasons uknown the patent was sold by him to William Hoover. Yes, the person who's name has become synonymous with house cleaning. The truth that the Hoover name stuck was a testament to common and how great early products were and now nearly 100 years later the vacuum cleaner may nevertheless be best

described a clunky, loud piece of hardware. While innovative designs such as the Dyson and another generation robotic Roomba are needs to give some idea to us of what we can expect of 21st century vacuums.

Whoever accounts for the creation of the vacuum cleaner, of which I believe there are many, could be proud to understand that the rules of their early time types still remain in vacuumcleaners in an incredible number of homes all over the world.CarpetFirst 78 York Street London W1H 1DP
