Daniel Hess, in the 1860s, created what is considered the first real vacuum cleaner, which operated by drawing dust through the machine using air. Ives McGaffey’s design in 1869 aimed to further improve the concept, but it proved to be more cumbersome than traditional brooms.
The significant breakthrough in vacuum cleaner technology came from James Murray Spangler, a janitor in Canton, Ohio. In 1907, after much effort and sacrifice, he patented an innovative design that was both upright and portable, featuring a ceiling fan motor, paddle blades for airflow, a leather belt, and a motor-driven rotating brush. This machine effectively sucked up dirt and expelled it into an attached pillowcase.
Spangler’s invention laid the groundwork for the modern vacuum cleaner. However, facing financial difficulties, he sold his company to his cousin, Susan Hoover, marking the birth of the renowned Hoover brand.
This fascinating journey from brooms to modern vacuum cleaners like the Roomba® exemplifies the relentless pace of change and innovation. It’s a testament to human creativity and the constant pursuit of making life easier through technology.
