Then in 1868, Ives W. McGaffey came out with a new idea and improved Daniel Hess’s invention. He invented the first vacuum cleaner and it was called as the “Whirlwind”. The vacuum cleaner was invented in Chicago, Illinois. After he successfully invented the Whirlwind, he patented his invention as the first device that cleaned rugs in the world. The Whirlwind, which worked with a belt driven fan cranked by hand, was quite difficult to use because the operator had to manually turn the crank while pushing it across the floor. So the process of cleaning the dust on carpet or rugs was really tiring and annoying. Next, a gasoline powered vacuum cleaner was invented. This vacuum cleaner was slightly different from the others. It blows the dust from the carpet into a receptacle instead of sucking the dust into a bag or a container.

The service used the gasoline powered vacuum cleaner to clean the houses and charged $4 per …show more content…
He used a soapbox, an electric motor, a broom handle, and a pillow case as a rough design to make a vacuum cleaner. Then, James sold one of his devices to Susan Hoover, wife of a leather goods manufacturer. His husband was impressed with the invention and decide to invest in the manufacturing of the vacuum cleaners. He bought the rights from James and made him as a partner in Hoover’s Electric Suction Sweeper Company. After that, electric powered vacuum cleaner was manufactured and sold to people. Since then, the design of vacuum cleaner has been improved and varied to fullfill different task and situation. Recently, a new robotic vacuum was invented. The vacuum will automatically clean an area by using a rotating laser-based range-finder to scan and map its surrounding. The robot required to return to its base multiple times to recharge
