The first vacuum-cleaning device to be portable and marketed at the domestic market was built in 1905
by Walter Griffiths, a manufacturer in Birmingham, England.[14] His Griffith's Improved Vacuum
Apparatus for Removing Dust from Carpets resembled modern-day cleaners; - it was portable, easy to
store, and powered by "any one person (such as the ordinary domestic servant) ", who would have the
task of compressing a bellows-like contraption to suck up dust through a removable, flexible pipe, to
which a variety of shaped nozzles could be attached.
In 1906 James B. Kirby developed his first of many vacuums called the "Domestic Cyclone" It used water
for dirt separation. He held over 60 patents on everything from a wringerless washing machine to
ironing and dry cleaning equipment.

In 1907 department store janitor James Murray Spangler (1848-1915) of Canton, Ohio invented the first
portable electric vacuum cleaner,[10] obtaining a patent for the Electric Suction Sweeper on June 2,
1908. Crucially, in addition to suction from an electric fan that blew the dirt and dust into a soap box and
one of his wife's pillow cases, Spangler's design utilized a rotating brush to loosen debris. Unable to
produce the design himself due to lack of funding, he sold the patent in 1908 to local leather goods
manufacturer William Henry Hoover (1849-1932) , who had Spangler's machine redesigned with a steel
casing, casters, and attachments, founding the company that in 1922 was renamed the Hoover
Company. Their first vacuum was the 1908 Model O, which sold for $60. Subsequent innovations
included the beater bar in 1919 ("It beats as it sweeps as it cleans") , disposal filter bags in the 1920s,
and an upright vacuum cleaner in 1926.
In Continental Europe, the Fisker and Nielsen company in Denmark was the first to sell vacuum cleaners
in 1910. The design weighed just 17.5 kg and could be operated by a single person.
