who invented vacuum cleaner?

Answer 1

The first powered cleaner employing a vacuum was patented by H. Cecil Booth, a British engineer, in 1901. He noticed a device used in trains that blew dust off the chairs, and thought it would be much more useful to have one that sucked dust. He tested the idea by laying a handkerchief on the seat of a dinner chair, putting his mouth to it and sucking hard. Upon seeing the dust and dirt collected on the underside of the handkerchief he realised the idea could work. Booth worked to create a device operating on such principles, and patented such a machine in Britain: the large device, known as the Puffing Billy, was drawn by horses and parked outside the building to be cleaned; suction was then provided by an internal-combustion engine burning petrol (gasoline). Booth never achieved great success with his invention

Answer 2

"Revolutionary idea of sucking in dust was realized by Cecil Booth, a British engineer. One day, he watched a electrical cleaner invented by an American inventor. Later he [Cecil Booth] invented a vacuum cleaner called 'Booth's vacuum cleaning pump' in 1901. This was a huge machine; a coach wagon equipped with a pump"

"The Hoover Company of New Berlin, Ohio (now North Canton) built the first electric vacuum cleaner that used both a cloth filter bag and cleaning attachments starting in the year 1908. It was invented by James Spangler of Canton, Ohio the previous year."
