No, but when he was president during the depression, he advocated a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" kind of policy and didn't offer much aid to the struggling people of America. Then, when people were living in dirty, primitive lean-to shelters, they called them Hoovervilles. So, I can see where you might have seen a connection, but the Hoover vacuum was invented by James Murray Spangler.

June 8 - Ives McGaffey patents the vacuum cleaner, a "sweeping machine" in 1869. This was the first patent for a device that cleaned rugs.

Oh yes, absolutely. And Abe Lincoln invented Lincoln Logs.
Per Wikipedia it was Ives W. McGaffey in 1869.

No! It was a different Hoover who started that company (which was not the first vacuum cleaner anyway).

He most certainly didn't invent the vacuum cleaner. He nicked the idea and put his name to it. Rather like some other current big names (e.g. Firestone).
