Hoover Vacuum Cleaners Review

By Bobby Grecu


Hoover vacuum cleaners are manufactured by Hoover, an American company founded in 1907.

Of all vacuum manufacturing companies, Hoover's story must be the most interesting one. In 1907, Murray Spangler (a janitor who was suffering from asthma) created a new invention to help keep the dust away when he was sweeping. This invention consisted of a tin box, a pillow a fan and a broom handle and it was called the "suction sweeper".

Murray immediately saw a the opportunity and one year later he partnered up with W.H. "Boss" Hoover, a leather goods manufacturing shop. The small shop soon become popular, due to the quality of their products and a smart marketing plan: the Hoover vacuums were being sold through small retails stores that were allowed to keep any commission they made.

Hoover vacuum cleaners characteristics

Hoover is one of the leading brands today in the vacuum cleaning industry because they invented many features that are found in any standard vacuum today.

* The "beater bar" was first seen in Hoover vacuum cleaners. This feature combines suction with a metal bar. The bar "beats" the carpet and scatters the dust which is than absorbed. This technology allows the vacuum to remove more dust than any other vacuums.
* The disposable bags were also invented by Hoover along with the front headlight, side-mounted house and self-propelling vacuum.

What Hoover vacuum cleaner to buy?

Hoover manufactures an extensive line of vacuum types, including uprights, canisters, hard floor cleaners, handled sticks, wet/dry, central vacuum and others.

The most popular Hoover vacuums are the uprights due to their unique "bagless wind tunnel" feature. This allows the vacuum to create the suction very close to the ground and trap any dust before it can escape back into the air. Uprights are light and very easy to maneuver, and are perfect for quick and efficient jobs.

Canister Hoover vacuums are also very sought after. They not only have the same "bagless wind tunnel" technology, but their suction power is actually better than that of an upright. Their nozzle is another plus, became it allows you to clean areas that are hard to reach.

Hoover steams do an excellent job removing any stains on your carpet. They're also good for vacuuming any pet hairs, giving you carpet the cleaning it deserves. If you carpet is really in trouble, instead of renting an expensive commercial steamer you may want to take in consideration a Hoover carpet cleaner. It comes with a SpinScrub brush that provides a very deep down cleaning.
