It wasn’t until the early 20th century that a proper electric vacuum cleaner appeared. In 1901, British inventor Hubert Cecil Booth designed a device that used a motor to create powerful suction. A quantum leap forward for home cleaning!
Little by little, the vacuum cleaner entered homes, became smaller, more efficient, and became the essential companion we know today. From sled models to stick vacuums, including robots that clean on their own, it has evolved to adapt to our lifestyles.
A vintage object that tells our daily life
So yes, this strange metal shell does have a story. It bears witness to a time when technology was taking its first steps into our homes, when every invention represented a promise of comfort, and when cleaning was sometimes a daily physical challenge .
And the next time you hear your vacuum cleaner whirring in a corner, think of those cleaning pioneers who had to pump, turn, and crank… just to pick up a little dust!
Which proves that even the most ordinary objects sometimes hide extraordinary stories.
