The History of Convenience
The history of the upright vacuum cleaner is actually a lot more fascinating than it may seem. The whole vacuuming process that takes place inside of an upright vacuum cleanere involves a changing in air pressure caused by a pump that is reducing the air pressure inside a tube. The surrounding atmospheric pressure then pushes air through the carpet into the tube, sucking up all the dirt and debris with it. This is the central idea behind the technology that is used in all vacuums, including upright vacuum cleaners. The very first machine to utilize this technology was the Whirlwind, back in 1868 by Ives W. McGaffney. This invention helped revolutionize cleaning potential all over the world.
Commercial upright vacuum cleaners have gone through all sorts of changes since 1868. When vacuum cleaners were first introduced, they were extremely expensive, with most costly a third of the price of a car. As the technology became more cost effective to make and more companies entered the market, vacuum cleaners became a staple of every middleclass home. Door to door salesmen and their convincing demonstrations to housewives everywhere helped facilitate the growing popularity of vacuum cleaners until now you won’t find a home without one.
Upright vacuum cleaners have a cleaning head and a bag, or now a plastic refuse container, that catches all the dirt sucked from a surface. There are many kinds of attachments that make cleaning difficult surfaces or hard to reach spots extremely easy. The suction action is redirected to the attachment and can offer the same power as moving the unit across the floor.
