The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Hoover began in 1908 in North Canton, Ohio. James Murray Spangler invented the first electric vacuum. He sold the patent to his cousin's husband, William Hoover. The company built upright vacuums for household cleaning. In the 1920s, Hoover vacuums became the standard. The brand name entered common speech as the verb itself. Today Hoover operates globally, selling floor care appliances. They rank twelfth among home and kitchen brands. The company appears across 6,649 tracked brands worldwide. Hoover remains known for vacuum cleaners and floor maintenance.
