Starts American Carpet Cleaning Co. located in Boston mass

Ives W. McGaffey, Chicago, Ill., patent # 91,145 issued June 8, 1869, on a "sweeping machine." The machine contained a hand operated fan. It was manufactured by American Carpet Cleaning Co., Boston, under the trade name Whirlwind. The unit contained all elements of modern electric cleaners except the electric motor.

It was the first hand-pumped vacuum cleaner in the United States, a wood and canvas contraption. The "Whirlwind" is a modest success, but McGaffey abandons the idea to work on another invention: an electric-powered milk bucket that can read cows' minds.

Many agree that the first true vacuum cleaner was invented in 1868 by Ives McGaffey.The first vacuum by McGaffey sold for $25.00. Pushing the vacuum while manually turning the hand crank made the unit hard to use. Most of the original vacuums sold in Boston and Chicago by the American Carpet Cleaning Company. Unfortunately, only two original examples of the vacuum survive.

The Whirlwind was sold in Chicago and Boston, and it is likely that many were lost in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Only two are known to have survived, one of which can be found in the Hoover Historical Center.
