Who invented the first vacuum cleaner (hoover)

Ives McGaffey, 1869..
He got the idea during an argument with his wife, when she said, "Ives, your life sucks."

    I would hazard a guess at Hoover, but not J Edgar – he was too busy cleaning up America.
    Actually it seems to have been Daniel Hess who filed a patent in 1860
