For more than 100 years, the Hoover brand has been one of the European market leaders in the production of home appliances (washing machines, microwaves, refrigerators), but the company’s flagship has always been and remains - a vacuum cleaner!
The history of the company began back in 1908 and is closely connected with the name of Murray Spangler, a doorman from Canton, Ohio. The asthma that tormented him made him think about solving this problem. A soap dish, a fan, a pillowcase and a broom handle - these are the first components of an invention that will soon conquer the whole world. But Murray did not have the money to promote the invention, and his patent was soon bought by William H. Hoover, a manufacturer and seller of leather goods. Intuition and entrepreneurial talent did not deceive Hoover. So, in 1908, the Hoover company was founded.
Hoover had ambitious plans; he wanted to sell vacuum cleaners throughout the country. He publishes an ad in the Saturday Evening Post, inviting everyone to try the vacuum cleaner completely free for ten days. Readers had to report their desire to participate in the promotion not to the company’s head office, but to a reputable store in each city.
Thanks to this innovative strategy, a wide range of customers was soon formed, and a powerful network of reputable, reputable stores was created that promoted his products. The company developed so rapidly that in the next 3-5 years trade contracts were established with Canada, Britain and Scotland.
In 1932, production was opened in Perivale (West London). Thanks to its rapid growth, Hoover has achieved a presence in markets on four continents in just a few years.
In 1926, as a result of years of research, the company introduced significant technological improvements to its carpet cleaner. It was a dust removal system that consisted of a metal rod that gently knocked out the carpet, a brush that swept away dust and dirt, and a dust collection bag. “Knocking out, sweeping, sweeping cleans!” - read the famous advertising phrase of those years. And this system, with all its numerous modifications and improvements, still forms the basis of high-tech Hoover vacuum cleaners. Further improvements followed in 1936 when Hoover patented the suction tube cleaner, which has become an integral part of modern vacuum cleaners.
By the late 1930s, Hoover was a leading manufacturer of floor care products. But times have changed. Second World War led to economic instability, and production was reoriented towards military needs. With the outbreak of the war, the production of vacuum cleaners was interrupted. The machinery now performed other tasks. Plastic parts presses were used to make helmets, and sewing machines were used to make parachutes. This significant material contribution of the company to the war effort received high recognition and numerous awards from the American and British governments.
In the subsequent post-war years, the company returned to its historical business and continued to increase production until the 1980s, when a reorganization of the company's production, structure and management was undertaken. By 1995, having undergone a long period of changes in ownership, Hoover European Appliance was purchased by the Candy Group, which has since represented the brand in Europe, North Africa and several countries in the Middle East.
Since 1998, Candy Hoover Group has been represented in Russia.
Of course, a lot has changed today, and more than one team of engineers and designers is working on creating new models of Hoover vacuum cleaners, creating beautiful, fashionable and most importantly functional products. But the history of the formation and development of the company's founder, William H. Hoover, his bold ideas and entrepreneurial talent, still inspire followers to create new innovative products. Thus, the famous conceptual design bureau, Momo Design, has been working on the design of Hoover vacuum cleaners for many years. Their arsenal includes the production of luxury goods mainly for the automotive (racing) sector. The result of such “non-standard” cooperation is bright and technologically advanced models.
The Hoover company dates back to 1908, when the company's founder, W. Hoover, released the first vacuum cleaner in the United States. For this, Hoover was ranked among those giants of technical thought whose ideas changed the world, among them: H. Ford, F. Porsche, M. Edison and others. English language even added a new verb “to hoover” (to vacuum).
Who and where invented the first vacuum cleaner?
The idea of creating a dust suction device originated with Murray Spangler, who lives in Canton, a small town in Ohio. He suffered from asthma and really wanted to relieve his condition. To remove dust, he put together simple things: a soap dish, a silk pillowcase, a fan and a broom holder, which became the prototype of the first vacuum cleaner. Murray did not have sufficient funds to further develop this idea, so he sold it to a woman he knew, Susan Hoover.
She was a visionary and enterprising woman. Having tested a primitive vacuum cleaner at home, Susan was convinced that it significantly reduced the time and effort for cleaning, while the dust did not move, but disappeared into the bag. Susan shared these observations with her husband, William H. Hoover, who manufactured and sold leather goods at Carton's store. He immediately appreciated the potential capabilities of this invention, so he urgently purchased Spangler’s patent and simply began making the world’s first vacuum cleaners in the corner of the store. With the help of 6 hired workers, he produced only 6 units of equipment daily.
Vacuum cleaners quickly took their place in the everyday life of people in the United States, and Hoover began its activities outside the country. The first trade contacts were established with Canada in 1911, and in 1919 its products entered the British market. Hoover proved himself not only to be an excellent salesman, but also an enterprising person. He hires a team of designers and engineers to improve the technical condition and design of the vacuum cleaner. Since 1908, the company began its rapid development, its triumphal march across countries and continents.
Already in 1926, a carpet brush entered the market. A few years later, the production of vacuum cleaners began to be carried out on four continents, and the Perival plant was opened in London. In 1936, Hoover patented a vacuum cleaner with a suction tube, which is still an essential part of a vacuum cleaner. With the help of the company's specialists and designers, the first washing machines were produced in 1948 at a factory in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales). In just a couple of months, the Hoover brand becomes a recognized leader in the UK consumer market, and it remains in this position to this day.
Establishment of the Hoover brand in the world
A flight of engineering thought made it possible to create the first semi-automatic washing machine in 1948. Until the 80s During the last century, Hoover expanded, production was reorganized, and control and management improved. The Perival site was sold and vacuum cleaner production began in Cambusland. Since 1985, a long period began, characterized by a change of owners - the company's shares were first purchased by the Chicago Pacific Corp. Corporation, in 1989 the Maytag Corporation became the owner. In 1993, the Hoover Trading Company and Hoover UK merged to form the Hoover European Appliances Group. Since 1995, the Candy Group took possession of the trademark; it bought out the Hoover European Appliance Group along with the rights to use the brand in all countries of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Advantages of the Hoover brand
The company does not rest on its laurels and continues its course towards the development and further implementation of the latest achievements in the field of production household appliances. Each new model immediately becomes popular, because each new design development is based on studying the needs of consumers directly at home. The study of statistical data contributes to the emergence of new ideas, which are then materialized into more modern models of vacuum cleaners and other household appliances.
The Hoover brand is today part of the Candy group, as are other brands: Rosieres, Candy, Zerowatt, Otsein, Kelvinator, Iberna and Gias. The Gias company, being a division of the Candy Corporation, provides after-sales service for all equipment produced by the Candy Corporation. Household appliances of this group are sold in more than 100 countries, have about 16 thousand sales points, and 2/3 of the corporation’s total turnover comes from exports.

We were about to buy a vacuum cleaner, and the store consultant recommended vacuum cleaners from the Hoover Xarion line. What kind of animal is this? Is anyone already using this?
According to the descriptions on the Internet and the seller’s stories, the vacuum cleaner seems to be good, powerful with various useful technologies. But I would like to hear feedback from people who have already used vacuum cleaners from the Hoover line before buying.
The company is actually well-known abroad, only in Russia these vacuum cleaners are not yet on sale, but while on vacation in Germany I saw such vacuum cleaners, and my friends ordered a Hoover Xarion vacuum cleaner, then I could not follow their example and regretted it when I listened to the reviews. This is latest technology- the vacuum cleaner does not have a dust bag, this is the main advantage. Agree, the main indicator of the quality of a vacuum cleaner is its cleaning efficiency, and Hoover provides it. I would also like to buy such a vacuum cleaner, but for now I can only envy my friends. Alex, do you know the date of appearance of these vacuum cleaners in Russia?
And these are all his advantages about the lack of a bag? Lord, I had a Bissell vacuum cleaner for 14 years and there was no trace of a bag in it. And now the new Bissel no longer has a cloth filter, it is a water filter :))). It seemed to me that the advantages of a vacuum cleaner lie in other things, well, in power, in ease of use, in lightness, in versatility, well, maybe in economy... although the bag is probably not economical.
Well, it’s not just about the bag, of course. The power is also high, in general, the vacuum cleaner works well, I don’t regret buying it. It already exists in Russia. Convenient, not heavy vacuum cleaner, cleans the carpet well, I'm satisfied. And of course, much better than a washing vacuum cleaner, which I would not recommend. It's my opinion.
laskana, yes, based on the descriptions and reviews I found, I got a good impression of Hoover. The only thing that is holding me back from buying this vacuum cleaner is that I can’t find it on sale yet. My brother called from Chelyabinsk, he says that they already have it on sale, I’m even thinking about asking him to buy it for me, he’s going to visit in August anyway. This is what we will most likely do, because... The vacuum cleaner deserves such minor inconveniences.
I've heard about the Hoover Xarion. I saw it in action, I was a little surprised, it was so small, and the power was not that of a child. I was on vacation with my brother in Rostov, and they bought it recently. He turned it on and showed how it “sucks in” and calmly lifts 3 kg boards from the floor... He ordered one for our house too, we’re waiting...
Alexander, I don’t know, dust didn’t rise anywhere. The filter in Hoover is good, in my opinion, the purpose of the Hepa filter is to return purified air back into the atmosphere, significantly improving the environmental situation in the surrounding world. Well, when I vacuum, the air becomes fresh and there is no dust. I have so.
Hoover Xarion was given to friends for their birthday; they brought it from abroad when we didn’t have them in Russia! Despite its small size, the power is very high, it even lifts kitchen stools... It cleans the air very well and has antibacterial cleaning, which is very good for small children!
They have several models and, in principle, they all cope with their tasks perfectly.

Some dubious merits. I'm afraid that after several cleanings the parquet will have to be re-done))). I’m developing an idea: what if a cat suddenly runs past? Will he suck the guts out of him? Mamaaaa! Killer vacuum cleaner!
In my opinion, Hoover is the opposite of Kirby :))) He just has very little power and doesn’t do any miracles with lifting stools. He has a different task - to fight saprophytes, mind you, not dust, but saprophytes and skin debris. And the hoover is probably good for stripping withered helmets from old frames, stripping bark from logs and killing rats and mice, they are probably sucked up from the basement after 5 floors :)))).
And I bought myself a new Bissell Green Wedge of American-made cars, I’m happy again :)))
Larsi, I’m wondering, did you use Hoover, if you say so? Just about my own personal experience They didn’t write it, but here’s some negativity. Of course, it’s up to you, don’t think that I’m insisting on something here. I just don’t understand, we have a Hoover and I can’t say anything like that about this vacuum cleaner, the power is okay, the filters are okay, and overall, it’s a good vacuum cleaner, in my opinion, to put it simply.
Don’t swear, Kater, it actually reminds me of a traffic accident)))
Everyone chooses according to their needs, felt-tip pens vary in taste and color!
Some people need more power to remove tons of dust from their corners at an unimaginable speed, while others need protection from microargonisms and allergies!
In this case, I fall under type 2, I have severe allergies, which is why they gave me Hoover. After cleaning, I feel lighter and the air is cleaner... The vacuum cleaners that came before couldn’t cope, they just cleaned the carpets and removed the dust!
About power: there are many vacuum cleaners that have several times more power, here we compared the power in relation to its compactness!
By the way, does anyone know where it is? service center? If it breaks (God forbid), where will it be sent abroad or will it be made in the Russian Federation?
Now I am the owner of a Hoover tav 1620. My reviews: the suction power is quite high, I don’t know about the fact that it pulls rats out of the basement, but it collects all the short dog hair, inside and out. It cleans thick, high-pile carpets well; manual cleaning is no longer required. I can say that I did a great job collecting all the construction dust after changing the windows in the apartment. It also easily collects all small debris such as crumbs and threads from hard-to-reach places. The brush is maneuverable and rotates easily when operated with one hand. Alexey, I don’t know why or what is blowing out of your vacuum cleaner, but I didn’t notice anything like that. The dust collects and settles in the garbage container, and does not fly out in the opposite direction. The vacuum cleaner itself cleans well too. I take out the container and throw all the garbage out onto the street, well, my wife also washes it out, of course I don’t bother myself with this. That's all. I would like to hear reviews about a more expensive model from the same series, Hoover Tav 1635, what is the date of treatment with silver ions in action?
I bought a Hoover vacuum cleaner 2 years ago. I bought it expensively for 8 thousand. After 3 months the power dropped. After cleaning one room, the dust container had to be cleaned. And it took a lot of time and effort to clean 4 rooms. It came with disposable bags. IT WORKED WELL AND POWERFULLY WITH THEM. But our stores do not sell spare bags for Hoover. I had to select from others and glue something on. HEMOROIDS. I spat and bought a simple Samsung, but there are bags in any store, for any model, and the Hera filter is also available.

Brand HOOVER.
Hoover vacuum cleaners are known all over the world. The beginning of the great success story dates back to 1908, when in the USA W. Hoover founded the company of the same name, which produced the world's first vacuum cleaner. Modern historians rightfully place the name of the founder of the Hoover company among the people whose inventions and products turned the world upside down and opened modern pages of world history: G. Ford, M. Edison, F. Porsche and others.
Murray Spangler worked as a doorman in Canton, a small town in Ohio. Murray suffered from asthma and wanted to find a solution to this problem. He took a soap dish, a fan, a silk pillowcase and a broom handle and put it all together. This is how the first vacuum cleaner appeared. Murray was astute enough to recognize the potential of the new product and decided to sell it. Unfortunately he did not have enough funds to develop his idea, he decided to find out what others thought about his new unusual broom and he showed it to his friend - Susan Hoover; an action that changed his life. Susan was a curious and forward-thinking woman. She tested the vacuum cleaner in her home for several days and was convinced that the results were excellent, the time and effort was reduced by half and the dust not only moved, but disappeared. Susan told her husband, William H. Hoover, about this. “Boss” Hoover, as he would soon be known, manufactured and sold leather goods from his store in Carton. Noting his wife's enthusiasm, Hoover quickly realized the market potential for the new invention. He buys Spangler's patent and begins making vacuum cleaners in the corner of his store. He hires 6 workers and starts producing 6 units per day. Thus, the Hoover Company was founded in 1908.
Having achieved success at home, Hoover now looked beyond the country's borders. In 1911, he established the first trade contacts with Canada; in 1919 he entered the British market, Hoover proved that he was not only an excellent trader and salesman, but also a true entrepreneur. He realized that in order to ensure sales he had to invest in a new product. He hired a team of specialists to create a technical and design development plan.
The first carpet brush was created in 1926.
In 1932 the Perivale plant, in West London, was built. The high growth rate has led to Hoover's presence on four continents in just a few short years.
In 1936, Hoover patented a vacuum cleaner with a suction tube - now found on all modern vacuum cleaners.
In 1946 Hoover began production at a new factory in Cambuslang (Scotland).
In 1948 a washing machine factory opened in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales) and Hoover soon became the market leader in the UK and remains a significant brand today.
In 1948, the first semi-automatic washing machine was created. Hoover continued to expand into the 1980s when they reorganized their production, control and management. The Perivale plant was sold and vacuum cleaner production moved to Cambusland.
In 1985, a long period of changes in ownership began: Chicago Pacific Corp. Acquired Hoover's international assets. In 1989, Maytag Corporation (the second largest manufacturer of home appliances in the United States) purchased Chicago Pacific and, by extension, Hoover. In 1993 the Hoover Trading Company and Hoover UK merged to form the Hoover European Appliances Group. In 1995, the Candy Group purchased the entire Hoover European Appliance Group from Maytag Corporation, including the rights to use the brand throughout Europe, North Africa and select countries in the Middle East.
Hoover is part of the Candy group along with other brands: Candy itself, Zerowatt, Rosieres, Otsein, Kelvinator, Iberna and Gias. Gias, a division of Candy Corporation, provides after-sales service for all equipment manufactured by the Candy group.
In Europe and around the world, Hoover is recognized as a premium brand thanks to the highest reputation it has acquired among consumers for the excellent quality and superior consumer properties of its products and its commitment to constant innovation in the field of household appliances.
Hoover strives to ensure that every new model vacuum cleaner pleasantly surprise consumers. Each design development begins with a thorough study of the needs and habits of consumers carried out at home. The data obtained in this way is then implemented into ideas, and ideas into new models of Hoover vacuum cleaners, which allow us to constantly pleasantly surprise consumers with their revolutionary characteristics.
Household appliances produced under the Candy group brands are sold in more than 100 countries around the world at 16,000 points of sale. Exported products account for 2/3 of the group's turnover.
