Retry Correct Incorrect The first practical and electric vacuum cleaner was invented by Hubert Cecil Booth, a British engineer, in 1901. Booth’s design used suction to remove dust and dirt from carpets and floors. His machine was large and required a horse-drawn carriage to transport it, limiting its practicality for everyday use.
