World’s Oldest Vacuum Cleaner Still Sucks After 108 Years

Faline · #1 ● 03-05-2012, 08:02 AM

STILL sucking after 108 years, Harry Cox owns the oldest known working vacuum.

He rescued the cleaner and accessories from a skip at work before it went to a landfill site.

Harry, at 53 less than half the age of his 1904 American *Sturtevant vacuum cleaner No.4, said: “There was a walk-in skip at the factory and I rescued it.

"I like to collect things that are getting thrown away, restore them and give them a new lease of life. It makes me feel good.”

Harry is factory production manager at paper merchant W L Coller of Greater Manchester.

Despite his enthusiasm for old machines, his wife Jacqueline ignores the heavy, noisy antique and prefers to clean their three-bed semi in Timperley, with a more modern model.

Bill Whitwam, of Leicester, was previously believed to have the oldest working vacuum with a 1929 Hoover Senior.

Fun math: In 3 years, he will be more than half the age of his 1904 American Sturtevant vacuum cleaner.

I'm not a dude, so maybe I just don't understand, but I would not want a 108 year old lady sucking on my knob.

90 years old, tops.

That's actually a good ad for the product! I think they stop making things that last too long and replace them with shit!

They did that with my car, but, I still have mine. I'm going on my second 15 years, lol!
