These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

The First Siemens Vacuum Cleaner

Reddit

Taken in 1906 is this photo of a housekeeper using the very first Siemens vacuum cleaner in Germany. Just look at how big the first model was back in the day. Of course, it was originally called dedusting pumps before it became known as a vacuum cleaner. This model had a one horsepower engine and weighed approximately 660 pounds. Today’s machines are not only small enough to fit inside a closet but they are a lot lighter than they used to be.
