재미있는 사실
The first patent for a vacuum cleaner was granted in 1860 to Daniel Hess of Iowa, USA, for a device that used a water-powered vacuum. However, the first practical, portable vacuum cleaner was invented by James Murray Spangler in 1901, and later bought and improved by William Hoover, whose name became synonymous with vacuum cleaners in many English-speaking countries. The German term 'Staubsauger' emerged as the direct translation and descriptor of this new technology.

-
Using 'ein Staubsauger' when 'den Staubsauger' is required.
