Singer Vacuum Cleaners

The Singer Corporation is best known as one of the leading manufacturers of sewing machines, but they’ve also made other products over the years, including vacuum cleaners. The first model was released in the 1920s, and the company has continued to make them. They’ve never been a leader in the world of vacuum cleaners; some of their designs have been quite popular. They have also made some products relating to vacuums such as belts, bags and filters.

The history of the Singer Corporation began in 1851 when Isaac Merritt Singer worked with Edward Clark to form a company to manufacture sewing machines. When the company formed, it was known as I.M. Singer & Co. and Singer himself served as president. He would hold this post until 1863, when he passed responsibilities over to Inslee Hopper. Two years later, Hopper changed the name to the Singer Manufacturing Company.

Following Hopper, Edward Clark took control of the company back and led the company for almost a decade. Other notable presidents included George Ross McKenzie, Sir Douglas Alexander, who created the first Singer vacuum cleaner, David P. Kircher, and James H. Ting. Singer was also run in the past by Frederick Gilbert Bourne, Milton C. Licghtner, Joseph Flavin and Steve Goodman.

For a good portion of the company’s history, they operated in New York City, New York. They later moved to LaVergne, Tennessee. The Singer Building in New York City is well known, and is still closely connected with the history of the company. The president at the time, Frederick Bourne, had previously used architect Ernest Flagg on private projects, and hired him again to create the Singer Building.

Construction on the project ended in 1906, and was notable for a few reasons. It was the tallest building ever built at the time, and was one of the largest connected to a single business. Singer also saw a change happening in 1911, when several workers in their Scotland plant went on strike. The strike lasted several months and when it ended, the Singer Corporation laid off a number of workers connected to the strike.

In 1929, Singer took a bold step forward by buying competitor, Standard Sewing Machine Company. That same year they released their first vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner was an immediate hit and helped the company launch a new division devoted to the manufacturing of Singer vacuum cleaners. It was also notable because it was the first time the company broadened into other areas outside of the sewing machines.

One of the more popular models is the Upright Cyclonic, also known as the Singer Lazer Storm Bagless Upright Cyclonic. This Singer vacuum cleaner works as three different machines: a handheld vacuum, a canister vacuum and an upright cleaner. It also comes with an extra-long power cord, detachable tools, and a fiber filter to reduce dirt in the air. The whole vacuum weighs less than ten pounds and is one of the cheaper models released by the company. It cleans furniture, carpeted floors, tiled floors and many other surfaces.
