Carpet Sweepers
 There are only two real names when it comes to Carpet Sweepers - Ewbank or Bissell.
Melville Bissell is credited with the invention of the first working cordless manual carpet sweeper in 1876. Anna and Melville Bissell owned a small crockery shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While cleaning up after the day's work, Anna often became frustrated with the sawdust that was embedded in the carpet.
Anna presented the problem to Melville, her mechanically inclined husband. Melville designed and constructed a carpet sweeper machine that he hoped would solve the problem once and for all. His ingenious design was a success, and word of Melville Bissell's carpet sweeper spread quickly.
In 1883 the first BISSELL manufacturing plant was built in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Today Bissell Inc. is an industry leader, with products sold in more than 60 countries. Still privately owned and still managed by the Bissell family,
A household name to many people, Ewbank is best know for its carpet sweepers which were a feature of virtually every British home throughout the 50's and 60's. Ewbank introduced their first carpet sweeper in the UK in 1880.
We currently stock the Bissell Carpet Mate Sweeper, Bissell Natural Sweeper, the Ewbank Speedsweeper and Ewbank Evolution Carpet Sweeper.
