Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), 92, issued an emotional eulogy Saturday for \u201cBeth\u201d \u2013 a vintage Hoover vacuum cleaner that\u2019s been used by his family for close to 50 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cU willl see Beth no more,\u201d Grassley wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X Saturday, alongside a photograph of the vacuum cleaner with a black-charred power cord. \u201cSee black that\u2019s from electrical sparks. It\u2019s not safe to use anymore. GOOD BYE BETH . U hv been a real workhorse. Ur namesake still is hard worker. I will miss u.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 92-year-old senator continued, proclaiming in a follow-up post that it was a \u201csad day at the Grassley household,\u201d and that the vacuum cleaner \u2013 which appears to be a Hoover Concept Two, introduced in 1983 \u2013 had operated in his home for 34 years, and 15 years before that at his mother-in-law\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Grassley has shared photographs and video of his Hoover vacuum cleaner for several years<\/u>, and so much so that the news saw a number of GOP lawmakers send their condolences.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry for your loss,\u201d wrote Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cThey don\u2019t build them like they used to.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2021, Grassley revealed the origins behind the name of his vacuum, as well as why he prefers to vacuum during family gatherings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanksgiving Time Grassley clan gathers. Get out old reliable Beth,\u201d he wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cCalled Beth bc of a reliable Atlantic family farmer\/former staffer for me & Iowans. I vacuum bc I don\u2019t want to be peeling potatoes.\u201d<\/p>\n
