ABOUT VACUUM vs HOOVER

My dear friend Mercedes, married to an Irish guy and living in Ireland for many years, told me about this point:

"I never say "hoover" because I think a Hoover type is a vacuum without a tube and pipes. And I personally prefer to use a vacuum cleaner with a tube and pipes".

I would say: "I am going to vacuum the living room now"
or, for example, "I vacuumed the hall yesterday"
