Fuses blow because the current passing through them exceeds their current rating.
If the vacuum cleaner is blowing fuses there is most probably a short circuit connection somewhere between the cleaner's power cord plug and the motor in the cleaner.
This could be in either the cord, the on/off switch, the wiring inside the cleaner or the motor.
You would need to have a DMM (digital multimeter) to find out where the problem is so that it can be fixed.
What is the model number of the vacuum cleaner?

The problem may not be with the vacuum cleaner. A Hoover uses a 12 amp motor. The plug can not exceed 15 amps. If other appliances are on the same circuit as the vacuum cleaner, it will blow a fuse. Try different plugs.
