A handheld vacuum cleaner (2) comprising a handle 6 by which the vacuum cleaner (2) is supported during normal use and a cyclonic separating unit (8) having a longitudinal axis and a dirt collector (38, 51) at one end of the cyclonic separating unit (8). The cyclonic separating unit (8) comprises an end portion (26) having a closed configuration in which dirt is retained within the dirt collector (38, 51) and an open configuration for the removal of dirt from the dirt collector (38, 51). The handle (6) has a pistol grip configuration in which the handle (6) is inclined with respect to the cyclonic separating unit (8) to form an angle of not less than (85) degrees and not greater than 140 degrees between the handle (6) and the longitudinal axis X of the cyclonic separating unit (8). |
