AN UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

The invention relates to an upright vacuum cleaner comprising a vac-motor for drawing dirty air in through a floor-engaging cleaner head on the vacuum cleaner, a separating apparatus for separating dirt from the dirty air, and a suction wand which is stored on the vacuum cleaner and which can be connected to the separating apparatus via a hose as required to clean above the floor. The external surface of the separating apparatus defines an elongate channel for receiving the stored suction wand such that the separating apparatus partly surrounds the stored suction wand. This provides a compact configuration.
