An upright vacuum cleaner comprises a vac-motor for drawing dirty air in through a floor-engaging cleaner head on the vacuum cleaner, a separating apparatus 13 for separating dirt from the dirty air, and a suction wand which is stored on the 5 vacuum cleaner and which can be connected to the separating apparatus 13 via a hose as required to clean above the floor. The external surface of the separating apparatus 13 defines an elongate channel 19 for receiving the stored suction wand such that the separating apparatus 13 partly surrounds the stored suction wand. This arrangement provides a compact configuration. An upright chassis 15 may be provided which runs up the rear of the cleaner behind the separating apparatus 13 and the elongate channel 19 is configured to receive at least part of the upright chassis 15 such that the separating apparatus 13 partly surrounds the upright chassis 15. |
