Provided is an electric vacuum cleaner able to more efficiently clean in narrow spaces while also effectively avoiding an object (P). An object sensor (31) is provided to a main case (15) and detects the presence or absence of an object (P) within a predetermined distance in a plurality of directions on the front side of the main case (15). A control unit allows the main case (15) to travel autonomously by controlling the operation of drive wheels (25), (25) on the basis of a detection of the object (P) by the object sensor (31). When the object (P) has been detected by the object sensor (31), the control unit controls the operation of the drive wheels (25), (25) so as to orient a side part of the main case (15) toward the object (P), by turning the main case (15) by an angle corresponding to the detected direction of the object (P). |
