Provided is an electric cleaner (11) that reliably cleans dust further on the outside than outer edge of a main case (12), by using a side brush (26), and is capable of detecting obstacles (W) by using the position of the side brush (26). The electric cleaner (11) has the main case (12), a drive wheel, the side brush (26), an obstacle sensor (74), and a control unit. The drive wheel is capable of moving the main case (12). The side brush (26) is provided so as be reciprocally movable between a direction protruding from the outer edge of the main case (12) and the opposite direction and can clean dust positioned further outside than the outer edge of the main case (12). The obstacle sensor (74) detects obstacles (W) by detecting movement of the side brush (26) in the opposite direction caused by the side brush (26) coming in contact with the obstacle (W). The control unit causes the main case (12) to travel autonomously, by controlling drive of the drive wheel on the basis of detection of obstacles (W) by the obstacle sensor (74). |
