PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vacuum cleaner wherein the maintainability of a filter element which performs a filtering-separation while suppressing a reduction in the cleaning performance by an inertial separation can be improved. SOLUTION: In an airflow channel from a suction port of a vacuum cleaner body and an air suction port 33A of an electric blower 33, a first dust separating unit 61 which separates coarse dust from air flowing in the airflow channel by an inertial separating action, a dust accumulating unit 55 which is provided in parallel at the separating unit 61 and accumulates dust separated by the separating unit 61, and a second dust separating unit (filter) 80 arranged on the downstream side of the separating unit 55 are respectively provided. The filter 80 is equipped with a mat-like filter element which filters out dust which has passed the first dust separating unit. The filter 80 extends in the parallel direction with the first dust separating unit 61 and the dust accumulating unit 55, and is arranged across the insides of at least one part of the projection region of the dust accumulating unit 55 and the projection region of the first dust separating unit 61.
