Abstract
A floor cleaning apparatus includes a nozzle assembly and a canister assembly connected to the nozzle assembly. A suction generator and a dirt collection vessel are carried by the nozzle assembly or the canister assembly. In addition, the vacuum cleaner includes a control handle displaceable between operating and storage positions. A stabilizer on the handle is provided adjacent the floor in the storage position. Engagement of the stabilizer with the floor prevents the vacuum cleaner from inadvertently tipping over rearwardly.
