Abstract
A vacuum cleaner comprising a housing (1), in which a dust compartment (5), which can be closed by a dust compartment cover and is designed to receive a dust interceptor (6), and a fan compartment (7) for receiving a motor-driven fan unit (8) are configured. The vacuum cleaner also comprises a receiving compartment (16) for attachments (17), which extends below the dust compartment (5) and/or the fan compartment (7) and can be accessed by means of an opening (18) in the housing (1). The aim of the invention is to permit users to remove attachments (17) easily from the receiving compartment (16) that is located below the dust compartment (5) and the fan compartment (7). To achieve this, the opening(s) (18) is/are provided in a lateral wall (19) of the housing (1). This permits attachments (17) to be removed, without bringing the vacuum cleaner out of its normal operating position.
