Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile floor-cleaning appliance having a housing in which a cleaning tool is mounted, and having a handle holder which is mounted on the housing and is adapted to be connected to a handle in order to guide the appliance along a floor surface which is to be cleaned. In order to develop the mobile floor-cleaning appliance such that the handle holder can be reliably arrested in a rest position and can easily be transferred from the rest position into an operating position, it is proposed according to the invention that the handle holder is adapted to be pivoted about two pivot axes oriented obliquely or perpendicularly in relation to one another and is adapted to be arrested in a rest position, at least one arresting element being associated with each of the two pivot axes, for arresting the handle holder, wherein it is possible to eliminate the arresting action on the handle holder in relation to the two pivot axes by virtue of the handle holder being pivoted as desired out of the rest position about one of the two pivot axes.
