Abstract

The vacuum cleaner (SS) has a number of operating controls (BE1,BE2) including at least one foot-operated push-button and at least one foot-operated slider. Each operating control has an external operating surface component of a material , e.g. an elastomer, which is softer than the relatively hard material for the remainder of the operating control.
