Abstract

There is provided a method of controlling a vacuum cleaner having a dust collection unit in which dusts separated from air sucked by a suction motor are stored. The method includes operating the suction motor with a first driving force, determining an amount of the dusts stored in the dust collection unit, and operating the suction motor with a second driving force greater than the first driving force as the amount of the dusts increases.
