Abstract

A vacuum cleaner for use in either a canister form or a stick form is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body (10), a suction unit (20) having an air suction opening formed in a bottom surface of the cleaner body (10) to drawn in air, a dust collecting unit (40) disposed in the cleaner body to separate dust or dirt from the air and to collect and store the dust or dirt therein, and a mode selecting unit (60) on the cleaner body (10) to select one of a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a mode where a handle member for moving the cleaner body is connected to the cleaner body and the suction unit (20) and the dust collecting unit (40) are communicated with each other. The second mode is a mode where an external accessory is connected to the cleaner body (10) to communicate with the dust collecting unit (40).
