Abstract (en)

A suction cleaner that sucks in dust, from a suction mouth, with airflow generated through operation of an electric air blower and introduces the sucked airflow into a dust collection device to collect the dust. The suction mouth is provided with a first suction mouth and a second suction mouth, and, when in use, one of the suction mouths are selected by a suction mouth-switching device. The second suction mouth has a smaller opening area than the first suction mouth and a high-speed suction airflow is generated. A suction passage is provided between the first suction mouth and the suction mouth-switching device, a suction passage is also provided between the second suction mouth and the suction mouth switching-device, the latter suction mouth being arranged on top of the former suction mouth. Part of the latter suction mouth is structured by a detachable cap formed of a transparent or semitransparent material. Further, the suction mouth can be provided with an opening area-adjusting device that adjusts the opening area of the suction mouth. <IMAGE>
