Abstract (en)

A vacuum cleaner includes an electric motor for driving a rotational brush for brushing dust particles from a surface to be cleaned, an electric blower for generating a suction air stream for sucking in the dust particles, a dust chamber for collecting the dust particles therein, a motor controller for controlling the electric motor, an input controller for controlling the electric blower, a current detector for detecting a current flowing through the motor controller, and a temperature detector for detecting a temperature of the electric motor. If the temperature of the electric motor increases over a predetermined temperature value, the electric motor is stopped and the stoppage of the electric motor is detected by the current detector.
