Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2505112A1] The vacuum cleaner (1) has a suction fan (24) for creating vacuum in a suction tube (12), where an end of the tube is provided with a nozzle (10). A detector detects the presence of the nozzle. A housing comprises an electronic control unit (25) for activating the suction fan in two operating modes when the nozzle is detected and not detected, respectively, where the modes respectively correspond to the supply of minimum and maximum electric power to the suction fan. The detector comprises a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader (26) for detecting an RFID tag (16) placed on the nozzle.
