Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2898808A1] A canister vacuum cleaner comprises a body 11 having means 26 for separating and collecting dirt and dust that is drawn into the cleaner by a motor and fan unit 25 disposed in the body 11, and a rigid tubular wand 10 connected to a body 11 of the cleaner via an elongate flexible hose 12, the tubular wand 10 having a handle portion 14 for grasping by the user, a motor 20 in the body 11 for driving a single wheel 19 disposed centrally on the underside of the body 11. A switch 15 is provided on the handle 14 for selectively operating the motor 20 to drive the body 11 forwardly and rearwardly across a floor surface on which the body 11 is located. The position of the body 11 can thus be precisely controlled to avoid possible obstruction to movement of the body 11 by contact or collision with furniture and other objects, and the possible damage and annoyance associated with such events. Also the need for the user to pay vigilant attention to the movement of the body 11 is negated.
