Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2017080410A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaner (1), especially a domestic vacuum cleaner, equipped with a fan, and a determination and control device (4).SOLUTION: A determination and control device (4) changes suction force of a fan (2) according to an arrangement state of a cleaner with respect to a surface (3), the arrangement state of the cleaner being a contact state in which the cleaner (1) is placed on the surface (3), and a non-contact state in which the cleaner (1) is lifted from the surface. The determination and control device (4) is configured to set the suction force to a higher value in the determination of the non-contact state than in the determination of the contact state. Furthermore, the operation method of the cleaner (1) is characterized in that the suction force is set to a higher value when the cleaner is determined to be in the non-contact state than when the cleaner is determined to be in the contact state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
