Abstract

A vacuum cleaner has a compartment which houses a removable storage tray 7 large enough to provide storage for a number of tools or the like. The compartment is provide with a pair of doors, 7, 8. One of the doors has a handle and the other door has an opening through which the handle of the tray protrudes, so the cleaner may be carried by means of both handles. The compartment is above the main vacuum cleaner canister which houses the dust collecting compartment 3 and the motor compartment 4.
