To provide a vacuum cleaner capable of continuously cleaning a net filter attached to a dust separating part for the centrifugal separation during cleaning, and capable of retaining the separation capability in the dust separating part.
The vacuum cleaner includes the dust separating part 51 for centrifuging dust in a dust-including air current sucked by an electric blower and air. The dust separating part 51 includes a separation chamber 52 through which the dust-including air current passes in such a way as to circulate from an air inlet to a discharge opening, and a filter part 53 attached to a side wall 52B of the separation chamber 52 and having the net filter NF which part of the dust-including air current circulating within the separation chamber 52 permeates. A rotatable cleaner 111 to be rotated with the air current passing through the separation chamber 52 during the operation of the electric blower is disposed in the separation chamber 52. The cleaner 111 has an air flow receiving part 113 for receiving the air current passing through the separation chamber 52, and a cleaning member 114 in contact with the surface of the net filter NF.
