  • Patent number: 11116375
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle for drawing dirty air into the vacuum cleaner and an exhaust for expelling cleaned air out of the vacuum cleaner; and an air flow passage extending from the suction nozzle to the exhaust through a dirt separator. The vacuum cleaner further includes a vacuum motor arranged to draw a flow of air through the vacuum cleaner from the suction nozzle to the exhaust, the vacuum motor comprising an electric motor and an impeller which rotates about a motor axis. The vacuum cleaner further includes an electronic visual display configured to display information relating to the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum motor is housed inside a motor bucket which is positioned in the flow passage, and the electronic visual display is mounted to the motor bucket and supported thereby.
