Abstract: A vacuum cleaner 20 includes a housing 22 having a handle 208 and a brush compartment 82 for receipt of a brush assembly 104. A channel 210 is formed in the top of handle 208 and supports a hose 160 therein. A crevice tool 194 is coupled to hose 160 and is located in a continuation of channel 210 at a forward portion of housing 22. A forward portion of crevice tool 194 is located in a receptacle 100 formed in housing 22. A dust cup 52 is attachable to housing 22 and forms a dust collection chamber 47. When the vacuum cleaner 20 is operated in a brush mode, dirt-laden air is collected by operation of the brush assembly 104 over a surface being cleaned. In this mode, openings through crevice tool 194 and hose 160 serve as a conduit for the dirt-laden air to the dust collection chamber 47.
