Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner includes a dust cup assembly, a multi-cone separator and a motor assembly. The dust cup assembly includes a dust cup and a first filter structure. The multi-cone separator includes a number of conical cylinders arranged outside the first filter structure. Air inlet ends of the number of conical cylinders are in fluid communication with an air outlet end of the first filter structure. The motor assembly includes a motor arranged outside the first filter structure. The motor and the number of conical cylinders are located at a same end of the first filter structure. An air inlet end of the motor is in fluid communication with an air outlet end of the multi-cone separator. The number of the conical cylinders at least partially surround a peripheral side of the motor.
