Abstract

A vacuum cleaner includes a floor engaging portion (14) and a handle portion (18) mounted to the floor engaging portion (14). The handle portion (18) includes a support (30) and a body (34). The body (34) includes a suction generating device (46) and a dirt collection container (50). The body (34) is selectively removable from the support (30). The support (30) includes a first latch (70) and a second latch (74) and at least a portion of the body (34) is positionable between the first latch (70) and the second latch (74). The first latch (70) includes a forcing member that biases the body (34) toward an engaged position with the support (30). The body (34) includes a retainer (122) corresponding to the second latch (74). The retainer (122) is engageable with a portion of the second latch (74) when the body (34) is in the engaged position, wherein application of a removal force on the body (34) against the forcing member moves the body (34) from the engaged position enabling the retainer (122) to release from the second latch (74).
