The disclosure relates to an electric blower apparatus having a blower spiral and a fan wheel rotating in the blower spiral. For driving the fan wheel, an electric motor is disposed on an axial end face of the blower spiral, the drive shaft of the electric motor protruding through a shaft opening in the axial end face and into the blower spiral and being connected to the fan wheel. Configured in the axial end face of the blower spiral is a cooling air opening by way of which a cooling air flow that flows about the electric motor is routed. To guarantee sufficient cooling of the driving electric motor at a minimal consumption of electric energy, it is provided that the cooling air opening is disposed in a pressure region of the blower spiral such that the cooling air flow to the electric motor is a pressurized air flow.
