A dirt box for an upright vacuum cleaner comprises an elliptical upper side wall portion below a top wall, a bowl-shaped bottom wall, an inlet neck opening into the chamber in the lengthwise direction and below one end of the upper side wall portion, and aimed to establish a swirling action. An outlet port for the dirt box is off-center toward the end from which the inlet extends. The bowl-bottomed dirt box is tilted and emptied through the inlet neck.
