A vacuum cleaner includes a dust collection chamber, a cover configured to close the dust collection chamber and a mount for a dust bag disposed in the dust collection chamber. The mount is pivotable about a pivot axis from a first position blocking a closure path of the cover to a second position in which the mount does not block closure path of the cover. The mount is pivotable into the second position upon receiving of the dust bag. The location of the mount in the first and second positions and a position of the center of gravity of the mount relative to the pivot axis are configured so as to automatically pivot the mount from the second position to the first position when the dust bag is removed from the mount and when the vacuum cleaner is disposed in a normal operating position on a substantially level surface.
