Abstract
A vacuum cleaner includes a dirt sensor determining a value of an amount of dirt currently being sucked up, a floor sensor indicating a degree of hardness of the surface currently being vacuumed, a display module, and a control module having at least one automatic mode outputting the dirt value on the display module for a degree of hardness below a soft floor limit value, and otherwise determining a reduction value as the dirt value weighted using a weighting value less than one and outputting it on the display module. In a method for operating the vacuum cleaner, the dirt sensor determines the dirt value, the floor sensor determines the degree of hardness, and the control module in the automatic mode outputs the dirt value for a degree of hardness below the soft floor limit value and otherwise outputs the determined reduction value on the display module.
