Abstract
Canister type vacuum cleaners, which can be used in any of their horizontal and upright positions. The vacuum cleaners include a casing housing a motor and a vacuum pump and a readily accessible compartment for a dust bag. The casing is free of protuberances and is configured so it will slide easily across the surface of the area in which it is used. It may be surrounded with an integral or removable cover to keep the cleaner from damaging furniture, etc., and/or a removable dolly may be attached to increase the mobility of the cleaner. A readily locatable, foot-operated power switch external to the vacuum cleaner casing is also provided to facilitate turning it on and off.
