Abstract
A vacuum cleaner includes a housing, inside of which is a suction chamber with a suction device and control electronics therein. A structural unit on the housing includes operating elements to operate the vacuum cleaner. There is an opening in the housing to the suction chamber. A support element is included that covers the opening. The support element includes contact strips providing electrical connection to the operating elements. There are plug-in connectors inside the housing connectable with the contact strip that provide a wired connection to the control electronics. The control electronics are cooled by an air stream resulting from the suction device.
