Abstract
A vacuum cleaner with a first cyclonic dirt separation and a secondary cyclonic dirt separation and a bottom dirt-collecting bin beneath the first cyclone separator and a filter beneath the dirt cup and between the dirt cup and a suction source inlet. The secondary cyclones oriented generally perpendicular to the first cyclone separator. A separator plate separates the cyclone separator from the dirt cup. Fins project from a sidewall of the dirt tank, and fingers projecting from a bottom wall of the dirt tank. A hollow standpipe in the dirt cup transports working air from the cyclone separator outlet to the filter.
