Vacuum cleaner (10) having a housing (11) and a removable Staubabscheideeinheit (20) having a lid (21) and a lid lock (23), and which in its mounted position on the vacuum cleaner (10) is arranged, and the lid lock (23) releasably in a first and a second position is engageable with the lid (21) fixed in the first position of the lid locking (23) on the Staubabscheideeinheit (20), and in the second position of Deckelverrieglung (23) from the Staubabscheideeinheit is, and the vacuum cleaner (10) has a limiting means (14) for fixing the lid lock (23) in the first position, wherein the possible positions of the lid lock (23) due to the limiting means in the mounted position of the Staubabscheideeinheit (20) (14) are restricted to the first position. The present invention allows with simple constructive and cost-effective means to provide a vacuum cleaner with a Staubabscheideeinheit in which a faulty operation of the lid lock, for example, can be prevented during the suction process. In addition, ease of use, the lid locking is achievable. Next a shapely design of the vacuum cleaner, for example, can be achieved without protruding parts.
