Zusammenfassung:A vacuum cleaner system having an electric powerhead with a first switc h actuator component which can be actuated with a user's thumb, to turn on and off the powerhead, and a second switch actuator component which can be actuated with the user's foot, to also turn on and off the powerhead. The first switch actuator component is used when the powerhead is being used in a hand - held cleaning mode. The second switch actuator component is used when the powerhead is being used in a floor cleaning mode along with an upright handl e attached to the powerhead. An anti-tip over lockout system is incorporated f or preventing the powerhead from being accidentally turned on when it is being held in an upside down orientation, such as during cleaning of a beater brush thereof.
