ELECTRIC VACUUM CLEANER

To propose an electric vacuum cleaner in which a greater surface area per projection area (i.e., per unit projection area) can be obtained, and in which the depth (height) of folds is suppressed. Theelectric vacuum cleaner (3), provided with: a primary electric blower (15) for generating negative pressure; and a filter unit (69) for separating, by filtration, dust from dust-containing air suckedin by the negative pressure generated by the primary electric blower (15). The filter unit (69) has a pair of filters (86, 87) which face each other. 提供每相同的投影面积(每单位投影面积)能够具有更大的表面积、且能够抑制折痕的深度(高度)的电动吸尘器。电动吸尘器(3)具备：一次电动送风机(15)，产生负压；以及过滤器部(69)，从借助一次电动送风机(15)产生的负压被吸入的、包含尘埃的空气将尘埃过滤分离。过滤器部(69)具有相面对的一对过滤器(86、87)。
