SUCTION CLEANER WITH A CONNECTING PIECE

A suction cleaner (10) with a suction cleaner housing (11) and a connecting piece (20) for releasably connecting a suction air guide (12) to the suction cleaner housing (11), wherein the connecting piece (20) has a connecting-piece axis (21); and the connecting piece (20) has an engagement point (22) and the suction cleaner housing (11) has a tapping-off point (13), wherein the engagement point (22) and tapping-off point (13) are arranged with respect to each other in such a manner that, in an operating position of the connecting piece (20), a transverse force which acts on the connecting piece (20) at an angle to the connecting-piece axis (21) can be transmitted. This enables a stable connection between the suction air guide (12) and the suction cleaner (10) via the connecting piece with simple structural and cost-effective means. In particular, the connecting piece (20) can be prevented from becoming detached from the suction cleaner (10) even when a high force is applied to the suction cleaner (10) via the suction air guide (12), for example if the suction cleaner is unfavourably handled. Furthermore, the sealing between the suction air guide (12) and the suction cleaner (10) can be improved.
