enabling the vacuum cleaner to become dual-use and to be stored in a compact manner even the handle is assembled on the main body

This invention relates to an electric vacuum cleaner, which includes a vacuum cleaner main body and a handle. The vacuum cleaner main body has an electric blower which is capable of producing suction wind, a driving switch, and a power switch. The handle is detachably coupled to the vacuum cleaner main body and is rotatable with respect to the vacuum cleaner main body. The electric blower can be driven by activating the driving switch or the power switch. With this construction, the vacuum cleaner can be stored in a compact manner even the handle is assembled on the vacuum cleaner main body. Moreover, with the simple operation, the vacuum cleaner can be of dual-use as portable electric vacuum cleaner or rod-type electric vacuum cleaner; thus the usage convenience of the electric vacuum cleaner can be increased
