In particular, it is possible to arrange the control unit 40 laterally next to the battery cover 70 and the suction unit 42 laterally next to the filter cover 54 and the filter element 50.
- the vacuum cleaner 10 thus has a slim construction, and on the bottom surface 66 only a small space is claimed.
- the arrangement of the battery receptacles 92 in the battery cover 70 also makes it possible to save battery receptacles on the filter cover 54, as for example in the in the aforementioned document WO
- the battery cover 70 is transferred to the open position, the user is also more easily the pureraum glove access to the filter cover 54 allows. Unlike the vacuum cleaner described in the above-mentioned document, it is not necessary to previously To remove batteries 90 from the battery holders 92. These may rather remain in the battery cover 70.
- FIG. 4 shows, in a manner corresponding to FIG. 1, a second preferred embodiment of a vacuum cleaner, which is designated overall by the reference numeral 100.
- the vacuum cleaner 100 is designed substantially identical to the vacuum cleaner 10, and the achievable with this advantages can also be achieved with the vacuum cleaner 100.
- identical reference numerals are used, and below, only the essential differences of the two vacuum cleaners 10 and 100 are discussed.
- the battery receptacles 92 include protective covers 102 for closing the openings 94 on the back 16.
- the protective covers 102 are provided to protect the battery receptacles 92 from ingress of dirt and liquid, such as splashing water.
- the protective covers can occupy protective positions in which the openings 94 are sealed.
- an actuating element 104 for example in the form of a handle, the protective covers 102 can be transferred to a release position in which the batteries 90 can be inserted into or removed from the battery holders 92.
- the protective covers occupy a protective position only if no batteries 90 are arranged in the battery holders 92, otherwise the protective covers 102 can take the release position, in which case the batteries 90 can protrude in sections from the battery receptacles 92.
- the protective covers 102 may be held on the battery holder 92 incidentally, for example, clamping and / or detent. Furthermore, a movable mounting of the protective covers 102 is possible, in particular a pivotable or displaceable mounting.
