The present invention relates to a hook retention portion of vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner of the present invention comprises a cleaner body with a motor installed therein; a dust collector engaged detachably in the rear of the cleaner body; and a suction hole portion for guiding air, introduced by the motor, into the cleaner. Further, in the present invention, the suction hole portion is formed with a projecting hook portion, and a hook retention portion for engaging the projecting hook portion therewith is formed in the dust collector, whereby the suction hole portion can be hung on the dust collector. Furthermore, the hook retention portion of the dust collector is formed at a handle that is prominently formed at a rear face of the dust collector. According to the constitution of the present invention, the suction hole portion can be more easily stored on the body of the vacuum cleaner wherein the dust collector is mounted to the rear face of the cleaner body.
