1. A multi-cyclone apparatus for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a primary cyclone separating a large-sized contaminant from air drawn in via an air inlet;
a guide vane formed under the air inlet in the primary cyclone to increase a speed of air drawn into the primary cyclone;
a primary contaminant receptacle collecting a contaminant separated by the primary cyclone;
a plurality of secondary cyclones fluidly communicated with the primary cyclone to separate a fine contaminant from drawn-in air; and
a secondary contaminant receptacle collecting the contaminant separated by the secondary cyclones.
