1. A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a main body;
a dust separator removably mounted on the main body;
a cord reel chamber disposed within the main body, the cord reel chamber containing a cord reel around which a power cord is wound, the power cord being configured to supply power to the main body;
an exhaust filter device chamber disposed within the main body, the exhaust filter device chamber being configured to receive therein an exhaust filter device, the exhaust filter device filtering air that passes through a suction motor;
a connection passage that communicates the exhaust filter device chamber with the cord reel chamber; and
a suction motor chamber configured to receive the suction motor therein, wherein the exhaust filter device chamber is disposed downstream of the suction motor chamber and the cord reel chamber is disposed downstream of the exhaust filter device chamber, and wherein the cord reel chamber, the exhaust filter device chamber, and the suction motor chamber communicate, such that air exhausted from the dust separator flows into the main body, passes through the suction motor, then passes through the exhaust filter device chamber, and then at least a portion passes through the cord reel chamber.
