ELECTRIC CLEANER
First Claim
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a cleaner body;
an electric blower accommodated in the cleaner body;
a floor nozzle provided on a bottom of the cleaner body;
a hose detachably attached to the floor nozzle, the hose allowing the cleaner body to communicate with the floor nozzle;
a hose detector detecting whether or not the hose is attached to the floor nozzle; and
a controller operable tosupply a first power to the electric blower if the hose detector detects that the hose is attached to the floor nozzle, andsupply a second power higher than the first power if the hose detector detects that the hose is detached from the floor nozzle and the mode detector detects that the cleaner body stands.

Abstract
A vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body capable of standing and inclining, an electric blower accommodated in the cleaner body, a floor nozzle capable of cleaning a surface while the cleaner body inclines, a mode detector detecting whether the cleaner body stands or inclines, and a controller controlling a power supplied to the electric blower. The controller is operable to supply a first power the electric blower if the mode detector detects that the cleaner body inclines, and to supply a second power lower than the first power to the electric blower if the mode detector detects that the cleaner body stands. This vacuum cleaner prevents the electric blower from overheating.
