To provide a vacuum cleaner in which a dust collecting type can be switched between a paper pack type and a cyclone type, the flexibility of model expansion is high, a paper pack is easily inserted, and which detects non-loading of the paper pack.
A paper pack insertion guide 82 is freely detachably arranged inside a dust collecting chamber 531, the collar 61 of the paper pack is inserted downward from above, and both side parts of the collar 61 are supported. The paper pack insertion guide 82 includes two trapezoidal side face parts narrowed gradually from the lower part to the upper part, a beam-like horizontal part for connecting the front ends of both side face parts with each other, and guide rails roughly vertically extended from the rear ends of the respective side face parts. The center in the vertical direction of the collar is positioned below the center of a dust collecting bag, the turning reference of the collar is present at a lower case, and the centroid position of the paper pack is at the upper part than a conventional article in the view from the turning reference. Thus, by the inclination of the paper pack to the dust collecting chamber side by the gravity of the paper pack, a clearance is generated between the collar and a paper pack fixing component, and it becomes easy to determine non-loading.
