A vacuum cleaner, also known simply as a vacuum or a hoover, is a device that causes suction in order to remove dirt from floors, upholstery, draperies, and other surfaces. It is generally electrically driven.

The dirt is collected by either a dustbag or a cyclone for later disposal. Vacuum cleaners, which are used in homes as well as in industry, exist in a variety of sizes and models—small battery-powered hand-held devices, wheeled canister models for home use, domestic central vacuum cleaners, huge stationary industrial appliances that can handle several hundred litres of dust before being emptied, and self-propelled vacuum trucks for recovery of large spills or removal of contaminated soil.

• One type of vacuum cleaner that can be used for both wet and dry cleaning jobs is the 40-liter wet and dry vacuum cleaner. The term "40-liter capacity" describes the volume of the dustbin or collection tank that can accommodate up to 40 liters of liquid or solid waste.
