suction cleaner

Air-powered dirt remover

A suction cleaner is a device that removes dirt or debris by creating a vacuum—drawing material inward through airflow.

The term usually refers to a vacuum cleaner for floors and carpets, though it also describes pool cleaners that work by the same principle: The suction cleaner crawled along the bottom of the pool.
