vacuum cleaner

Motorized dust collector

A vacuum cleaner is a machine that sucks up dust and debris from floors and other surfaces.

It works by creating a partial vacuum that draws in air along with dirt, which collects in a bag or canister.

I need to run the vacuum cleaner before the guests arrive.

Often shortened to vacuum: Give the rug a quick vacuum.
