Electrically and battery powered vacuum cleaner

Abstract

A dual powered vacuum cleaner apparatus is presented. The apparatus includes a housing including an electrical powered means for providing suction for cleaning, a battery for supplying a first electrical power to the suction means and a cord compartment. An electrical cord containable within the cord compartment for supplying a second electrical power to the suction means is included. And, means for moving the apparatus from one location to another is supplied. The apparatus may be operated by the first electrical power when the second electrical power is unavailable and may be operated by the second electrical power when the first electrical power is unavailable.
