         4 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one retaining element is elastically deformable. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one retaining element forms a detent element by means of which the carrying handle of the container is latchable. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one first stop element, which protrudes from the placement surface and has a first stop surface, is situated at a second edge of the placement surface, which edge faces away from the first edge. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one second stop element which protrudes from the placement surface and has a second stop surface facing toward the first stop surface is situated at the first edge of the placement surface. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 7 , wherein the at least one second stop element has an outer side which faces away from the second stop surface, and the at least one retaining element has a retaining portion which protrudes beyond the outer side of the second stop element. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 8 , wherein the retaining portion protrudes beyond the second stop element in the direction of the surface normal of the placement surface. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning appliance according to  claim 7 , wherein the at least one second stop element is fixedly connected to a retaining element. 
     
     
         11 .
