According to one embodiment, a handy-type vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner main body, a gripping part for use for gripping the vacuum cleaner main body, and a blower attachment to be attached to/detached from the vacuum cleaner main body. The vacuum cleaner main body includes an electric blower, a dust-collecting device, a main body connecting port, a suction air path, and an exhaust air path. The dust-collecting device stores the dust and dirt sucked by driving of the electric blower. The blower attachment is inserted into/extracted from the main body connecting port. The suction air path communicates between the main body connecting port and the dust-collecting device. The exhaust air path communicates with the exhaust side of the electric blower. The exhaust air path communicates with the blower attachment when the blower attachment is inserted into the main body connecting port.
