a suction unit configured to receive air;
a main body coupled to the suction unit, the main body comprising:
a first body having (i) a first portion that defines a cyclone unit configured to separate dust from the air and (ii) a second portion that defines a dust container configured to receive the dust separated by the cyclone unit,
a suction motor configured to generate a suction force for suctioning the air into the main body through the suction unit, and
a second body that is disposed at an upper side of the first body and accommodates the suction motor, the second body defining a wire hole that receives a wire configured to supply power to the suction motor; and
a handle connected to the main body,
wherein the handle comprises:
a first extension that extends in an up-down direction, and
a second extension that extends from an upper side of the first extension toward the suction motor, and
