Claims (9)

1. A cleaner comprising:

a suction motor that is configured to generate suction force to thereby suction air;

a dust separation unit that includes one or more cyclone units configured to generate cyclonic flow and that is disposed vertically under the suction motor in an orientation of the cleaner in which a center axis of the cyclonic flow is arranged along a vertical direction and intersects the suction motor;

a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed between the suction motor and the one or more cyclone units;

a handle disposed at a rear portion of the cleaner at a position rearward of the suction motor in the orientation of the cleaner in which the center axis of the cyclonic flow is arranged along the vertical direction; and

a battery configured to supply power to the suction motor and disposed under the handle and the suction motor at a position rearward of the dust separation unit in the orientation of the cleaner in which the center axis of the cyclonic flow is arranged along the vertical direction.

2. The cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the one or more cyclone units comprise a first cyclone unit to generate the cyclone airflow and a second cyclone unit that is configured to separate dust from air received from the first cyclone unit, and
