Claim:
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising: a main body having a locking recess; a dirt cup removably mounted to the main body and having an outwardly-facing side wall and a hand grip on the side wall; and a latch mechanism carried by the dirt cup for selectively fastening the dirt cup to the main body, comprising: wherein, when the at least one button is pressed, the latch actuator bears against the latch member to initiate vertical translational movement of the latch member relative to the latch actuator, which moves the latch member from a latched position in which the locking portion is received within the locking recess to an unlatched position in which the locking portion is removed from the locking recess, thereby allowing the dirt cup to be removed from the vacuum cleaner; and wherein a user can grip the hand grip and actuate the latch mechanism to lift dirt cup away from main body using a single hand.
