ABSTRACT:
A dust collecting container for a vacuum cleaner is removably mounted in a suction chamber of a cleaner body to filter a dust from a dust-laden air being drawn into the suction chamber through an air suction hole that is connected with the outside. The dust collecting container has a dust collecting casing having a connecting hole connected with the air suction hole and a discharge portion for discharging the drawn air, and a filter assembly having at least three filters, and removably mounted at the discharge portion. With the plurality of filters that respectively and consecutively filter from the largest to the most minute particles of the dust-laden air drawn in the dust collecting chamber, the dust collecting container is rarely blocked even for a long period of use.
