Disclosed herein is a vacuum cleaner including a main body generating suction force, a suction head contacting a surface to be cleaned and sucking air and dust from the surface, a handle pipe for user operation, a flexible hose connecting the handle pipe and the main body, and an extension pipe connecting the suction head and the handle pipe. The handle pipe includes a handle pipe body communicating the extension pipe and the flexible hose with each other, and a sub-accessory assembly combined integrally with the handle pipe body so as to suck air and dust from the surface as a substitute for the suction head. In the vacuum cleaner, sub-accessories may be easily replaced, a separate space for storage of the sub-accessories is not required, and there is no danger of loss of the sub-accessories.
