Abstract

The disclosure concerns a vacuum cleaner assembly (2) comprising a first vacuum cleaner (4), a second vacuum cleaner (6) removably connected to the first vacuum cleaner (4), and a control arrangement (44). The control arrangement (44) is configured to: - run both first and second motor-fan units (16, 24) while the second vacuum cleaner (6) is in a connected state with the first vacuum cleaner (4), - detect a removal of the second vacuum cleaner (6) from the first vacuum cleaner (4), and in response thereto - perform at least one action related to the first vacuum cleaner (4) and / or the second vacuum cleaner (6).
