A vacuum cleaner comprising:

• a vacuum body housing having an exterior side;
• a vacuum pump to draw air into the interior side of the vacuum body housing;
• a vacuum cleaner handle mount assembly securable to the vacuum body housing comprising:
• a handle having a first leg and a second leg;
• a mount housing for connecting the handle to the vacuum cleaner and on which the handle is disposed, the handle pivotable relative to the mount housing, and the mount housing having a first channel for connecting the mount housing to the handle, the first channel having two walls extending vertically from the mount housing and facing each other to form a first area in the mount housing, and a second channel disposed parallel to the first channel for connecting the mount housing to the handle, the second channel having two walls extending vertically from the mount housing and facing each other to form a second area in the mount housing,
• wherein the first leg is pivotably secured in the first area by a dowel pin connecting the first leg between the two walls of the first channel for making the handle pivotable relative to the mount housing and the second leg is pivotably secured in the second area between the two walls of the second channel for making the handle pivotable relative to the mount housing;
• a first pivoting lock for preventing the handle from pivoting during use;
• and
• a first nest disposed in one of the two walls of the first channel for holding the first pivoting lock;
• wherein the first pivoting lock is rotatable between an in-use position and a storage position, wherein the first pivoting lock is spaced apart a distance from the dowel pin along a longitudinal axis of the first channel for preventing the handle from pivoting during use and wherein the first pivoting lock is located within the first nest in the storage position for permitting the handle to pivot for storage of the vacuum cleaner, the first pivoting lock rotatable along an axis of rotation different from an axis of rotation of the first leg and an second axis of rotation of the second leg.
