An electric blower comprising:

• a rotor assembly;
• and
• a housing accommodating the rotor assembly, and having an intake port and a discharge port, wherein
• the rotor assembly includes:
• a shaft;
• an impeller mounted on the shaft, and generating a negative pressure at the intake port by rotation;
• a rotor core mounted on the shaft;
• and
• a pair of bearings having an inner peripheral side mounted on an outer periphery of the shaft, and having an outer peripheral side fixedly mounted on the housing,
• the pair of bearings are arranged between the impeller and the rotor core,
• the housing includes a frame formed of an integral body of a bearing holding portion and a stator holding portion, the bearing holding portion holding the pair of bearings in a state where outer peripheral surfaces of the bearings are in contact with the bearing holding portion, and the stator holding portion holding a stator which drives the rotor core, and
• the bearing holding portion projects in an axial direction of the bearing holding portion toward the stator holding portion side.
