The machine gets its name from the fact that the fan in the unit moves air and creates a low pressure pathway (a vacuum, though a partial one) that is open at the nozzle (or hose, when using accessories). Air rushes in at the opening of the pathway, and that moving air picks up debris. The air and dirt is then carried to a filter or bag, and the air get out to be returned to the room. Debris is left in the dirt tank or in the bag for disposal.

How is the vacuum created in a vacuum cleaner?

Although it is called a vacuum cleaner, it does not actually create a vacuum. Inside the cleaner there is an electric motor which drives a fan blade. This fan blows air out of the vacuum cleaner and this causes air to be drawn in to the cleaner at the other end. Thus the cleaner works by creating an air flow, not a vacuum.
