Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally transparent: 'cyclonic' means 'using cyclone-like action' and 'vacuum' is a cleaning appliance, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a vacuum that uses a cyclone effect to separate dust. This modifier + noun pattern is a straightforward semantic combination and does not require idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
The noun cyclonic vacuum comes from the image of a small cyclone of air inside the vacuum that spins very fast. The spinning air throws dust into a bin so the cleaner collects dirt 'without a bag', which is why we call it 'cyclonic' today.
