Vacuum pumps use a mechanism to repeatedly expand a cavity, allow gases to flow in from the chamber, seal off the cavity, and exhaust it to the atmosphere. Thereby creating an atmospheric pressure gradient letting the objects/gases to rush along with.

The electric fan inside a vacuum cleaner creates a partial vacuum. Atmospheric pressure then pushes the air through the vacuum nozzle due to pressure difference. In short, it is the force due to the atmospheric pressure of air.
