A vacuum accessory tool is provided. The vacuum accessory tool includes a body, a turbine, a generator, and a light source. The body defines a suction inlet, a fluid outlet, and a fluid flow path extending from the suction inlet to the fluid outlet. The turbine is rotatably mounted to the body in fluid communication with the fluid flow path to be rotated by fluid passing through the fluid flow path. The generator is coupled to the turbine such that rotation of the turbine rotates the shaft to generate power. The light source is electrically coupled to the generator and configured to receive the power generated by the generator to power the light source by the fluid passing through the fluid flow path.

A multifunctional cleaning device includes a main body, a telescopic tube body, a cleaning head set and a control unit. Multiple drive units are mounted on one side of the main body. The main body has a detection unit for detecting cleaning range and path. The telescopic tube body is telescopically connected with the main body. The telescopic tube body has a first end and a second end. The first and second ends are respectively connected with the main body and the cleaning head set in communication therewith. The control unit is disposed in the main body to execute system control and judge received signals so as to give commands to the drive units for controlling the move of the main body.

An improved shop vacuum with wet/dry capability uses a vacuum tube that terminates in a space between the canister and the vacuum compartment such that the substance and content exiting the vacuum tube is not directly opposed the negative pressure source. This allows the substance to drain into the canister in a more controlled and less volatile condition, reducing splashing and entrainment of the substance. Moreover, a second exit for the vacuum has been added to the canister to improve the efficiency of the vacuum and the overall performance of the device.

A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.

The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a recovery system that extracts liquid and debris with a drying cycle in which forced air flows through a recovery pathway of the recovery system to dry out components that remain wet and/or retain moisture after normal operation of the apparatus. The post-operation drying cycle can dry out components such as an agitator or brushroll, a brush chamber, a suction nozzle, a recovery tank, a filter, and any of the various conduits, ducts, and/or hoses fluidly coupling components of the recovery system together.

A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a base assembly, an upright assembly, and a fluid recovery system. The base assembly includes a base housing, a brush chamber, at least one brushroll in the brush chamber; and a removable brush housing. A portion of the brush chamber is removable with the brush housing.

Vacuum cleaner hose for connecting to a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, wherein the vacuum cleaner hose has an inner lumen extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein a flow guiding geometry is formed within the lumen or adjoining the lumen, by which a suction flow occurring during the operation of the wet and dry vacuum cleaner can be influenced.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.

Improved flow control valve assemblies for fluid systems (e.g., pools or spas) are provided. Advantageous flow control valve assemblies for pool/spa cleaners (e.g., suction pool/spa cleaners) are provided. The present disclosure provides for flow control assemblies for suction pool/spa cleaners, with the cleaners utilized in conjunction with a variable speed pump. A manual valve set-up can be removed from the system, and an advantageous flow control valve assembly can be provided to automatically regulate the flow/suction to the cleaner. The improved flow control valve assembly thereby provides regulated flow to the cleaner, so that if the cleaner remains in the water at low pump speeds, when the pump is later operated at a higher speed the cleaner will function as designed. When there is flow/suction below the desired operating parameters of the cleaner, the pump will operate as desired, and the cleaner is stationary.

An extraction cleaner includes a supply tank, a recovery tank, a pump, a suction source, a base configured to support the suction source and the pump, an external hose, and a hose attachment assembly. The hose attachment assembly has a suction conduit extending from a suction inlet connected to the proximal end of the hose to a suction outlet in fluid communication with the recovery tank. The suction conduit is removable from the base with the hose. The hose attachment assembly also has a fluid coupling which is removable with the suction conduit. The fluid coupling extends from a coupling inlet in fluid communication with the pump to a coupling outlet coupled to a supply tube having one or more portions carried within the suction conduit. The proximal end of the hose is at least partially nested adjacent the base when the suction conduit is coupled to the base.
