A reconfigurable surface treatment apparatus may include a wand and a pod removably coupled to the wand. The wand may have a first distal end that is configured to couple to a surface cleaning head and a second distal end that is configured to couple to a handle. The pod may include a suction motor assembly cavity, a battery cavity, and a dust cup cavity. The suction motor assembly cavity and the battery cavity may be disposed on opposing sides of a vertical plane, wherein the vertical plane extends along a central longitudinal axis of the pod. The dust cup cavity may be disposed between the suction motor assembly cavity and the battery cavity such that at least a portion of the dust cup cavity is disposed on each side of the vertical plane.

A portable surface cleaner having a front end, a rear end and side walls extending between the front and rear ends, each of the front and rear ends has an end wall, wherein a longitudinal axis extends in a longitudinal direction centrally through the portable surface cleaner and intersects the end walls. The surface cleaner has an air flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet to a clean air outlet with an air treatment chamber and a suction motor positioned in the air flow path. The suction motor is spaced from the air treatment chamber in the longitudinal direction. In operation to clean a surface, a brush and a hose are fluidically connected to the dirty air inlet.

A vacuum cleaner including a power head having a power head housing at least partially enclosing a power head volume therein, a blower assembly at least partially positioned within the power head volume, and a docking interface including a plurality of connection elements. Where each connection element of the plurality of connection elements is configured to form a releasable connection with an accessory.

In general, the present disclosure is directed to a hand-held surface cleaning device that includes a relatively compact form-factor to allow users to store the same in a nearby location (e.g., in a drawer, in an associated charging dock, on a table top) for easy access to perform relatively small cleaning tasks that would otherwise require retrieving a full-size vacuum from storage. A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.

A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus has a surface cleaning head, a support structure moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position and a portable cleaning unit removably mountable to the support structure. The support structure has a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion is rotationally mounted to the lower portion between a first configuration and a second configuration wherein, when the support structure is in the storage position and the support structure is in the first configuration, the upper portion extends upwardly from and lower portion and, when the support structure is in the storage position and the support structure is moved to the second configuration, the upper portion is rotated forwardly.
