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.

Disclosed are a dirt suction guide device and a cleaner comprising the same. The disclosed cleaner comprises: a cleaner body for generating a suction force; a flexible hose connected to the cleaner body; an extension tube connected to the flexible hose; and a dirt suction guide device separately coupled to the extension tube, wherein the dirt suction guide device comprises a body, a movable portion, which is connected to one side of the body, and which is coupled to be able to slide with regard to the body, and a connecting portion, which is connected to the other side of the body, and which connects the body to the extension tube, and the body is hinge-coupled such that the same can selectively maintain and change an angle with regard to the extension tube.

An improved cleaning head for a vacuum assembly. The cleaning head has a body with a bottom surface. Within the cleaning head is at least one suction channel that leads into a vacuum cleaner. A first rotating brush is mounted to the body of the cleaning head in front of a suction channel. A towelette support is mounted within the body adjacent the first rotating brush. The towelette support is configured to receive a disposable towelette. A second rotating brush may also be provided, wherein the towelette support would be interposed between the first and second rotating brushes. A mechanism is provided for selectively moving the towelette support within the body between an extended position and a retracted position.

A cleaning device, for cleaning a surface, includes a nozzle arrangement. The nozzle arrangement includes a brush compartment surrounded by a brush. The brush includes brush elements including tip portions for contacting the surface to be cleaned and picking up dirt particles and/or liquid from the surface during rotation of the brush. The nozzle arrangement further includes a bouncing element with position adjusted relative to the surface and depending on a direction of movement of the cleaning device. The bouncing element is arranged in a first position and at a first distance d1 to the surface, when the cleaning device is moved in a forward direction and in a second position and at a second distance d2 to the surface, when the cleaning device is moved in an opposite backward direction, such that d2 is greater than d1.

A vacuum cleaner includes a hand-held device and the hand-held device has a housing defining an air inlet and an air blowing port at a front end thereof, the air blowing port being disposed adjacent to the air inlet; a dust cup disposed in the housing and connected to the air inlet; and an electric motor defining a motor chamber in communication with the dust cup, in which an airflow entering through the air inlet flows out of the air blowing port after flowing through the dust cup and the electric motor.

A hand-held vacuum cleaner (100) is provided, including a dust cup (2), the dust cup includes a first cyclone, a cyclone assembly, and a filtration member. The cyclone assembly includes a plurality of second cyclones (22), a guiding channel (23) is defined between two of the plurality of the second cyclones (22), the guiding channel (23) is in communication with the first air vent and an airflow is guided to an outer circumference of the cyclone assembly by the guiding channel (23) along a tangent line to a circumferential wall of the second cyclone (22) adjacent to the guiding channel (23), each second cyclone (22) has an air inducing notch (222), each second cyclone (22) is provided with an air guiding pipe (221), the filtration member is disposed along the outer circumference of the cyclone assembly, and the airflow in the outer circumference of the cyclone assembly tangentially enters the second cyclone (22) through the filtration member and the air inducing notch (222).

A robot cleaner includes a main body, a moving unit for moving the main body, a cleaning module capable of being brought into contact with a floor surface at at least part of a lower surface thereof, and a module drive unit for controlling an angle of inclination of the lower surface of the cleaning module with respect to the floor surface.

Vacuum cleaner head (100) comprising a bottom sole (10) and wheels (30, 35) defining the ground clearance of the bottom sole and comprising at least one suction duct (20) open toward the ground and converging from an outer edge of the bottom sole (10) toward a suction orifice (15) connected to the vacuum cleaner, characterized in that the suction head comprises a sealing skirt (40) arranged around the periphery of the bottom sole (10), and in that the sealing skirt (40) has at least one opening (45) positioned opposite said at least one suction duct (20).

A vacuum system for vacuuming is disclosed. The vacuum system includes a baseboard cleaning attachment, a floor cleaning attachment, and a hose attachment. Each of the attachments is selectively mounted to a hose of the vacuum system for vacuuming floors, baseboards and tight spaces. The baseboard cleaning attachment includes a brush head having a right-angled portion, and a curved portion. The brush head includes a neck to mount the brush head to the hose. The right-angled portion is aligned with the baseboard and is used to vacuum. The floor cleaning attachment includes an elongated tube, and an under furniture handle mounted to the elongated tube. The elongated tube includes a beater head with a beater. The elongated tube is mounted to the hose, and the under furniture handle is used vacuum under furniture. The hose attachment is in an S-shape for tight spaces.

An ergonomic vacuum-assist scraper tool has an arcuately curved head in which a scraper blade is mounted at either of a front position or a rear position, a handle or grip portion, and a tubular connector portion adapted to receive a male or female vacuum hose fitting. The head has a cavity defined between front and back walls, with the front and back walls converging along an arc to a mouth or slot opening. The grip portion is hollow and tubular, extending proximally from the head, to the vacuum hose-accepting tubular connector. A scraper blade can be removably mounted at either of the blade mounting positions. The tool is formed of upper and lower halves that snap together along a partition line.
