A vacuum cleaner or a docking station has momentum separator having first and second sidewalls which are porous. A first air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a first end wall, which is spaced from and faces the first side screen, and the first side screen. A second air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a second end wall, which is spaced from and faces the second side screen, and the second side screen. In operation, air exits the momentum separator through the first and second side screens and travels through the first and second air flow chambers to the air outlet of the first and second air flow chambers.

The present disclosure provides a cleaning system, comprising a cleaning robot and a processing station. The cleaning robot comprises a machine body, a trash discharging port and a sealing mechanism provided at the bottom of the machine body, and the sealing mechanism is configured to seal the trash discharging port. The processing station comprises a controller, an electromagnet, and a signal guiding component. The signal guiding component is configured to guide the cleaning robot to dock with the processing station, and the controller is configured to detect induction information on the processing station and control the electromagnet according to the induction information to generate a magnetic force to attract the sealing mechanism to open the trash discharging port.

An evacuation station for a surface cleaning apparatus comprises a stationary base portion and an removable portion comprising an air treatment assembly that is moveably mounted to the stationary base portion. A pre-motor filter is exposed when the removably portion is removed from the stationary portion.

A hand vacuum cleaner has an information display device provided on a rear wall of the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a dual first stage cyclones.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner system including: a cleaner; a cleaner station; and an imaginary plane including an imaginary suction flow path through line penetrating a suction flow path in a longitudinal direction and an imaginary suction motor axis defined by extending a rotation axis of a suction motor, in which when the cleaner is coupled to the cleaner station, the plane penetrates at least a part of the cleaner station, such that a center of gravity of the cleaner is disposed to pass through a space for maintaining balance of the station, and as a result, it is possible to stably support the cleaner and the station while preventing the cleaner and the station from falling down.

An operating method of a station device for discharging dust from a cordless vacuum cleaner includes detecting occurrence of an event requesting discharging dust from a dustbin included in the cordless vacuum cleaner to the station device, and performing a dust discharge operation for discharging dust in the dustbin to a collector of the station device based on detecting of the occurrence of the event. The performing a dust discharge operation includes transmitting, to the cordless vacuum cleaner via short-range wireless communication, a control signal for operating a first suction motor of the cordless vacuum cleaner, and operating a second suction motor of the station device in cooperation with the first suction motor.

A hand vacuum cleaner has an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet. An air treatment member and suction motor are positioned in the air flow path. The air treatment member is provided at the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner and has an air outlet provided at the rear end of the air treatment member. A pre-motor filter housing is positioned rearward of the air outlet of the air treatment member. A hand vacuum axis extends between the front end and the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner. When the hand vacuum axis is horizontal, a portion of the air treatment member underlies the pre-motor filter housing. A pistol grip handle has an upper end that is positioned below the portion air treatment member that underlies the pre-motor filter housing.
