A vacuum cleaner including an airflow passage that extends from a suction inlet to an air outlet, a dirt separator, a suction source operable to generate a suction airflow that travels through the suction inlet, through the dirt separator, and through the air outlet. The vacuum further includes a battery that supplies power to the suction source to generate the suction airflow and a portion of the airflow passage is defined by the battery.

A cyclonic separating device includes first and second cyclonic separating units. The first cyclonic separating unit is fitted over the second cyclonic separating unit. The second cyclonic separating unit includes first cyclones and second cyclones respectively arranged in a ring shape. Dust falling ends of the first cyclones define an accommodation space therebetween. The second cyclones partially extend into the accommodation space. Each first cyclone comprises first, second and third cone sections, each of which has a cone structure; airflow sucked in the first cyclones is sequentially separated by the first, second and third cone sections, and dust in the airflow is discharged from the third cone section; a central axis of the first cone section is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the dust cup; and an angle between a central axis of the second cone section and a central axis of the third cone section is 5°-20°.

A brushroll for a surface cleaning apparatus includes a brush dowel defining a central rotational axis which extends longitudinally through the brush dowel. The brush dowel includes bristle supports, sweeper supports, and a shroud surface extending between the bristle supports and the sweeper supports. A plurality of bristles protrude from the bristle supports.

A portable surface cleaning apparatus has a main body and air treatment member assembly is removably mounted to the main body. The air treatment member assembly air outlet and/or the suction motor inlet end is provided at the lower end of the air treatment member assembly when the surface cleaning apparatus is located on a floor and a pre-motor filter underlies the air treatment member assembly and/or the suction motor.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet with an air treatment member positioned in the air flow path. The air treatment member comprises a dirt collection region which has an openable door. A pre-motor filter is positioned downstream of the chamber and upstream of the suction motor and a suction motor is provided in the air flow path downstream of the chamber. The air flow path comprises a downstream portion extending from the pre-motor filter to the suction motor, and, during an emptying mode of operation, the openable door is opened and the downstream portion of the air flow path is closed.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air treatment chamber having a first end, an axially opposed second end, an axis extending between the first and second axially opposed ends and an axially extending air treatment chamber sidewall. The air treatment chamber air outlet is provided at the second opposed end and the first opposed end is moveably mounted between a closed position and an open position in which the air treatment chamber is open. The air treatment chamber has a stationary portion and an openable portion and the openable portion is moveably mounted between a closed position and an open position in which the air treatment chamber is open. When the openable portion is in the closed position, the openable portion and the stationery portion abut along peripheral edges that extend along a length of the air treatment chamber sidewall.

A hand vacuum cleaner has an air treatment member positioned in the air flow path downstream of a dirty air inlet. A motor and fan assembly produces an air flow through the air flow path. A handle is moveable between a first use position and a second use position.
