A surface cleaning apparatus such as a vacuum cleaner includes a suction source, a recovery container, and a base assembly with at least one agitator within an agitator chamber. The recovery container can be coupled to a separator assembly configured to remove dirt and debris from working fluid through the vacuum cleaner. In addition, a brake assembly can be provided on an upper portion of the base assembly and be configured to engage at least one wheel of the base assembly.

A hand vacuum cleaner is provided with a first cyclonic cleaning stage, a pre-motor filter and a fluid flow motor. The first cyclonic stage has a bottom end, an upper end spaced longitudinally from the bottom end along a first stage axis, an air inlet and an air outlet, the first cyclonic cleaning stage comprising a first cyclone chamber and a first dirt collection region, the first dirt collection region having an end wall at the bottom end that is openable to empty the first dirt collection region. The pre-motor filter is positioned downstream from the first cyclonic cleaning stage and spaced from the openable end wall of the first dirt collection region in a direction of the first stage axis. The fluid flow motor is downstream from the pre-motor filter. The pre-motor filter is removable in the direction of the central longitudinal axis through an opening in an upper end of the hand vacuum cleaner.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone assembly that comprises a cyclone and a dirt collection chamber exterior to the cyclone. The cyclone has a cyclone axis of rotation and the cyclone assembly has first and second opposed ends with sides extending between the first and second ends. The cyclone axis of rotation extends axially through the first and second ends and one of the sides is openable.

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 hand vacuum cleaner has an air treatment member chamber positioned in the air flow path downstream of a dirty air inlet, an on board energy storage member positioned in the air flow path downstream from the air treatment member chamber whereby air passing through the air flow path cools the on board energy storage member, and a suction motor positioned in the air flow path downstream of the on board energy storage member and upstream of the clean air outlet. The air treatment member, onboard energy storage member, and suction motor can be arranged linearly with the longitudinal axis of the air treatment member extending through both the onboard energy storage member and the suction motor.

A cleaner is disclosed. The cleaner includes: a housing having an introduction opening through which air is introduced; a filtering unit configured to be mounted in an inner space of the housing, and defining a dust collection space between the filtering unit and an inner surface of the housing; and a cleaning unit configured to surround the filtering unit, and configured to be raised and lowered inside the dust collection space along with a manipulation unit, wherein, when the cleaning unit is in an initial position, at least a portion of the cleaning unit is connected to an air introduction path extending from the introduction opening to form a guide flow path to guide a flow of introduced air.

The present invention discloses a portable vacuum cleaner having a rotatable vacuum assembly. The vacuum cleaner comprises a nozzle assembly including a nozzle cavity, a canister assembly pivotally connected to the nozzle assembly, a dust bag mounted to the canister assembly, a dirty air pathway providing fluid communication between the nozzle cavity and the dust bag and a suction generator for generating a vacuum that draws dirt and debris from the nozzle cavity to the dust bag. The nozzle assembly having a nozzle mount rotatably coupled to the canister assembly to spin about a rotation axis and an angled nozzle rigidly extending from the nozzle mount at an acute angle to the rotation axis. The nozzle assembly is adapted to rotate and could move back and forth for effective collection of dirt and debris.

The electrical equipment dust collection system may comprise a cover panel, a vacuum port, a blow gun, a handle, and a light strip. The electrical equipment dust collection system may be a tool for removing dust from electrical equipment located inside of an equipment enclosure. The cover panel may be adapted to cover an open side of the equipment enclosure. An air hose fitting on the blow gun may be adapted to removably couple to a source of compressed air and the blow gun may direct a stream of air at the electrical equipment such that the dust is dislodged from the electrical equipment. A vacuum fitting on the vacuum port may be adapted to removably couple to a vacuum hose of a vacuum cleaner such that the vacuum cleaner may suction the dust out of the equipment enclosure.

A cleaner comprises a housing having a dust collection chamber formed in the housing and configured to open and close, a main body movable relative to the housing between a first position whereby the main body closes the dust collection chamber and a second position whereby the main body opens the dust collection chamber, and a motor filter mountable to and demountable from the main body, wherein the main body includes a fan motor unit to generate a suction force, and a shutter device mountable into the main body and configured to open and close a flow path between the motor filter and the fan motor unit.
