A surface cleaning apparatus includes a cyclone bin assembly that includes a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber. A first end of the cyclone bin assembly includes at least a portion of the cyclone chamber and at least a portion of the dirt collection chamber and at least a portion of a sidewall separating the dirt collection chamber and the cyclone chamber. The first end of the cyclone bin assembly is rotationally mounted between a closed position and an open position in which an end of the cyclone chamber and an end of the dirt collection chamber are opened.

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 surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air treatment member having an air treatment chamber. A moveable member is positioned in the air treatment chamber. A driving assembly is drivingly connected to the moveable member wherein an end wall of the air treatment chamber is openable in response to the moveable member being longitudinally translated through at least the portion of the air treatment chamber.

The present disclosure provides a floor cleaner that includes a replaceable component, such as a brushroll or a filter. The floor cleaner has a detection mechanism comprising a magnet on the replaceable component and a Hall Effect sensor positioned to detect the permanent magnet when the replaceable component is correctly installed on the floor cleaner. Operation of one or more electrically-powered components of the floor cleaner is prevented when the permanent magnet is not detected by the Hall Effect sensor.

A vacuum cleaner includes a cyclone separator, a collection chamber below the cyclone separator, a pre-motor filter downstream from the cyclone separator, and an openable cover above the pre-motor filter. The cover provides access to an upstream surface of the pre-motor filter when open, and forms an outer surface of the vacuum cleaner that is angled forwardly at an incline.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head, an upright section moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head, and a portable cleaning unit removably mounted to the upright section and comprising an energy storage member and a portable cleaning unit suction motor. The energy storage member provides the portable cleaning unit suction motor with power at least when the portable cleaning unit is switched on and when the portable cleaning unit is removed from the upright section.

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.

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 cleaner includes: a suction motor that generates a suction force; and an operation unit that is configured to input control instruction for the suction motor. The operation unit includes: a support frame; a first push part that is rotatably seated on the support frame and allows an instruction to turn on or off the suction motor to be input when being rotated in a first direction; and a second push part that allows the intensity of the suction force of the suction motor to be adjusted when being rotated in a second direction.

A vacuum cleaner comprising a housing, a suction source, a dirt collection chamber in fluid communication with the suction source, a battery to provide power to the suction source, and a plug assembly having a body and an electrical connector in electrical communication with the battery via a cord. The plug assembly is configured to receive power from an AC power source to charge the battery. The plug assembly is moveable between a first position, in which the plug assembly is outside the housing and a second position in which the plug assembly is received in the housing. When the plug assembly is in the second position, the body of the plug assembly forms an outer surface of the housing.
