A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus has a surface cleaning head, a support structure moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position and a portable cleaning unit removably mountable to the support structure. The support structure has a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion is rotationally mounted to the lower portion between a first configuration and a second configuration wherein, when the support structure is in the storage position and the support structure is in the first configuration, the upper portion extends upwardly from and lower portion and, when the support structure is in the storage position and the support structure is moved to the second configuration, the upper portion is rotated forwardly.

A vacuum that couples to storage units is provided. The vacuum includes a motor, an internal compartment, and an inlet and outlet that provide fluid communication between the internal compartment and an exterior of the vacuum. The vacuum includes one or more mechanisms to protect internal components from water damage and to prevent debris from escaping the internal compartment when the vacuum is being transported.
