The cleaning unit comprises an air treatment member assembly comprising an air treatment member and a suction motor. The telescoping push handle comprises upper and lower telescoping longitudinally extending members which are reconfigurable between a retracted position and a first extended position, the lower telescoping longitudinally extending member having a first pivot joint wherein the first pivot joint is non-rotationally locked when the push handle is in the retracted position and the upper telescoping longitudinally extending member is pivotal about the first pivot joint when the push handle is in the first extended position.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning and an upright section moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a generally upright position and a rearwardly inclined in use position. The upright section comprising a cleaning unit comprising a carry handle wherein the carry handle extends in a direction transverse to the central longitudinal axis of the surface cleaning head and wherein the carry handle has a hand grip portion that has a length in the transverse direction that is greater than a depth of the cleaning unit in a direction of the central longitudinal axis.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head, a cleaning unit moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a generally upright position and a rearwardly inclined in use position, a push handle and an above floor cleaning assembly. The cleaning unit comprises an air treatment member and the push handle is rotatably mounted with respect to the cleaning unit. The above floor cleaning assembly comprises a flexible conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein in a floor cleaning mode a first portion of the flexible conduit having the outlet end is located on the second lateral side of the air treatment member and a second transverse portion of the flexible conduit extends from the second lateral side of the air treatment member over the upper end of the air treatment member to the first lateral side of the air treatment member wherein the second transverse portion is vertically spaced from the rotational joint.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head a cleaning unit moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a generally upright position and a rearwardly inclined in use position, a push handle and an above floor cleaning assembly. The above floor cleaning assembly comprises a flexible conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein in a floor cleaning mode the above floor cleaning assembly is positioned between a front transverse plane that extends transverse to the central longitudinal axis of the surface cleaning head and is located at the front side of the cleaning unit and a rear transverse plane that extends transverse to the central longitudinal axis and is located at the rear side of the cleaning unit.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus may have a surface cleaning head with a central longitudinal axis extending between its front and rear ends. An upright section may be mounted to the surface cleaning head and may be moveable between a generally upright position and a rearwardly inclined in use position. The upright section may include an air treatment member assembly and a suction motor. The air treatment member assembly may include an air treatment member and a dirt collection region that is positioned laterally from the air treatment member. The suction motor may be positioned below at least one of the air treatment member and the dirt collection region. The first and second laterally opposed sides and one of the front side and the rear side of the air treatment member assembly may be generally rectangular in top plan view when the upright section is in the upright position.
