A reconfigurable upright vacuum cleaner has a surface cleaning head with a pedestal member pivotally mounted thereto. An upper portion, which comprises a portable surface cleaning unit removably mounted thereto, is mounted to the pedestal member. An above floor cleaning wand is removably mounted to the pedestal member. The portable surface cleaning unit is securable to the pedestal member by a portable surface cleaning unit lock.

A handle removably connectable to an appliance includes a battery pack. A vacuum cleaner which uses the handle and an air cooled battery charger is also provided.

A surface cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface including: a housing supporting: a suction source; a dirt separation device for separating dirt from dirt-laden air; a dirt separation device including a dirt collection chamber for receiving dirt from the dirt separation device, wherein the dirt collection chamber has an elongate axis (A); a user graspable handle having an elongate axis (C), a passage member for transporting dirt-laden air to the dirt separation device, the passage member having an elongate axis (B); a coupling device moveable between a first position in which detachment of the body from the housing is inhibited and a second position in which detachment of the body is permitted; an actuator member for effecting movement of the coupling device between its first and second positions, wherein the elongate axis (B) of the passage member and the elongate axis (C) of the user graspable handle lie in a plane (P1), and the elongate axis (A) of the dirt collection chamber intersects the plane (P1).

A portable surface cleaning apparatus has a main body, an air treatment member and a handle wherein the dirty air inlet is provided in the front face at a location below the horizontal plane, and wherein the handle overlies a portion of the cyclone chamber and the suction motor.

A cyclone assembly for a surface cleaning apparatus has a first cyclonic cleaning stage and a second cyclonic cleaning stage downstream from the first cyclonic cleaning stage. The second cyclonic cleaning stage has more air inlets than the first cyclonic cleaning stage. The second cyclonic cleaning stage has a second stage air inlet cross-sectional area in a direction transverse to a direction of air flow entering the second stage cyclone chamber that is 1.1-2 times larger than a first stage air inlet cross-sectional area in a direction transverse to a direction of air flow entering the first stage cyclone chamber.

A surface cleaning apparatus provides a lower profile surface cleaning head by moving at least the suction motor out of the surface cleaning head. The suction motor may be located in an upper portion (e.g., in a wand) pivotably coupled to the surface cleaning head and fluidly connected to a cyclone assembly located in the surface cleaning head. The cyclone assembly may include first and second opposing cyclones with smaller diameters (e.g., as compared to a single cyclone used in existing all in the head vacuums) to provide a lower profile with substantially the same or better performance

A debris receptacle for a router table includes an enclosure configured to be attached to the router table. The enclosure defines an interior sized and shaped to receive a router. The enclosure defines a debris inlet aperture in fluid communication with a router bit aperture of the work platform so that the interior receives the debris from router bit aperture via the debris inlet aperture. The enclosure also defines a debris outlet aperture in fluid communication with a dust collector to remove debris from the interior. The enclosure further defines an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with air in an environment outside the enclosure. The debris receptacle also includes an air intake conduit for fluidly coupling the air inlet aperture to an air inlet of the router, thereby enabling the router to draw air into the router from the environment outside the enclosure to cool the router.

A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a cyclone unit comprising a first cyclonic stage and a second cyclonic stage. The first cyclonic stage has a first stage cyclone with a cyclone axis of rotation that extends between the front and rear ends of the cyclone. The cyclone axis of rotation extends through a central portion of the second cyclonic stage. The nozzle has a nozzle axis that extends through a central portion of the first stage cyclone between the front and rear ends of the cyclone.

A dust collecting apparatus is provided. The dust collecting apparatus according to an embodiment includes a dust collecting case including a dust outlet to discharge collected dust, a cyclone member configured to rotate and move linearly in the dust collecting case to be detachable from and attachable to the dust collecting case, a discharge cover configured to rotate and move linearly together with the cyclone member, and detachable from and attachable to an upper part of the dust collecting case to open and close the dust outlet, and a sealing member having elasticity disposed between the dust collecting case and the discharge cover. The discharge cover rotates along a horizontal direction of the dust collecting case to detach from the upper part of the dust collecting case and form a space between the sealing member and the dust collecting case.

The present disclosure relates to a dust cup assembly and a handheld cleaner having the same, the dust cup assembly includes a casing having a central chamber, a dedusting chamber and a dust collecting chamber, wherein the central chamber is configured to have an upright columnar shape and comprises an air exhaust chamber and a mounting chamber in communication with each other in an up-and-down direction, the dedusting chamber is configured to have a closed annular cross section and surrounds the air exhaust chamber by one circle, the dust collecting chamber is located below the dedusting chamber, has a non-closed annular cross section and surrounds the mounting chamber by less than a circle; a negative pressure device, in which wherein at least a majority of the negative pressure device is provided in the mounting chamber and used to suck airflow from the environment into the casing; and a dedusting device provided in the dedusting chamber to remove dust from the sucked airflow.
