A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a vacuum cleaner body, which houses a suction motor and fan assembly, and a cyclone unit comprising a cyclone. When the hand vacuum cleaner is positioned with the upper end above the bottom, the cyclone axis of rotation is generally horizontal and extends between the front and rear ends of the cyclone. A handle is provided on a sidewall of a rear portion of the vacuum cleaner body and a handle axis extends through the hand grip portion of the handle from the first end of the hand grip portion to the second end of the hand grip portion and the handle axis intersects the suction motor axis of rotation.

A mobile free standing air treatment unit comprises an air treatment unit, a first docking unit for a first vacuum cleaner comprising a first dirty air inlet in flow communication with an outlet port of the first vacuum cleaner and a first clean air outlet in flow communication with an inlet port of the first vacuum cleaner and a vacuuming unit, wherein the mobile free standing air treatment unit is operable in a docking mode using a first air flow path and a cleaning mode using a second air flow path.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a surface cleaning head having a dirty air inlet and an upper section mount and an upper portion moveably mounted to the upper section. The upper portion includes a wand. A portable surface cleaning unit is removably mounted to the upper portion. An air flow path extends from the dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and includes an upstream portion comprising the wand and a flexible air flow conduit downstream of the wand. Each of the wand and the portable cleaning unit can be separately removable from the upper section mount.

A stick surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone unit provided in the wand.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a hand vacuum cleaner removably connectable to a rigid wand wherein the rigid wand is mounted a surface cleaning head. An accessory tool mount is removably mountable on the rigid wand and at least one accessory tool is removably mounted to the accessory tool mount.

A surface cleaning apparatus having a suction hose and a hose storage chamber. The suction hose is adjustable between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration and the suction hose is biased to the extended configuration by a biasing member.

A cleaner includes: a suction unit that guides air and dust; a main body connected with the suction unit and including a dust separation unit that separates dust from air, and a dust container that stores dust separated by the dust separation unit, at least a portion of the dust container being transparent or translucent; a handle unit connected to the main body and has a battery; a power receiving component disposed in the main body to be supplied with power from the battery; wires that are connected to the power receiver; and a cover member coupled to the main body and disposed between the main body and the wires to prevent the wires from being seen from the outside of the dust container.

A cleaning apparatus includes a dust collector detachably installed at a cleaning stick. The dust collector includes a cyclone unit to generate a cyclone stream and a dust collecting unit to collect foreign matter. In this structure, a dust collecting efficiency of the dust collector may be increased, and a load of a cleaning apparatus body may be reduced.

A cleaner includes: a suction unit that guides air and dust; a main body connected with the suction unit and including a dust separation unit that separates dust from air, and a dust container that stores dust separated by the dust separation unit, at least a portion of the dust container being transparent or translucent; a handle unit connected to the main body and has a battery; a power receiving component disposed in the main body to be supplied with power from the battery; wires that are connected to the power receiver; and a cover member coupled to the main body and disposed between the main body and the wires to prevent the wires from being seen from the outside of the dust container.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a wheel unit and a controller controlling driving of the wheel unit; a suction unit disposed to protrude from the cleaner body, the suction unit sucking air containing dust; and a sensing unit disposed at the front of the cleaner body in which the suction unit is disposed, wherein at least one portion of the sensing unit is disposed to overlap with the suction unit in the top-bottom direction of the cleaner body.
