A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone bin assembly having a cyclone chamber. The cyclone chamber with a physical filtration member defining the cyclone air outlet. The physical filtration member has an outer wall wherein at least a portion of the outer wall is porous and a plurality of ribs spaced around the outer wall. The ribs have a radial outer side that is positioned radially outwardly of the outer wall

A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a main body has a driving handle and houses a suction motor and fan assembly, the suction motor and fan assembly having a suction motor axis of rotation wherein the driving handle has a hand grip portion that extends upwardly and forwardly when the hand vacuum cleaner is oriented with the upper end above the lower end. An air treatment member has a dirt collection region having an openable door provided on a front end of the air treatment member.

A cyclone unit capable of enhancing dust collection performance. A cyclone unit includes a cyclone unit body, a dust box and a core tube. The cyclone unit body includes a lower base, an upper base and a middle base sandwiched between the lower base and the upper base. The dust box is assembled to the cyclone unit body so as to collect dust and dirt. The core tube, having a meshed shape, is assembled to the middle base so as to be located inside the dust box. The core tube is detachable from the middle base while the upper base is assembled to the lower base.

The cleaner includes a suction inlet configured to guide air and dusts, a main body including a first cyclone unit configured to separate the air and the dusts, which are suctioned through the suction inlet, from each other, and a dust separation module separably connected to the main body and including a second cyclone unit configured to separate the dusts from the air discharged from the first cyclone unit.

A cleaner includes a suction unit, a main body including a cyclone unit for separating dust from air suctioned through the suction unit, and a dust container that stores dust separated in the cyclone unit below the cyclone unit. A filter unit is disposed inside the cyclone unit for filtering the air, and a movable unit disposed inside the cyclone unit includes a cleaning part for cleaning the outer circumference of the filter unit. An operation unit disposed outside the main body moves the movable unit and the cleaning part to remove dust from the outer surface of the filter unit.

A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a body which houses a suction motor. Batteries are provided at the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner and under the handle. An enclosed finger grip area is positioned forward of the hand grip portion of the handle and rearward of cyclone unit wherein a line extending in a common direction as the cyclone axis of rotation extends through the cyclone unit, the finger grip area and the hand grip portion.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus has a surface cleaning head and an upper section moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position. The upper section comprises a bendable wand and a portable surface cleaning unit. The wand comprises an upper wand portion and a lower wand portion that are hollow and form part of the air flow path. The upper wand portion is rotationally mounted to the lower wand portion between a first configuration and a second configuration wherein, when the upper section is in the storage position and the upper section is in the first configuration, the upper wand portion extends upwardly from the lower wand portion and, when the upper section is in the storage position and the support structure is moved to the second configuration, the upper wand portion is rotated forwardly with respect to the lower portion.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a filter assembly comprising a plurality of removable assembly portions. Each of the assembly portions comprises a portion of a pre- and/or post-motor filter media.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a cyclone having a cyclone axis of rotation that extends between the front and rear ends of the cyclone. A main body houses a suction motor. The suction motor is positioned at a lower end of the main body and forward of a battery pack provided at a lower end of a pistol grip handle.
