A brushroll for a vacuum cleaner includes a brush dowel having a plurality of bristles and a drive motor within the brush dowel for rotating the brush dowel in a first direction of rotation, wherein an armature and motor shaft of the drive motor counter-rotates in a second direction of rotation.

A cleaner holder includes a first body having a charging terminal to charge a cleaner; a second body connected to the first body, configured to support the cleaner and having an accommodation space in which a battery is accommodated; and a locking part rotatably connected to the first body and configured to fix the cleaner, wherein when force having predetermined magnitude is applied to the locking part in one direction, the locking part is rotated in a first direction to be coupled to the cleaner, so that the cleaner is fixed, and wherein when force having predetermined magnitude is applied to the locking part in the other direction, the locking part is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction to be uncoupled from the clean.

A cleaner holder includes a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner, a second body protruding from the first body to support the cleaner, and a battery accommodating space recessed in one surface of the second body and configured to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner. A second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the second body.

A cleaner holder includes a charging stand body that includes a charging terminal configured to charge a battery of a cleaner, a base configured to rest on a floor, a support that connects the charging stand body to the base, and a wall surface fixing part that is configured to be interposed between a rear surface of the charging stand body and a wall surface and to fix the charging stand body to the wall surface.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a floor cleaning unit and a portable surface cleaning unit. The floor cleaning unit includes a surface cleaning head and an upper section moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between an upright storage position and a rearwardly inclined floor cleaning position. The portable surface cleaning unit is connectable to the floor cleaning unit, and includes a portable surface cleaning unit air inlet connectable in air flow communication with the floor cleaning unit, a main body, an air treatment member, a suction motor, a handle and a capacitor. A remote charger is provided wherein the capacitor is rechargeable at a rate of at least 4 C.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a surface cleaning head, a rigid air flow conduit and a hand vacuum cleaner removably mountable to an outlet end of the rigid wand. The hand vacuum cleaner comprises a main body, a cyclone provided at the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner, an inlet passage positioned at an upper end of the cyclone and a hand vacuum cleaner electrical connector provided on the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner adjacent the inlet passage. The hand vacuum cleaner electrical connector is releasably connectable with the outlet end electrical connector of the rigid wand. When the hand vacuum cleaner is mounted to the outlet end of the rigid wand, the longitudinally extending passage axis extends in a same direction as the cyclone axis of rotation and the suction motor axis of rotation extends in the same direction as the cyclone axis of rotation.

A surface cleaning apparatus including an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet, a main body comprising a handle, a suction motor and fan assembly that is positioned in the air flow path, and an air treatment member removably mounted to the main body. The air treatment member has an air treatment chamber that is positioned in the air flow path when the air treatment member is mounted to the main body and a cleaning tool electrical connector. When a cleaning tool is connected to the air treatment member, the cleaning tool is connected in air flow communication with the air treatment member and the cleaning tool is electrically connected to the air treatment member.

A brush bar including a central core in the form of a rigid tube, a plurality of outwardly extending bristles in the form of at least one bristle strip, and a sealing material extending over substantially the entire remaining circumferential and axial extent of the brush bar, the at least one bristle strip having a root portion which is sandwiched between the sealing material and the central core or which is attached on top of the sealing material.

A brush bar including a central core in the form of a rigid tube, a plurality of outwardly extending bristles in the form of at least one bristle strip, and a sealing material extending over substantially the entire remaining circumferential and axial extent of the brush bar, the at least one bristle strip having a root portion which is sandwiched between the sealing material and the central core or which is attached on top of the sealing material.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a main body housing a suction motor; an air treatment member having a front end and a rear end with a central longitudinal axis extending between the front and rear ends; and a handle. A portion of the suction motor extends downwardly into an interior volume of the handle and/or upwardly into a volume defined by the post-motor filter.
