A reconfigurable upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head and a support structure moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head. The support structure comprises a lower portion having a lower longitudinal axis and an upper portion having an upper longitudinal axis, the lower portion having a lower end moveably coupled to the surface cleaning head and an upper end that is rotatably coupled to the upper portion about a rotational axis that is generally transverse to the forward direction, wherein, the support structure is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the lower portion and the upper portion are generally aligned with each other and an operating position in which the lower portion is rotated rearward with respect to the surface cleaning head and the upper portion is rotated in the forward direction with respect to the lower portion. A hand vacuum cleaner comprising a suction motor and an air treatment member is removably mounted to the support structure. An air flow path comprises a flexible hose.

A vacuum cleaner includes a connection pipe, a cleaner body, a suction nozzle having a first suction port, a movable body, a first rotating body, and a second rotating body. The movable body is movably coupled to the connection pipe, and the first rotating body and the second rotating body are rotatably coupled to the movable body. According to the disclosed vacuum cleaner, in a state in which the connection pipe is separated from the suction nozzle, the first rotating body and the second rotating body may form a second suction port, and may form a nozzle other than the suction nozzle.
