A cleaning appliance includes: a main body with a bottom side, the main body being assigned on the bottom side, which faces toward a floor to be cleaned, at least one cleaning body, the at least one cleaning body being mounted on the main body so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of the cleaning body being oriented perpendicularly to the bottom side. The at least one cleaning body is mounted in the main body such that, during cleaning, the axis of rotation is movable relative to the bottom side along a movement path which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

A surface treatment robot includes a chassis having forward and rear ends and a drive system carried by the chassis. The drive system includes right and left driven wheels and is configured to maneuver the robot over a cleaning surface. The robot includes a vacuum assembly, a collection volume, a supply volume, an applicator, and a wetting element, each carried by the chassis. The wetting element engages the cleaning surface to distribute a cleaning liquid applied to the surface by the applicator. The wetting element distributes the cleaning liquid along at least a portion of the cleaning surface when the robot is driven in a forward direction. The wetting element is arranged substantially forward of a transverse axis defined by the right and left driven wheels, and the wetting element slidably supports at least about ten percent of the mass of the robot above the cleaning surface.

A robot cleaner includes a main body, a moving unit for moving the main body, a cleaning module capable of being brought into contact with a floor surface at at least part of a lower surface thereof, and a module drive unit for controlling an angle of inclination of the lower surface of the cleaning module with respect to the floor surface.

A floor cleaning apparatus comprising a housing, a motorized agitation system, and at least one removable pad alignment jig. The motorized agitation system comprising a plurality of rotatable pad holders provided on the housing, a plurality of cleaning pads, and at least one drive motor operably coupled with the plurality of rotatable pad holders. One of plurality of cleaning pads being provided on each of the plurality of rotatable pad holders for rotation thereof.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle body having a suction passage in which air flows. A water tank is detachably mounted on the nozzle body, and a rotation cleaning part is rotatably supported at a lower side of the nozzle body to receive water from the water tank for cleaning a floor. The water tank includes an outlet through which water is discharged, a valve configured to open and close the outlet, and an air hole configured to introduce outside air into the water tank. An air hole operation part is movably installed on the water tank to open and close the air hole.
