A vacuum cleaner is provided, which includes a main body; a dust collection unit arranged in the main body to collect dusts from air that flows into the main body along an intake passage; and a suction unit arranged at a downstream that is lower than a location of the dust collection unit on the intake passage to provide a suction force, wherein the suction unit includes a suction force generator, an exhaust passage configured to switch a discharge direction of the air that has passed through the suction force generator at least twice, and a plurality of sound-absorbing members arranged on the exhaust passage to pass the air therethrough.

A vacuum cleaner is provided, which includes a main body; a dust collection unit arranged in the main body to collect dusts from air that flows into the main body along an intake passage; and a suction unit arranged at a downstream that is lower than a location of the dust collection unit on the intake passage to provide a suction force, wherein the suction unit includes a suction force generator, an exhaust passage configured to switch a discharge direction of the air that has passed through the suction force generator at least twice, and a plurality of sound-absorbing members arranged on the exhaust passage to pass the air therethrough.

An upright vacuum cleaner (1) includes a brushroll assembly (100) having a brushroll casing (12) and a brushroll (11); a motor assembly (200) having a motor housing (21) and a motor (22); a body assembly (300) having a body (31) and a bridging member (32), in which the bridging member (32) is pivotally connected to the motor housing (21) to make the body (31) rotatable between an upright position and an oblique position; and an elastic assembly (4) provided between the brushroll casing (12) and the bridging member (32), and configured to be pressed downward against the brushroll casing (12) by the bridging member (32) when the body (31) rotates from the upright position to the oblique position.

A hand vacuum cleaner has first stage momentum separator and a second cyclonic cleaning stage that are openable concurrently.

A floor brush assembly for an upright vacuum cleaner (1) and an upright vacuum cleaner (1) with the same are disclosed. The floor brush includes a brushroll (11); a motor (22) driving the brushroll (11) to roll via a drive belt (13) that is winded upon a motor shaft (221) of the motor (22) and a central part of the brushroll (11); and a brushroll casing (12) provided outside the brushroll (11), having a dust suction port and defining a brushroll air-suction channel (122) and a drive-belt mounting chamber (123) for mounting the drive belt, in which the brushroll air-suction channel (122) comprises a first air-suction channel (1221) and a second air-suction channel (1222) located at both sides of the drive-belt mounting chamber (123).

A vacuum cleaner including a debris collection container having an outer perimeter and a lid removably coupled to the debris collection container. The lid has a periphery that extends along the outer perimeter of the debris collection container. The vacuum further includes a suction source coupled to the lid and removable from the debris collection container with the lid. The suction source includes a motor and an impeller driven by the motor. The vacuum cleaner further includes an exhaust passageway downstream from the suction source for discharging an airflow from the debris collection container. The exhaust passageway extends radially outward from the impeller and toward the periphery of the lid. The vacuum cleaner further includes an exhaust outlet port in communication with the exhaust passageway. The exhaust outlet port extends along a majority of the periphery of the lid.

The present disclosure relates to a dust cup assembly and a handheld cleaner having the same, the dust cup assembly includes a casing including a cup body with an open top, and a cleaner cover disposed at a top of the cup body and capable of being opened and closed; a negative pressure device provided in the cup body and used to suck airflow from an environment into the casing; and a dedusting device provided in the cup body, located above the negative pressure device and withdrawable from the top of the cup body when the cleaner cover is opened.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head, an upright section and a rotatable mount. The upright section is moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a generally upright position and a rearwardly inclined in use position, the upright section has an air treatment member assembly, a push handle and a suction motor housing. The push handle has a longitudinally extending drive axis that extends through the air treatment member assembly and the suction motor housing. The rotatable mount rotatably mounts the upright section with respect to the surface cleaning head about an upright section axis wherein the rotatable mount underlies the upright section when the upright section is in the generally upright position.
