A hand vacuum cleaner has a cyclonic stage comprising an openable front wall provided at the front end of the cyclonic stage. A pre-motor filter is positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the cyclone air outlet and rearward of the cyclone sidewall. The pre-motor filter has a diameter in a direction transverse to the cyclone axis that is larger than a diameter of the cyclone air outlet in the direction transverse to the cyclone axis. The pre-motor filter has an outer perimeter defining a volume and the cyclone axis and the motor axis each extend through a centre of the volume. The cyclone axis is generally parallel to the motor axis. When the openable front wall is opened, the front end of the cyclone stage is opened and has an opening, the opening has a diameter in the direction transverse to the cyclone axis, and the rear end of the cyclonic stage has a diameter that is generally equal to the diameter of the opening. The cyclonic stage is removable from a cleaner body which houses the suction motor with the openable front wall in a closed position. When the first cyclonic stage is removed, the pre-motor filter is accessible for removal.

A surface cleaning apparatus having a housing, a suction nozzle, a suction source, a steam port, a steam supply system, and a flexible seal. The housing having a cleaning foot and an upper housing operably coupled to the cleaning foot. The suction source being fluidly connected to the suction nozzle by a working air conduit. The steam port having an aperture provided in the cleaning foot. The steam supply system having a steam nozzle with at least a portion that projects through the steam port. The flexible seal being provided at least around the steam nozzle.

A handy-stick type vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The disclosed vacuum cleaner comprises: a first part for collecting dust included in air suctioned to the inside through a suction hole; and a second part including a suction motor and a handle, wherein the first and second parts are hinge-connected so as to communicate with each other.

The present disclosure includes a first housing configured in a cylindrical shape, an inlet port provided to the first housing to suck air therein, an inlet pipe communicating with the inlet port and extending to a front side of the housing with a length-directional axis positioned side by side with a ground surface, a cyclone forming part provided to separate dust from air flowing into the first housing, a second housing communicating with the first housing and coupled to a rear side of the first housing, a fan provided with the second housing to provide a suction force to enable air to be sucked into the first housing through the inlet port, a battery provided to supply power to the fan, and a handle part including a handle base coupled to a top side of the first housing and a handle body connected to the handle base.

A wearable vacuum cleaner includes a harness configured to support the wearable vacuum cleaner on a user's back, a housing connected to the harness, a suction motor assembly disposed within the housing and operable to create a working airflow, and a collection bin configured to receive debris separated from the working airflow. The collection bin includes an opening adjacent a bottom portion of the collection bin and a lid moveably coupled to the collection bin to selectively cover the opening in a closed position and uncover the opening in an open position. The lid is movable to the open position to empty the contents of the collection bin through the opening while the collection bin remains attached to the housing.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber exterior to the cyclone chamber. The cyclone chamber has a sidewall extending from a first end to an axially opposed second end. A dirt outlet communicating with the dirt collection chamber is provided in the sidewall at a location intermediate the first and second ends of the cyclone chamber.

The present disclosure discloses a hand-push leaf suction machine with an automatic outage function for toppling which includes a housing provided with an air duct, a fan fixedly arranged in the housing, a dust collecting box, ground wheels arranged on two sides of the housing and supported on ground, auxiliary wheels arranged on two sides of the housing and supported on the ground, and a push handle arranged at a rear end of the housing.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as a vacuum cleaner includes a suction source, a recovery container, and a base assembly with at least one agitator within an agitator chamber. The recovery container can be coupled to a separator assembly configured to remove dirt and debris from working fluid through the vacuum cleaner. In addition, a brake assembly can be provided on the base assembly and be configured to contact at least one wheel of the base assembly.

A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus is provided.
