A surface cleaning apparatus, such as a carpet extractor, includes a base and a fluid recovery system for drawing dirty cleaning fluid from a surface to be cleaned. The fluid recovery system includes a suction nozzle in fluid communication with a recovery chamber. The suction nozzle is mounted to the base for vertical movement with respect to the base and is biased into contact with the surface to be cleaned.

A floor cleaner includes a hose port in an upper wall of a nozzle, the hose port is located at an elevation between an outlet of the suction nozzle and an inlet of the suction nozzle. A cover for the hose port is movable relative to the suction nozzle between an open position and a closed position. The floor cleaner further includes a hose including a connector, the connector insertable into the hose port when the cover is in the open position to removably couple the hose to the hose port and provide fluid communication between the hose and a recovery tank through the outlet of the suction nozzle.

A cleaning robot, a control method, and a storage medium, the cleaning robot comprising a roller brush assembly, a roller brush switching assembly, a detection assembly, and a control assembly, the roller brush assembly comprising at least two roller brushes; the detection assembly is used for detecting the medium type of the surface to be cleaned and generating a signal on the basis of the detection result; and the control assembly is used for controlling the roller brush switching assembly on the basis of the signal of the detection assembly to switch to at least one of the roller brushes amongst the at least two roller brushes for executing a cleaning operation.
