A vacuum cleaner comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis. A motor-fan assembly is mounted in the housing and arranged to generate an airflow along an airflow path from a dirty air inlet to an air exhaust. A retractable nozzle defines the dirty air inlet and is moveably mounted on the housing. At least a portion of the retractable nozzle is arranged to move between a retracted configuration within the housing and a deployed configuration outside the housing. The portion of the retractable nozzle in the retracted configuration is aligned in a direction along the longitudinal axis and the portion of the retractable nozzle in the deployed configuration is aligned in a direction across the longitudinal axis.

Disclosed is a robot cleaner which adjusts a suction area of air suctioned into a suction port through a shutter and a shutter driving device configured to operate the shutter, so that a flow rate of air is adjusted, thus more effectively suctioning dust in the air by using a fan motor having a fixed capacity.

A surface treatment apparatus may include a coupling, a handle, an accessory coupled to the coupling, and a toggle proximate the handle. The accessory may have at least two operational states. An actuation of the toggle may cause the accessory to transition between operational states.

An improved cleaning head for a vacuum assembly. The cleaning head has a body with a bottom surface. Within the cleaning head is at least one suction channel that leads into a vacuum cleaner. A first rotating brush is mounted to the body of the cleaning head in front of a suction channel. A towelette support is mounted within the body adjacent the first rotating brush. The towelette support is configured to receive a disposable towelette. A second rotating brush may also be provided, wherein the towelette support would be interposed between the first and second rotating brushes. A mechanism is provided for selectively moving the towelette support within the body between an extended position and a retracted position.

A vacuum cleaner assembly and vacuum cleaner with a vacuum cleaner assembly, including a suction device with a basic body with a first end with at least one suction inlet for connection with a suction tube and/or suction hose of the vacuum cleaner. Furthermore, the basic body divides at a second end into two substantially tubular suction ducts, each having a suction intake, wherein one suction arm each is associated with the suction intakes, and wherein the suction arms are provided pivotable about the associated suction duct.

Provided is a pet brush capable of efficiently performing brushing and cleaning of fallen hair or the like scattered the surroundings or adhering to furniture without taking time and effort. A pet brush includes a head main body that is formed into a hollow shape and in which a connection port, which is connectable to a suction hose connected to a vacuum cleaner, and a suction port for suction are open, an elastic cleaning portion that is provided in the head main body and is made of an elastic body, and a brush member that is provided in the head main body. The brush member is supported by the head main body to be movable between a use position at which the brush member protrudes from the head main body and a storage position at which the brush member is stored inside the head main body.

Disclosed is a vacuum cleaner that opens or closes a hole formed in a suction portion according to a state of a surface to be cleaned, thereby efficiently cleaning. A vacuum cleaner includes a suction portion configured to suck foreign materials on a surface to be cleaned. The suction portion includes a case having an air hole formed in a flow path, a frame configured to be accommodated in the case and open or close the air hole, and a button configured to be mounted on the case and be operated to move the frame.

A robot vacuum cleaner that may increase cleaning efficiency around obstacles includes a main body having an intake to suck in dust and air while the main body is driven on a floor, a shutter installed in front of the intake to be able to move from the main body toward the floor, and a shutter driver configured to supply power to move the shutter.
