A filter system for a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The system comprises a housing reconfigurable relative to a bin between an operative configuration in which the housing is disposed upon the bin so that dirt separated from dirt-laden air can collect in the bin, and an idle configuration in which the housing is removed from the bin. The housing comprises an inlet for receiving dirt-laden air into the housing, an outlet via which cleaned air can exit the housing. The system further comprises first filtering means and second filtering means disposed within the housing, the first filtering means being positioned upstream of the second filtering means. The first and second filtering means comprises a filter medium configured to separate dirt from the dirt-laden air passing from the inlet to the outlet through the filter medium. The system further comprises filter cleaning means for removing dirt from the filter medium of the first filtering means when the housing is configured at least in the operative configuration.

An antibacterial cleaning machine with wet filter includes a container body inside which are disposed at least one motor group for aspirating flows of air and debris from outside; at least one first tank for collecting the debris which contains a first volume of filtering liquid which is arranged along the passage path between the inlet and outlet; at least one internal path of the flows of air and debris that includes an inlet, an outlet, conveying means that have an inlet immersed in the filtering liquid. The tank includes at least one sanitizing element made of silver and/or silver alloy which is positioned immersed in the volume of filtering liquid.

A floor cleaner includes a recovery tank including an inflow path allowing liquid-laden air to enter the recovery tank, an outflow path allowing air to exit the recovery tank; and a chamber for storing liquid. The chamber includes an inlet, a separator that separates liquid from the liquid-laden air, an air outlet, and a float. The float includes a base and a valve with an indicator. The float is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the valve is spaced away from the air outlet and air is allowed to exit the chamber. In the second position the valve is adjacent the outlet and impedes air from exiting the chamber. In the second position the indicator is visible when the chamber is full.

The invention relates to a filter (10) for a suction device, in particular a vacuum cleaner, a wet vacuum cleaner or the like, to a suction device, and to a cleaning method, the filter comprising a filter housing (11) within which a suction air duct (12) for conveying a suction air flow is formed, the filter housing having a centrifugal separator (13) for separating particles from the suction air flow and a container (14) for collecting the separated particles. The filter has a metering device (15) disposed upstream of the centrifugal separator in a flow direction of the suction air flow, the metering device being configured to spray liquid into the suction air flow.
