A surface cleaning apparatus includes a momentum separator, which includes an outer liquid collection chamber and an inner solid collection chamber that is positioned within the outer liquid collection chamber and separated from the outer liquid collection chamber by an inner chamber wall. At least a portion of the inner chamber wall is porous. The air flow path comprises an inlet conduit that extends from the dirty air inlet to the inner solid collection chamber, and a downstream air flow path extends from the inner solid collection chamber to a suction motor and the porous portion of the inner chamber wall connects the inner solid collection chamber in fluid communication with the downstream air flow path. Air travelling through the inlet conduit enters the inner solid collection chamber in a first flow direction and air exits the inner solid collection chamber is a second, different flow direction.

Hand vacuum cleaner

A free standing apparatus for emptying a dirt collection chamber of a surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow passage from an inlet port to a clean air outlet wherein the dirt collection chamber of the surface cleaning apparatus is removably positionable in air flow communication with the inlet port. An air treatment member is positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the inlet port, the air treatment member comprising a cyclone and an additional cyclonic cleaning stage. A suction motor is positioned in the air flow passage upstream from the clean air outlet of the air flow passage.

Dust and allergen control for surface cleaning apparatus

A reconfigurable upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head and a support structure moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head. The support structure comprises a lower portion having a lower longitudinal axis and an upper portion having an upper longitudinal axis, the lower portion having a lower end moveably coupled to the surface cleaning head and an upper end that is rotatably coupled to the upper portion about a rotational axis that is generally transverse to the forward direction, wherein, the support structure is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the lower portion and the upper portion are generally aligned with each other and an operating position in which the lower portion is rotated rearward with respect to the surface cleaning head and the upper portion is rotated in the forward direction with respect to the lower portion. A hand vacuum cleaner comprising a suction motor and an air treatment member is removably mounted to the support structure. An air flow path comprises a flexible hose.

Surface cleaning apparatus

A household appliance has an air flow path extending from an air inlet to an air outlet with a fan and motor assembly in the air flow path. The fan and motor assembly comprises a motor drivingly connected to a rotating fan blade subassembly. The fan and motor assembly is adjustable between a first configuration in which the rotating fan blade subassembly provides a first level of air flow and a first level of suction and a second configuration in which the rotating fan blade subassembly provides a second level of air flow and a second level of suction wherein the first level of air flow is higher than the second level of air flow and the second level of suction is higher than the first level of suction.

A cyclone separator useable in a surface cleaning apparatus comprises a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber exterior to, and surrounding at least a portion of the cyclone chamber. The dirt collection chamber is in communication with the cyclone chamber via a dirt outlet. An air flow passage extending to the cyclone air inlet travels generally axially through the dirt collection chamber.

Configuration of a cyclone assembly and surface cleaning apparatus having same

A system comprising a vacuum cleaner and an apparatus for receiving dirt from a dirt collection region of the vacuum cleaner. The apparatus has an air flow passage from an inlet port to a clean air outlet, wherein the dirt collection region of the vacuum cleaner is positionable in air flow communication with the inlet port. In an emptying mode of operation, a motor and fan assembly of the system produces a flow of air that conveys dirt from the dirt collection region of the vacuum cleaner to the air treatment member of the apparatus. The vacuum cleaner is docked with the apparatus by a user moving the dirt collection region in a downward direction to a position in which, during the emptying mode of operation, the flow of air conveys the dirt from the dirt collection region of the vacuum cleaner downwardly to the air treatment member of the apparatus.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a cyclone having a cyclone axis of rotation that extends between the front and rear ends of the cyclone. A main body houses a suction motor. The suction motor is positioned at a lower end of the main body and forward of a battery pack provided at a lower end of a pistol grip handle.

Hand carryable surface cleaning apparatus

A surface cleaning apparatus has a housing defining at least part of a cyclone chamber and a pre-motor filter chamber. In one embodiment, the housing is pivotally mounted to the main body of a hand vacuum cleaner. The housing is moveable between an in use position and an emptying position, in which the cyclone chamber and the pre-motor filter are concurrently openable.

A cyclone comprises a cyclone chamber having a first end, a second end and a sidewall extending between the first and second ends. The air inlet and the air outlet are provided at the first end. The first end has a first end wall that extends between the air inlet and the air outlet. The first end wall is concave when view from within the cyclone chamber.

Cyclone such as for use in a surface cleaning apparatus

A surface cleaning apparatus has a rotatably mounted brush. The brush has first and second microfiber pads separated by bristles.

Rotatable brush for surface cleaning apparatus

A surface cleaning apparatus having an upright section moveable relative to a surface cleaning head between a storage position and a rearwardly reclined floor cleaning position. The upright section comprising a removable hand vacuum cleaner. The hand vacuum cleaner is operable in a first mode of operation in which the surface cleaning apparatus is operated to clean a floor, the inlet of the hand vacuum cleaner is in flow communication with the surface cleaning head air outlet and the air treatment member of the hand vacuum cleaner is operable to treat air drawn in through the dirty air inlet of the surface cleaning head. The hand vacuum cleaner is also operable in a second mode of operation in which the hand vacuum cleaner is operable to directly clean a floor or the air inlet of the hand vacuum cleaner is directly connected to the downstream end of an accessory tool.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a surface cleaning head, the surface cleaning head comprising a first liquid separation stage comprising a cyclone having a cyclone axis of rotation, a cyclone first end, an axially spaced apart second end, a cyclone air inlet, a cyclone air outlet and an axially extending sidewall wherein a portion of the sidewall comprises a screen and, when the surface cleaning apparatus is in use to clean a floor, the cyclone axis of rotation extends generally horizontally and, a first liquid collection region that is positioned at a lower elevation than the screen.

An environmental control system comprises a fluid flow path which has a pump and circulates liquid to a first heat exchanger in a first room and to a second heat exchanger in a second room. The fluid flow path comprises a pump. A user inputs a target temperature for the first room via a first user interface that is located in the first room, which is communicated to the control unit and a sensor located in the room communicates the temperature in the first room to the control unit. A user inputs a target temperature for the second room via a second user interface that is located in the second room, which is communicated to the control unit and a sensor located in the room communicates the temperature in the second room to the control unit. The control is physically isolated from the user interfaces and temperatures sensors.
