Abstract: The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a recovery system that extracts liquid and debris with a drying cycle in which forced air flows through a recovery pathway of the recovery system to dry out components that remain wet and/or retain moisture after normal operation of the apparatus. The post-operation drying cycle can dry out components such as an agitator or brushroll, a brush chamber, a suction nozzle, a recovery tank, a filter, and any of the various conduits, ducts, and/or hoses fluidly coupling components of the recovery system together.

Abstract: A cleaner employing an agitation cartridge to clean a side surface beyond a reach of other onboard cleaning implements. The cleaner may be an autonomous floor cleaner having a body, a cleaning implement onboard the body operable for cleaning a floor surface, a motorized drive system operable for autonomously moving the body over the floor surface, and a scrubbing belt operable for cleaning the side surface.

Abstract: A floor cleaner can include a housing adapted for movement over a surface to be cleaned and at least one edge cleaning brush provided on the housing. The edge cleaning brush includes multiple cleaning implements which rotate on different axes. A gear system, such as a planetary gear system, can drive one cleaning implement at a lower speed than another cleaning implement.

Abstract: An autonomous surface cleaner for cleaning a floor or other surface. The cleaner may include a body, a cleaning implement for cleaning a surface, a motorized drive system, a pair of wheels operable with the motorized drive system to assist moving the body relative to the surface, one or more actuators operable for controllably adjusting a height of the body, and/or a balancing system operable to self-balance the body.

Abstract: Display of a wet cleaning routine of an autonomous floor cleaning robot is provided. Estimated wetness of areas of the floor can be tracked and displayed to the user so they can avoid walking on those areas of the floor until sufficiently dried. The areas of the map that that are still wet from cleaning can be displayed and transition to a different type of indicia over time as the floor dries. The wet floor status can be tracked with a timer by comparing elapsed time since the autonomous floor cleaner traversed the subject region and dispensed cleaning solution with an estimated drying time for cleaning solution on the floor. The estimated drying time can be based upon the flow rate of the autonomous floor cleaner.

Abstract: An autonomous floor cleaner can include a housing, a drive system for autonomously moving the housing over the surface to be cleaned, and a controller for controlling the operation of the autonomous floor cleaner. The drive system can include at least one drive wheel for driving the housing across a surface to be cleaned. The drive wheel can be selectively moved from an engaged or in-use position to a disengaged or maintenance position. In the disengaged or maintenance position, the wheel is disengaged from the autonomously moveable housing such that it can be pivoted, extended, removed, or otherwise moved farther away from the autonomously moveable housing.

Abstract: A docking station for removing wet and dry debris from a floor cleaner. The docking station includes a dry debris conduit for evacuating a debris from the floor cleaner and a wet debris conduit for evacuating liquid and wet debris from the floor cleaner. The liquid and wet debris may be collected from a pad cleaning cycle performed at the docking station. Methods for servicing or performing maintenance on a floor cleaner by a docking station are disclosed.
