Abstract:
A low profile upright surface cleaning apparatus has an upright section which includes an air treatment member and a dirt collection region that is positioned laterally from the air treatment member wherein at least 60% of the volume is positioned laterally from the cyclone and/or on only one side of the air treatment member.
Abstract:
A cooking apparatus includes a cooking chamber having one or more cooking zones. One or more of a heating element, an air mover, and a steam generator may be associated with one or more of the cooking zones.
Abstract:
A hand vacuum cleaner can include an air inlet conduit having an inlet conduit axis, a suction motor and fan assembly having a suction motor axis of rotation, and a cyclone unit comprising a cyclone chamber having a cyclone axis of rotation. The inlet conduit axis can be generally parallel to the cyclone axis and when the inlet conduit axis is horizontally disposed, the inlet conduit axis is positioned above the cyclone axis and a projection of the inlet conduit axis intersects the suction motor.
Abstract:
An upright surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has an upright section moveably mounted to a surface cleaning head. The upright section comprises a first stage liquid separator and a second stage cyclone separator, wherein the cyclone separator is positioned above and downstream from the first stage liquid separator when the upright section is in the storage position.
Abstract:
A cyclone assembly for a surface cleaning apparatus has an openable lower end, a first cyclonic cleaning stage, a second cyclonic cleaning stage, and an airflow passage from the first cyclonic cleaning stage to the second cyclonic cleaning stage. The lower end is moveable to an open position in which at least a portion of the air flow passage is opened.
Abstract:
A cyclone assembly for a surface cleaning apparatus has a first cyclonic cleaning stage and a second cyclonic cleaning stage downstream from the first cyclonic cleaning stage. The first cyclonic cleaning stage has a first cyclonic stage air outlet and the second cyclonic cleaning stage has a plurality of second cyclonic stage cyclone air inlets and a second cyclonic stage air inlet end. The first cyclonic cleaning stage air outlet communicates directly with an annular flow region that extends around the second stage air inlet end of the second cyclonic stage.
Abstract:
A hand vacuum cleaner has a suction motor and fan assembly, an air treatment member and a pre-motor filter. The front end of the air treatment member is forward of the pre-motor filter media and the front end of the suction motor is forward of the pre-motor filter media.
