Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner having an air inlet, an air outlet, a fan configured to rotate around a fan axis to create an air flow through an air flow path extending from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a separation device arranged in the air flow path. The separation device is configured to separate dust from air flowing through the air flow path. The air flow path comprises a sound reducing section extending from the fan in an extension direction, and wherein the angle between the extension direction and the fan axis is less than 45 degrees.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter unit (1) for use in a water filtering device (30). The filter unit comprises a housing (3) having an inlet (13a-d) for receiving water to be filtered and an outlet (25) for dispensing filtered water. A water filtering medium (5) is contained in between the inlet and outlet. The water filtering medium (5) comprises an ion exchange resin layer (5b) and an activated carbon loaded material layer (5c), which layers are provided as two distinct layers arranged in the housing. The invention further relates to a water filtering device, such as a water filter jug, comprising a filter unit.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a body with a vacuum source. The vacuum cleaner is provided with at least two filter chambers, a first filter chamber for a first filter means in a surface cleaning mode and a second chamber for the same or a second filter means in a filter cleaning mode.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner dust separation unit having a cyclone chamber (113) and a dust collection chamber (115). The cyclone chamber (113) extends along a longitudinal axis (398), and has an air inlet (183), an air outlet (408), an inlet wall (396) between the air inlet (183) and the air outlet (408), and one or more air passages (404) through the inlet wall (396). The dust collection chamber (115) is adapted to receive dirt from the cyclone chamber (113). In one aspect, the inlet wall (396) comprises an elliptical wall that is located adjacent the air inlet (182) and angled relative to the longitudinal axis (398). In another aspect, the cyclone chamber (113) has an end wall (432) located opposite the inlet wall (396), and a dirt outlet (114) to the dust collection chamber (115) located adjacent the end wall (432), and the end wall (432) has a recessed portion (438) surrounding an extended portion (436) that protrudes into the cyclone chamber (113).
