Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a suction inlet, a suction source configured to generate an airflow through the suction inlet to draw debris with the airflow through the suction inlet, and a separator assembly. The separator assembly includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, a debris collection chamber within the housing, and an inner chamber formed within a shroud that defines a cyclone axis and has a perforated portion. The inner chamber has a first end and a second end. The first end has a tangential inlet. The second end is open toward the debris collection chamber. An outflow passageway is outside of the shroud and in fluid communication with the air outlet and a filter is in fluid communication with the outflow passageway.

Abstract: A surface cleaning device including a head including an inlet in fluid communication with a fluid tank and a suction source. The inlet is configured to receive a cleaning fluid from a surface. The head further includes an inlet extension member that at least partially surrounds the inlet, the inlet extension member including an opening and the inlet extension member movable with respect to the inlet between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the inlet is closer to the surface than the opening of the inlet extension member and in the second position, the opening of the inlet extension member is closer to the surface than the inlet.
