    Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a cleaning apparatus can include a brushroll, a motor disposed within the brushroll and configured to rotate the brushroll, a debris receptacle comprising a debris inlet. A scraper may be disposed above the debris inlet such that the scraper projects into the brushroll. A ramp can be formed on the scraper. The ramp may extend between an outer edge of the scraper above the debris inlet and into an interior region of the debris receptacle. The ramp can include a runoff surface configured to direct debris and liquid removed from the brushroll by the scraper as the brushroll rotates into the debris receptacle at a negative angle relative to a surface being cleaned. A squeegee assembly may be disposed across a full width of the nozzle assembly.
