A cleaner head (8) for a vacuum cleaner (2), comprising an agitator in the form of a brush bar (18), the brush bar (18) comprising a plurality of radially extending bristles (46) and a sealing material (52) disposed between the bristles (46). The sealing material (52) extends over substantially the entire circumferential and axial extent of the regions of the brush bar (18) between the bristles (46). The cleaner head (8) further comprises a housing (22) defining a chamber (24) which at least partially surrounds the brush bar (18), a dirty air inlet (68) in a lower part of the chamber (24) and a front opening that exposes the brush bar (18) at the front of the housing (22). The brush bar (18) is supported for rotation with respect to the housing (22) and arranged in the chamber (24) such that the brush bar (18) seals against the housing (22) thereby restricting flow of air through the front opening. |
