A cleaning appliance

摘要

The present invention relates to a cleaning appliance (1) of the cylinder type, such as a vacuum cleaner. The cleaning appliance comprises a separating apparatus (4) for separating dirt from a dirt-bearing fluid flow, and a floor-engaging rolling assembly (6). The separating apparatus comprises a first cyclonic separation unit having a low efficiency cyclone and a second cyclonic separation unit having a plurality of second cyclones (84). The rolling assembly (6) comprises a main body (8) and a pair of floor-engaging wheels (10, 12). The main body (8) comprises a recess (18) in which the separating apparatus (4) is received such that when the cleaning appliance is viewed from either side at least one fifth of the width of the low efficiency cyclone is hidden from view by a portion of the rolling assembly at the point of maximum depth of the recess.
