<p>A surface treating appliance includes a first cyclonic separating unit including a plurality of first cyclones arranged in parallel about an axis, and a second cyclonic separating unit located downstream from the first cyclonic separating unit and including a plurality of second cyclones arranged in parallel about said axis. Each second cyclone has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The plurality of second cyclones is divided into at least a first set of second cyclones and a second set of second cyclones. The fluid inlets of the first set of second cyclones are arranged in a first group and the fluid inlets of the second set of second cyclones are arranged in a second group spaced along said axis from the first group. This enables the separating apparatus to have a compact appearance.</p> |
