A cleaning appliance (10) includes separating apparatus (12) for separating dirt from a dirt-bearing fluid flow, a floor engaging rolling assembly (20) housing a motor driven fan unit (228) for drawing the fluid flow through the separating apparatus (12), a chassis (32) connected to the rolling assembly (20), and a duct (28) for conveying the fluid flow to the separating apparatus (12). To improve the stability of the appliance (10), the duct (28) has an inlet section (44) which is connected to the chassis (32) for pivoting movement relative to the chassis (32) as the appliance (10) is manoeuvred over a floor surface. An outlet section (46) for coupling the inlet section (44) to the separating apparatus (12) is releasably connected to the rolling assembly (20) to facilitate the removal of any blockages within the duct (28). |
