A surface treating appliance

摘要

A surface treating appliance includes cyclonic separating apparatus having a plurality of cyclones arranged in parallel and a dust collector arranged to receive dust from each of the plurality of cyclones. Each cyclone has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The plurality of cyclones is divided into at least a first set of cyclones and a second set of cyclones. The fluid inlets of the first set of cyclones are located in a first plane and the fluid inlets of the second set of cyclones are located in a second plane spaced from the first plane. This enables the separating apparatus to have a compact appearance.
