A cleaning appliance comprises a main body (12, fig 1), including a motor and fan unit for generating an airflow, separating apparatus (100, fig 1) for separating dirt and dust from the airflow and a passageway 114 for receiving a filter 20. The passageway 114 and pre-motor filter 20 being located downstream of the separating apparatus (100, fig 1) and upstream of the motor and fan unit, and the filter 20 having an at least partially curved filter surface. The filter 20 is arranged around at least a part or the motor and fan unit is removable through a side of the appliance. The filter 20 is preferably removable through a wheel (14, fig 1) at the side of the appliance with a portion (151, fig 5) of the wheel being movable between sealed and open positions. The filter 20 is preferably a cylindrical filter than extends fully around the motor. The arrangement facilitates ease of removal of the filter from the cleaning appliance. |
