According to the invention there is provided a cleaning appliance (10, fig 1) comprising a main body 12 and a collecting chamber 100 releasably held on the main body (10, fig 1). The collecting chamber 100 comprises a closure member 106 which is movable between a closed position and an open position in which the collecting chamber 100 can be emptied. The collecting chamber 100 further comprises an actuating member 150 adapted and arranged to release the collecting chamber 100 from the main body (12, fig 4) and, when the collecting chamber 100 is released from the main body (12, fig 4) to release the closure member 106 from the closed position. By providing such an arrangement, a single actuating member 150 can be used to release the collecting chamber 100 from the main body (12, fig 4) of the cleaning appliance (10, fig 4) and also to open the closure member 106 to empty the collecting chamber 100. A single actuating member 150 is less complex, requires less space and is more intuitive for a user to operate. |
