A vacuum cleaner comprises a cyclone unit 38 having an axis of rotation that in use, is arranged more than 45 degrees from the vertical. The cyclone unit 38 may be horizontally positioned and situated in the base (8, fig 4) and between the wheels 32, 34 of the vacuum cleaner arrangement. A number of fins 62 enable the cyclone unit 38 to be orientated inside the base such that suction ducts in the cyclone unit align with holes in the base. Various other vacuum configurations are also defined and these are a vacuum cleaner head and a vacuum cleaner characterised by an opening and at least two pipes (66, 68, fig 11) leading from the opening, a vacuum cleaner characterised by a handle incorporating a switch (14, fig 5), a vacuum cleaner characterised by a handle that is movable between a first position and a second position and a vacuum cleaner characterised by a variable power control switch. |
