Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006106278A1] A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a debris retrieval body (3), and a first collection means (47) and a second collection means (13) provided within the debris retrieval body for accumulating debris from a surface to be cleaned. A rotatable elongate brush arrangement (27) is provided within the debris retrieval body and is adapted to retrieve a first portion of debris from the surface to be cleaned and to direct the first portion of the debris along a first pathway (311) into the first collection means (47). A first inlet aperture (75) is provided in the debris retrieval body for the passage along a second pathway (315), independent of the first pathway, of a second portion of debris from the surface to be cleaned to the second collection means, the first inlet aperture communicating with a first means for creating suction (17). A second inlet aperture (85) is provided in the debris retrieval body for the passage along a third pathway (313), independent of the first and second pathways, of a third portion of debris from the surface to be cleaned to means for connection to a second means for creating suction.
