The suction nozzle 10, 12 defines a first suction chamber and a second suction chamber, wherein each suction chamber includes a respective fluid outlet (88, fig 7) in communication with the conduit 6. The first and second suction chambers are preferably separated by a dividing wall 72 which may be in the form of a plurality of bristles, a plurality of filaments and at least one strip of flexible material. The suction chambers can contain an interior wall (100, fig 7) which partitions the suction chamber into a first suction channel (82, fig 7) and a second channel (84, fig 7), with dirt being caused to travel from the first suction channel (82, fig 7) to the second suction channel (84, fig 7) via an intermediate channel (81, fig 7).
