Abstract

A surface treating appliance includes a first cyclonic separating unit 40, a second cyclonic separating unit 42 including a plurality of cyclones 80 arranged in parallel, each cyclone having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the plurality of cyclones being divided into at least a first set of cyclones 100 and a second set of cyclones 102, and a plurality of conduits (132, fig 4a) for conveying fluid from the first cyclonic separating unit 40 to the second cyclonic separating unit 42. Within each set 100, 102, the cyclones are arranged in a plurality of subsets (110, 112, 114, 116, 118, fig 5), each subset (110, 112, 114, 116, 118, fig 5) including at least two cyclones 80 and the fluid inlets of each subset (110, 112, 114, 116, 118, fig 5) of cyclones being arranged to receive fluid from a respective conduit 132, fig 4a).
