Abstract

The disclosure relates to surface cleaning apparatus comprising a portable surface cleaning apparatus, such as a hand vacuum cleaner or a pod. One of the problems addressed in the disclosure is increasing the dirt carrying capacity of a hand carriable vacuum cleaner. Described is a hand carriable surface cleaning apparatus having a front end, a rear end, a top and a bottom. The apparatus comprises a dirty fluid inlet provided at the front end, and a cyclone downstream of the dirty fluid inlet that comprises a lower end, an upper end positioned above the lower end when the bottom is resting on a horizontal surface, an air inlet, and an air outlet at the upper end. The apparatus comprises a pre-motor filter positioned in a pre-motor filter housing having an openable cover. The pre-motor filter comprises an upstream side and a downstream side, and is positioned above and overlies at least a portion of the upper end of the cyclone when the bottom is resting on a horizontal surface. The pre-motor filter is downstream of the cyclone. The cover is openable without moving the pre-motor filter. The hand carriable surface cleaning apparatus also comprises an upstream header on the upstream side of the pre-motor filter, and opening the cover opens the upstream header and reveals the upstream side of the pre-motor filter. The apparatus comprises a handle positioned rearward of the openable cover. The apparatus further comprises a suction motor positioned downstream of the pre-motor filter and rearward of the cyclone, an air flow path extending from the pre-motor filter to the suction motor, and a clean air outlet downstream of the suction motor.
