Abstract

A surface treating appliance comprises a first cyclonic separating unit and downstream from the first cyclonic separating unit 40 and a second cyclonic separating unit 42. The second cyclonic separating unit 42 comprises a plurality of cyclones 80 arranged in parallel about an axis (Y, fig 4a) and a dust collector (144, fig 4a) arranged to receive dust from each of the plurality of cyclones 80, each cyclone comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The plurality of cyclones 80 are divided up into at least a first set of cyclones 100 and a second set of cyclones 102, the fluid inlets of the first set of cyclones 100 being arranged in a first group and the fluid inlets of the second set of cyclones 102 being arranged in a second group spaced along the axis (Y, fig 4a) from the first group 100. Preferably the second cyclonic separating unit 42 is above the first cyclonic separating unit 40.
