Abstract

A cyclonic vacuum cleaner having suction generation means to create a suction airflow path through a region of the cleaner and in particular a first dust collection container (101) and a second dust collection container (102). The internal volumes of the dust collection containers (101), (102) are spatially separate to increase the dust collection capacity of each container. Optionally the containers (101), (102) are arranged side-by-side where guide means extend between the two chambers (101), (102) to provide airflow communication from the first to the second container. The cyclonic airflow path within the first container is created by directing the airflow from an airflow inlet onto the internal walls that define the first chamber (101) so as to maximize the internal volume of the first container (101).
