Abstract

A vacuum cleaner (20) includes a surface cleaning head (24), a pivot assembly pivotally coupled to the surface cleaning head (24), a cleaning wand (36) removably coupled to the pivot assembly, and a canister assembly (40) removably coupled to the pivot assembly. The canister assembly (40) includes a first electrical connector (120) connected to a power source, a dirt separation unit (96), and a suction motor (100) electrically connected to the power source and in fluid communication with a dirty air inlet of the cleaning head (24), the cleaning wand (36), and the dirt separation unit (96). The vacuum cleaner (20) also includes a second electrical connector (124) on the pivot assembly. The vacuum cleaner (20) is operable in an upright configuration and in a portable configuration. The cleaning wand (36) is removable from the pivot assembly when the vacuum cleaner (20) is in the upright configuration and when the vacuum cleaner (20) is in the portable configuration.
