Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum collection system for sucking up debris from a surface to be cleaned, a fluid delivery system for delivering a cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned, and a recovery system for removing spent cleaning fluid and debris from the surface to be cleaned. The fluid delivery and recovery systems can be particularly configured for small area extraction, such as in treating spots and stains on a carpet.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a foot assembly having a suction inlet thereon, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction inlet to produce a working airflow there through, and a dirt container in fluid communication with the suction inlet and suction source. The foot assembly further includes a body defined by a central portion and a pair of extension arms, a rotatable agitator on each extension arm, and a drive assembly configured to counter-rotate the agitators. The counter-rotating agitators are operable to cooperate with the suction source to direct dust and debris towards the suction inlet.
