Abstract: A surface cleaner includes a base including a suction inlet in fluid communication with a debris separator and a suction source. The base includes a housing having a channel extending around at least a portion of the suction inlet, the channel having a first sidewall offset from a second sidewall. The base further includes a soleplate configured to slide along the surface being cleaned, the soleplate including a suction inlet aperture that defines at least a portion of the suction inlet, the soleplate further including an inner rib, an outer rib, and a channel between the inner rib and the outer rib. The inner rib frictionally engages the first sidewall and the outer rib frictionally engages the second sidewall to create a seal between the soleplate and the housing.
