Surface cleaning apparatus

A portable surface cleaning apparatus for delivering a cleaning fluid to and extracting cleaning fluid and debris from a surface to be cleaned, the portable surface cleaning apparatus comprising:

• a main housing assembly carrying a fluid delivery system for storing cleaning fluid and delivering the cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned, and a fluid recovery system for removing the cleaning fluid and debris from the surface to be cleaned and storing the recovered cleaning fluid and debris, the main housing assembly comprising a base housing with an upwardly extending partition housing;
• the fluid delivery system comprising a supply tank received on the main housing assembly and a pump assembly in fluid communication with the supply tank, wherein the base housing defines an internal pump chamber for receiving the pump assembly;
• the fluid recovery system comprising:
• a recovery tank received on the main housing assembly and separated from the supply tank by the partition housing;
• an extraction nozzle;
• and
• a motor/fan assembly in fluid communication with the extraction nozzle and the recovery tank to generate a working air flow from the extraction nozzle into the recovery tank, wherein the motor/fan assembly is provided within the partition housing;
• a carry handle defining a handle grip spaced above the supply tank and the recovery tank, wherein the handle grip does not intersect the supply tank or the recovery tank;
• and
• a pump-cooling air pathway fluidly connected with the fluid recovery system and comprising an inlet defined by an inlet opening provided in the base housing.
