Surface cleaning apparatus

A cleaning assembly comprising:

• a vacuum cleaner;
• a wand fluidly coupled to the vacuum cleaner;
• and
• a surface cleaning head fluidly coupled to the wand, the vacuum cleaner including:
• a body having a longitudinal axis extending through a handle end and an attachment end, the attachment end being opposite the handle end along the longitudinal axis of the body, the attachment end being configured to be removably coupled to the wand and including a suction inlet;
• a dust cup disposed between the handle end and the attachment end;
• a suction motor disposed between the handle end and the attachment end and configured to be fluidly coupled to the suction inlet;
• a body latch positioned at least partially within the body adjacent the attachment end;
• a first and a second body toggle disposed on a first and a second opposite side of the body and positioned closer to the handle end than the attachment end, the first and second body toggles configured to cause the body latch to transition between:
• a retaining position in which the body latch couples the wand to the suction inlet such that the suction inlet is fluidly coupled to the wand;
• and
• a releasing position in which the body latch disengages the wand such that the suction inlet is not fluidly coupled to the wand;
• and
• a linkage connecting the body latch to both the first and second body toggles, the linkage being positioned at least partially within the body.

A cleaning system comprising:

• a docking station;
• and
• a cleaning assembly configured to couple to the docking station, the cleaning assembly including:
• a vacuum cleaner;
• a wand fluidly coupled to the vacuum cleaner;
• and
• a surface cleaning head fluidly coupled to the wand, the vacuum cleaner including:
• a body having a longitudinal axis extending through a handle end and an attachment end, the attachment end being opposite the handle end along the longitudinal axis of the body, the attachment end being configured to be removably coupled to the wand and including a suction inlet;
• a dust cup disposed between the handle end and the attachment end;
• a suction motor disposed between the handle end and the attachment end and configured to be fluidly coupled to the suction inlet;
• a body latch positioned at least partially within the body adjacent the attachment end;
• a first and a second body toggle disposed on a first and a second opposite side of the body and positioned closer to the handle end than the attachment end, the first and second body toggles configured to cause the body latch to transition between:
• a retaining position in which the body latch couples the wand to the suction inlet such that the suction inlet is fluidly coupled to the wand;
• and
• a releasing position in which the body latch disengages the wand such that the suction inlet is not fluidly coupled to the wand;
• and
• a linkage connecting the body latch to both the first and second body toggles, the linkage being positioned at least partially within the body.
