Bare floor cleaner

A wet/dry bare floor cleaner comprising:

• a base;
• a recovery system comprising:
• a wet suction nozzle;
• a dry suction nozzle;
• a recovery tank for receiving wet and dry debris;
• a working air conduit extending from each of the dry suction nozzle and the wet suction nozzle to the recovery tank;
• a diverter mounted in the working air conduit and movable between a dry suction position and a wet suction position for selectively at least partially blocking working air flow from the wet suction nozzle and the dry suction nozzle, respectively, to the recovery tank;
• and
• a motor/fan assembly mounted to one of the handle and the base and adapted to create a working air flow in the working air conduit from at least one of the dry suction nozzle and the wet nozzle and to the recovery tank;
• and
• a handle pivotally connected to the base movement between a dry suction position and a wet suction position;
• the handle including a bi-directional grip having a first portion adapted to be conveniently gripped by a hand of the user when the handle is in the dry suction position and a second portion which is adapted to be conveniently gripped by the hand of the user in substantially the same relative position when the handle is in the wet suction position.
