Floor cleaning machine

A floor cleaning machine for cleaning a floor surface, comprising:

• a frame including a foot and a handle;
• a suction nozzle coupled to the foot configured to draw a flow of air and dirty fluid from the floor surface;
• a recovery tank detachably coupled to the frame in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, the recovery tank including,
• an inlet conduit in downstream fluid communication with the suction nozzle,
• a flow divider including a divider inlet in downstream fluid communication with the inlet conduit, the flow divider dividing the flow into at least two separate flow paths, each separate flow path including a first flow path portion for directing the flow in a first direction away from the divider inlet, a second flow path portion directing the flow in a second flow direction that is substantially different from the first flow direction, and a flow redirector portion for redirecting the flow from the first flow direction to the second flow direction, and
• a tank body supported by the frame and in downstream fluid communication with the flow divider, the tank body collecting the dirty fluid;
• and
• a suction source in fluid communication with the recovery tank configured to draw the air from the tank body.
