Surface cleaner

A surface cleaner comprising:

• a suction source configured to generate a suction airflow along an airpath between a suction inlet and an air exhaust;
• a collection container along the airpath in communication with the suction inlet and the suction source;
• a base movable along a surface to be cleaned, the base including a nozzle forming the suction inlet;
• a conduit between the nozzle and the collection container along the airpath;
• an upright portion pivotally coupled to the base;
• a supply tank configured to contain a cleaning solution;
• a fluid distribution system having a fluid port disposed on the base in fluid communication with the supply tank configured to selectively deliver fluid from the supply tank;
• an actuator configured to initiate fluid delivery through the fluid port;
• the base including a first accessory body removably coupled to the base, the first accessory body including a first fluid distributor releasably coupled to the fluid port configured to deliver fluid to the surface to be cleaned when the first accessory body is coupled to the base;
• the nozzle having a first nozzle portion having a first nozzle passageway attached to the base and a second nozzle portion having a second nozzle passageway attached to the first accessory body and removable with the first accessory body;
• the first nozzle portion and second nozzle portion releasably coupled connecting the first and second nozzle passageways along the airpath in fluid communication with the collection container when the first accessory body is coupled to the base;
• the base including a second accessory body, the second accessory body having a third nozzle portion having a third nozzle passageway and a second fluid distributor;
• the second accessory body releasably couplable to the base to couple the second fluid distributor to the fluid port when the first accessory body is uncoupled, connecting the first and third nozzle passageways along the airpath in fluid communication with the collection container when the second accessory body is coupled to the base.

• the first nozzle portion and the second nozzle portion releasably coupled connecting the first and second nozzle passageways along the airpath in fluid communication with the collection container when the accessory body is coupled to the base;
• wherein the first nozzle passageway forms the suction inlet when the accessory body is coupled to the base;
• and
• wherein the second nozzle passageway forms the suction inlet in communication with the collection container and the suction source when the accessory body is uncoupled from the base, the surface cleaner further comprising,
• a supply tank configured to contain a cleaning solution;
• a fluid distribution system having a fluid distributor disposed on the base in fluid communication with the supply tank configured to selectively deliver fluid from the supply tank to the surface to be cleaned;
• and
• an actuator configured to initiate fluid delivery through the fluid distributor,
• wherein the fluid distributor is disposed on the accessory body configured to deliver fluid to the surface to be cleaned when the accessory body is coupled to the base and the actuator is actuated.
