Abstract

The present invention is directed to inventive embodiments of a vacuum cleaner apparatus having a brush assembly which provides effective cleaning with reduced suction and intake area. The brush assembly has a brush core with an outer surface and an inner surface defining a cavity. The brush core is rotatably suspended within an intake area defined by a housing. A bearing within the cavity allows the brush core to rotate via the bearing with respect to the housing. A plurality of agitators extends radially from the outer surface of the brush core to agitate dirt and other debris. Finally, a motor is disposed within the cavity defined by the inner surface of the brush core. The motor is mounted to the housing such that the brush core may rotate relative to the motor and the motor is configured to rotationally drive the brush core about the motor.
