PORTABLE HARD SURFACE CLEANING DEVICE

A portable hard-surface cleaning appliance (10) for withdrawing, and sucking up, liquid from a hard surface comprises a suction nozzle (62) with a suction opening (66), on which is arranged at least one withdrawal lip (68, 70), also comprises a suction subassembly (16) and a separating-off chamber (50), which is positioned between the suction nozzle (62) and the suction subassembly (16) and in which is arranged a separating-off device (52, 74) for separating off liquid from the liquid/air mixture, and further comprising a dirty-liquid tank (28) for accommodating the separated-off liquid. The dirty-liquid tank (28) is retained in a releasable manner in a tank-accommodating compartment (26) and the suction subassembly (16) has a suction turbine (18) enclosed by a turbine housing (82), which is connected to the separating-off chamber (50) via a turbine-inlet part. In order to develop the portable hard-surface cleaning appliance (10) such that it has a low level of noise development, the turbine housing (82) is connected to the tank-accommodating compartment (26) via a turbine-outlet part, wherein a wall (94) of the tank-accommodating compartment (26) and the dirty-liquid tank (28) bounds an air-outlet space (146), into which the turbine-outlet part opens out and via which the air which is taken in by the suction turbine (18) can be discharged to the surroundings.
