Abstract

An apparatus (10) includes a body (14), a head (16), a handle (12), an audio source and audio output, and at least one control (43, 45, 46) on the handle for controlling the audio source. The floor care apparatus (10) may be a vacuum cleaner, carpet sweeper, extractor, or floor machine. The audio source may be a radio receiver, compact disk player, cassette tape player, or disk drive. The audio output may be a speaker or an electrical connector such as an audio or headphone jack (50). The audio control may be an on/off switch (42), a volume control, a tuning control, or a fast forward or rewind control. The floor care apparatus may further include a rechargeable power source. The handle (12) is configured to be gripped. The handle (12) may include a coupler sized and dimensioned to couple the handle to a desired apparatus (10), such as a floor care apparatus. The handle (12) may further include an electrical connector configured to couple with a complementary electrical connector in the apparatus to provide power and control therebetween. Visual indications (71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83) of the operating condition of the device and other alerts can be provided by readouts carried by the handle.
