The grip has a grip axis oriented along the length of the grip. In a second aspect, the handgrip has a handle base, a first member attached to the handle base and adapted to be pivotable about a first axis, and a second member attached to the first member and adapted to be pivotable about a second axis. The first axis is fixed with respect to the handle base, and the second axis is fixed with respect to the first member. In other aspects, the handgrip is attached to a floor cleaning device having a vacuum inlet, a dirt collection device, an air flow path from the vacuum inlet to the dirt collection device, and a vacuum source adapted to generate a working air flow through the air flow path from the vacuum inlet to the dirt collection device.
