1. A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner, the cleaner head housing a hollow brush bar mounted for rotation about an axis, the brush bar being driven by a motor housed inside the hollow brush bar, the motor forming part of a drive assembly fixedly mounted at one end of the cleaner head, the brush bar being arranged to fit around the motor like a sleeve thereby allowing the brush bar to be removed from the cleaner head by sliding the brush bar along the axis and out through an opening at the opposite end of the cleaner head, wherein the brush bar is rotatably supported in clearance around the drive assembly by a first bearing, which bearing engages the brush bar in a corresponding axial-sliding fit so as not to inhibit said sliding removal of the brush bar.
