FYI, Reddit is not a microblog.
I’ll leave this one up since it’s pretty unique and humorous as far as reddit posts go.
Gotcha, sorry. I’ll hold off on posting reddit screenshots here.
I really appreciate that these types of collectors of random appliances exist whenever I need to buy something and want to read real opinions written by people instead of the garbage sponsored recommendation list articles that seemed to pollute the search results (even before the LLMs appeared) that forced everyone to start appending ‘reddit’ to their Google queries.
this collection really sucks.
We’re you not at the vacuum collector meet up featured in How to with John Wilson (s03e04)?
My exact thought when I saw this post.
Same, came to recommend the series. So many good clips!
I’d love to see a whole series dedicated entirely to finding these people who have dedicated their entire life to some esoteric craft.
I may or may not own 4 myself.
Every couple of years, my mom gets mad at her vacuum cleaner and buys a new one. I get the “if you can fix it, it’s all yours!” hand-me-downs and…all of them have worked just fine.
The only one I purchased myself was the shop vac
Used to snatch them off the side of the road in the 90s. Watch a movie while cleaning them up, new bag and a belt, $20 profit.
Smart!

The number of vacuums I see thrown away at my condo complex that literally are just clogged…
I like the cat shaped one
Specialized food-dish vacuum.
Just trying to fill the vacuum in their life
Henry is so cute.
Best one is the Oreck on the right. Like choosing the correct holy grail 😂
But who’s collecting the collectors?
He should put low batteries in each one, see if he can sync the beeps.
You’re thinking of smoke alarms
My boss is collecting racing bicycles. He does not drive them. He has about 40.
Do they feel different?
Why american vacuuma have faces?
Thats a
US’British companies brand identity, might say something about US-ans that they make a profit this way but might also not say anything about people from the usa.Edit: Numatic the name of said company and it is from England. Interesting fact as a bonus:
The company was founded on 9 September 1963, and as of 2024 is owned solely by Chairman and Founder Chris Duncan, who created the compact shape for the cleaner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numatic_International
Not judging just thought it was cute
Funnily enough i looked it up some time after replying to you, only to find out it is actually a British company and not a US one.

So this is why Amazon really pushed vacuums to me after I bought one. I was like really Amazon I only need one stop please I don’t need 10 vacuums.
