I guess there's a collector out there for just about everything.

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.

My nephew was mad about vacuums up till he was about 5 or 6, and I used to watch vacuum videos with him. There was one kid called numaticrules or something who had a massive collection of Numatic vacuums (the Henry family of vacs). And another channel called Vacsock, which was a guy who just vacuumed up socks.

I wish he watched that stuff still instead of the skibidi crap he watches now.

They all just sitting there collecting dust

Nice pun!
- I think that's a double entendre.

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.

Oh, boy, I hate the "Top 5 X of 2025!" articles in my search.
I just skip right over those

They all suck.

this collection really sucks.

He should put low batteries in each one, see if he can sync the beeps.
- You're thinking of smoke alarms

This guy's hobby sucks.

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!
  So far only one has needed "repair"....in the way of ripping the dog hair out of the roller with a blade.
- The number of vacuums I see thrown away at my condo complex that literally are just clogged...

Just trying to fill the vacuum in their life

I like the cat shaped one

Specialized food-dish vacuum.

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.

This must be a thing. This is not the first time I’ve seen someone with a vacuum collection. There might even be a word for this.

- Might be because obsessively tinkering while high is much more pleasant than obsessively sitting still with your thoughts while high.

There is not only someone who collect things that suck, but also someone who collect things that blow.

Henry is so cute.

He has a theme song if you didn't know.
- I did not know.

Why american vacuuma have faces?

Is the Henry not British?
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

But who's collecting the collectors?

A&E’s Hoarders

Henry, HenrySomething, and James

Where's George? Off sucking Jeff again?

Must be Garbage Time.

My boss is collecting racing bicycles. He does not drive them. He has about 40.

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.

man im jealous

Best one is the Oreck on the right. Like choosing the correct holy grail 😂

Oreck, the Honda of commercial vacuums.
Honestly I never found them to perform better than other vacuums, just that they're simply designed and easily maintained.
While Dyson is overpriced with cool (clear) but inferior materials (clear plastics tend to be more brittle than color), I've found they do work a lot better than most others. Just not $500 better than others.

Do they feel different?

Poor Henry's looking a little anaemic
