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.
He should put low batteries in each one, see if he can sync the beeps.
You’re thinking of smoke alarms
There is not only someone who collect things that suck, but also someone who collect things that blow.
They all just sitting there collecting dust
Nice pun!
I think that’s a double entendre.
A woman walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a double entendre.
So he gave it to her.
This guy’s hobby sucks.
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
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.

Just trying to fill the vacuum in their life
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
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.
The word is “meth addict”.
Okay, two words.
Growing up in small town America, a surprising number of meth addicts I knew would buy vacuums from thrift stores to tinker with and/or obsessively clean with while high.
Might be because obsessively tinkering while high is much more pleasant than obsessively sitting still with your thoughts while high.
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.
The number of vacuums I see thrown away at my condo complex that literally are just clogged…
Smart!
So far only one has needed “repair”…in the way of ripping the dog hair out of the roller with a blade.
this collection really sucks.
They all suck.
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.
Henry is so cute.
He has a theme song if you didn’t know.
I did not know.
man im jealous
