I came across a kijii post selling vacuums although for way more than I would pay but I am curious about these vacuums as they are very odd! Are they real or just movie props?

I mean the first two are def mishmash of parts. Although Id love to know what the handle part of the "nuclear" lol wet dry kirby is from as it's very interesting looking.
I'm most interested in the red weird shaped vacuum and the central with the tv. I want to say that one is also a mishmash but Ive seen some weird retro combination appliances before. |

Also I wonder if that R/C vacuum actually works or that is just for fun? That is an Atari 2600 controller so that clues you into the time period these were made.
It's tough to say if they are movie props without any actual movies or provenance. The seller seems a bit looney tunes. "I will clean them and sell them at a higher price if you don't pat me right now" |

I looked up the air way sanitizor and it's definatly that. I didnt even notice that it had an upright as a power nozzle. Could that ever work? It would have two motors and fans for the suction. Oh oh the nuclear kirbys stick tool also looks like an upright! I still wonder what and where that middle part of it is. Looks like it has some sort of pressure valve.
The red one does look like those coffee can hoovers! I wonder where the other parts came from. Some look like maybe they could work, but I wouldnt be surpised if none did. The "remote control" one i think if it worked it defiantly doesnt work as a vacuum as i dont see how it could suck up anything and also you'd need another motor to drive it. So if it does have a motor to power it, I think it would only be to drive ot around and nothing else. The guy does seem wacky, i looked at some of his other ads after I posted and haha yeah very odd fellow. Okay but if a kirby actually had a lawn mower attachment I'd be so happy. |

We actually used to have a couple of guys on here who made assemblages with vacuums, but I don't think either one of them made these. Their work had the appearance of being professionally done, where these appear to just be "slapped together." I know one of them was from Nebraska, and the other I believe was in Tennessee. But like I said, both of them did much better work than this. And I sure as heck wouldn't pay $1400 for the whole lot!
